September 7 1928 West Vancouver Choral Society As Convenei of the Musical Committee I have been asked by oui President, Nr. B. R. Harri- son, to give some information as to the activities of the Choir 'uringthe ensuing season. It is sometimes not realised the beneficial effeet on the people of beautiful scenery, at- tractive surroundings, and cul- tivation of the arts, particularly music, and the members of the Choral Society fully realising the benefits to be derived from good music, are of the opinion that the time has now arrived when our efforts should be in the study of the choral works of a more ambitious nature. It was accordingly decided by the AIus- ical Committee, and supportecl by the Executive that the major ~ works for study during the wint- er should be Verdi's "Stabat Mater," and Coleridge Taylor's "A Tale of Old Japan." It is the intention that "Stabat Mater" should be given at Christmas time instead of the "Messiah" which has been so -'ftengiven by the Society. The work is very beautiful and deep- ly religious, and was written by Verdi before he left for Milan at the age of eighteen. AVhile Verdi was by nature, inclination and education, an operatic composer, his "Stabat Mater" reflects his deeply religious training from the early age of seven ye" l's~~when he used to help in the vil- lage church as an acolyte. It 4$ 'Ihas been said of him at this per- '&r iod that the music he heard used to take his attention so much that he forgot his duties. A J'etv years later he be".arne the village organist, which position he re- tained until leaving for Milan. It was during this period that the "Stabat Mater" was composed. Verdi, however, obtained his world-wide fame for the com- . position of his opera "Rigoletto" "Il Trovatore" "La Traviata'Aida" and his famous Requiem Mass, written in memory of the great Italian poet Manzoni. Verdi became the most popular man in Italy and when he died at the old age of 88, the whole of Italy mourned for him. "A Tale of Old Japan." It is felt that particular pleasure will be derived from the study of"A Tale of Old Japan," the story being a mythological Eastern I story of Japan and rich in imag- ination. All those who have had the pleasure of singing Coleridge Taylor's works, such as "Kubla- khan," "Hiawatha's AVedding Feast," "Death of 5Iinneahaha," and "Hiawatha's Departure," will realise that he was a master in handling strongly individual themes, a great feature being made of the use of vocal and orchestral coloring. The work of "A Tale of Old Japan" is typical of these char- acteristics of Coleridge Taylor, and it should be realised that it will tax the ability of the choir and will require careful study and intensive rehearsal. Knowing the qualifications and interpretive ability of our co»ductor, ~iIr. J. M. Morgan, the Choral Society can feel assured of a most interesting season' work. These works, I under~ stand, have never before been given in Greater Vancouver, and it is felt that these productions will be well worthy of the high standard of work given by the Choral Society at the Festivals. It is also a great pleasure to the Musical Commttee and the Executive to intimate that our accomplished accompanist, Miss Margaret AIacIntyre, has very kindly agreed to write an adap- tation of the orchestral accomp- animent, as well as having und- ertaken the formation of a speci- al orchestra to accompany Cole- ridge Taylor's "A Tale of Old Japan."
