This! neglected chonal master piece has had a most unusual his tory. When it was first performed in New York and Boston in 1893, several reviewers said, the Mantle of Handel and Brahms had fallen on the shoulders of Dr. Parker, who was a professor at Harvard University. In England it created such a sensation that Oxford Uni versity conferred an honorary doc torate of music on its composer.

Again the critics were elated and described it as a neglected masterpiece. Seemingly this revival should have led to its permanent inclusion in our American repertoire, but this is not the case. The performance in Wake Forest marks the first per formance in this area. The work is based on an ancient poem by Bernard De Morlaix, “The Celestial Country”. The English translation was made by Isabell Parker, the composer’s mother. It was one of the most consistently beautiful oratorios ever written with each section seeming to outdo the last in sheer beauty and dra matic excitement. The Concert will be directed by Dr. Ben Johnson with H. Max Smith at the organ Soloists for the performance include: Kay Clyde, Soprano; Brenda Clark, Soprano; Ann Owens, Alto; Diane West, Alto; David Norris and Art Col lier, Tenors; Ben Johnson, Bari tone and Ken Morgan, Bass.

In the next few years, I plan to continue push ing the growth of our village with out raising taxes.” Owen Beck, who has served two terms as town commissioner, is a homeowner in Rolesville and I foreman at ITT in Raleigh. He I says, “Since I have been on the I board, I am aware of the town ! problems and if elected Mayor, I shall use this past experience in helping to solve problems as they should be or any that may occur in the future. I also am very inter- 1 ested in seeing the town grow and be a more inviting place in which to live, and will welcome any view points from the citizens in bringing this about.” Statements from those seeking seats on the board are as follows: Incumbent Coley Barham: “If re elected, I shall strive to continue serving the town as best I can and to utilize the funds we have to I the best advantage for all concern- I ed.” I Incumbent R.

I would like also to see the town do something in the way of planned recreation for its chil dren.” Newcomer A. T. Lassiter: “As a homeowner here I am interested in seeing my town grow and at tract new businesses and residents, I feel that it must be made more attractive. If elected, I would like to see a new Town Hall erected in Rolesville if funds could be made available. Money now being used as rent on the present building, could be used as payments on a building that would someday be long to the town.” Newcomer Maylon P. Cooke: “If the people of Rolesville elect me to this town post, I promise to work towards a better commu nity through an impartial and pro gressive town government.” Newcomer Jones Averette: “If the people of Rolesville elect me to the board, I shall work for bet ter street lighting, for street mark ers and house numbers as funds are made avaOable.” The increased interest was ap parent by the number filing for of fices early.
