Broad street north of Olrard avenue, drew
n very large audience to tha Temple last
night.
Clarence Reynolds, known as the organ
ist of the "Storm" a few years ago and
also for his organ polos at Ocean Grove,
was conductor by virtue of his office of
musical director of the Baptist Temple.
The choruses- which are an essential part
of the oratorio form and which In llandeVs
specimen are massively and melodiously
effective, as well as many, were sung by
the Kestlvai Chorus. The soloists Included
two not familiar here from earlier nppear
ances Aim MaeMahon, soprano, ami
Marie Morrlsey, contralto, and those two
veterans of choral concerts, Dan Ueddoe,
tenor, and rt-ederlc Martin, basso. The
accompaniments were by n selected band
of Philadelphia Orchestra men whose work
was supplemented by the great organ of
Doctor Conwell'a church.
There Is little to ray at this lain dale
concerning the tnusle of thn "lle-nlah."
which has outlasted ths transient successes
of more than a century and n half. It may
be simple and natte. and certainly Is not
redundant In novel turns of musical ex
pression or musical thought, but It wears
wonderfully well. Its sincere religious ap
peal cannot be successfully denied.
The chorus eeemed to have a preponder
ance of female voices, though domination
by tho trebles waa obvious In only a couple
of passages. The volume of sound waa
ample even for the magnitude of the "Hal
lelujah Chorus." the attack was good and
there was a fitting sense of light and shade.
Miss Morrlsey was try noble tn Interpre
tation of the great airs "He Was Despised
and Itejected or Men" and "He Shall feed
His Flock," and her full, freely produced
tones were a Joy throughout. Possibly the
favored aria among ths many favorites Is
"I Know That My Redeemer t.lvelh," and
this Mlaa MaeMahon gave reverentially,
with no trace of the concert platform about
her rendition. Her voice seems peculiarly
fitted to oratorio. "Why Do tho Nations"
has been sung many times In this city by
Mr. Martin, but never In present memory
with such robustness and earnestness. Mr.
Beddoe set a. fine pace In the very begin
ning In "Comfort Ye My People" and gained
new laurels In "Thy llebuko Hath Broken
His Heart." W. It. M.
