SIMvVK 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon For many years the college choir sang “The &ven Last Words” on the afternoon of Easter Sunday, but the annual program was switched to the afternoon of Palm Sunday when the college began scheduling its annual spring vacation to include the Easter weekend. The Dubois cantata, as perhaps no other does, tells the story of the first Easter and of the sufferings of Christ on the cross. The cantata is of scriptural background, telling of the seven great speeches of Christ during his sufferings on the day of crucifixion. Many music lovers in this area have heard the Elon Singers pre sent the cantata year after year, but they always look forward each time to the dramatic climax that Fletcher Moore again playing the organ accompaniment. The Elon Singers will feature a chorus of more than forty voices, with thre^ guest soloists in featured roles.
