?TI13 famous Bach Choir, of Bctblc
i " hem, which gave the most sneccss-
I'ftil festival In Its history last, ueck,
U the outcome of an Ideal, and like
Lfcost Ideals which are translated Into
practical form It has had a success
TSrhleb far surpasses the original con
ception. It is needless to say that Wis
Heal originated with the man who at
toe. Start, almost unaiaea, organized mis
,ybndirfiil choir, Dr. J. Fred Wolte.
,ilnco ins stuaeni nays iocior iyouc
'has been an ndmlre and n lover of
Sebastian Bach, and he had an un
usual opportunity to study his works
at Hie tlmo when he was n pupil of
1,'lthclnbcrger. It was here that he laid
I the, foundation for that further study
t'tjl the great master which has made
him today tno foremost nacn expert
EL,tho United States, If not In the
-worl.ir
.?' t. ,
"' JJUt it is not nionc Because ne Knows
,ili that has enabled him to make
ith Bach Choir what It is today.
doctor Wollo has the further faculty,
ifiif' Touchsafcd to an great musical
'students, of imparting his own love and
enthusiasm to the members or. tno
fphpt-, and this element Is what has
.given the choir its marvelous uuueran.
Of course, the choir has a great nacn
fentbusln'st nnd student to guldo them
nlo the intricacies of his complex
rfuslp. but without the enthusiasm and
ui'llmrnpss to attend innumerable ro-
lhnars.als on the nart of the members
of., 'the singing body even this knowl
IWrt, comprehensive as it is, would go
for. little.
A
I.TJUT this is by no mcanB nu umi
iXj Doctor Woile has imparted to the
I chpir. He has given them nnothcr thing
which Is almost as important in the ulti-
-iruYte result, and that is the deep re-
Higlqus feeling with which the works ot
tthc great master must oe lruerpreiru.
trfBach is essentially a composer of rc-
ligious music, and his finest cfforlH
jhavc.bccn almost all along that line, mis
turned' rnnrKKPntn the ecclesiastical Spirit
rfi6ton1y of his own day but of all time,
lA9 does that of no otner master. iu
US ureauui ana iorm ji is iuu uis i" "
denominational, as was not tho case
riih the snored music of even Beethoven
I p.rt'6 Mozart.
.' The music of Bach Is sacred music
Lfif the highest type, and it cannot be
.jjlvcn to its best advantage wiinout mt
stmosnhcre which a performance in a
church gives, and still less, unless the
singers enter thoroughly into the deeply
.religious spirit in which the music was
t composed. It is this element with
'which Doctor Woile uas lmDueu ms
re'reat choir, and this sincerity plays no
mall part in the, at times, overpower
ing effects that the choir produces.
- This is one of the principal features
'of the annual Bach festivals at Beilile-
'hem. The spirit of the entire garnering
a tho whole occasion is primarily re
ligious, as it must be to interpret Bach
at his best, it is o '" " ii
f, v,ell as in the perfection of per-
'forniance.

I;rHAT Doctor Woile nos done lor tnc
W music of Sebastian Bach is probably
'nof equaled by any other musician in
. j .
this country, Not only did he glre the
first American hearing bf the B minor
Mass, but the first American perform
ances as well of tho St. John Passion,
the Christmas oratorio and a large
number of the cantatas.
In passing It may bo mentioned that
Bach composed more than 300 of these
cantatas, Yhcre being five sets, of them
for every Sunday and holy day In the
year, besides many single ones and
others written fpr special occasions.
About 200 of theso are still extant, the
others having been lost In ono way or
nnothcr.
These losses arc due to the fact that
Bach wos not appreciated for many
years after his death, and It wos not
unil 100 years after the composition
of the St. Matthew Tasslon that It hod
its flrst adequate, if not actually Its
first, performance In Gcrmnny, under
Mendelssohn, who did more than any
other one man to place Bach's music
where its merits entitled It to rank. In
tho same way two of the five settings of
the Fnssion have been lot, nnd the
greatest of them all, that according to
St. Mntthcw, had an exceedingly' nar
row csenpe.
TIIE story of the rescue, of the St.
Matthew Passion music Is an Inter
esting one. Zelter, the teacher of Men
delssohn, was out walking In Berlin
ono day, when he noticed an auction
sale at the house of a retired cheese-

Choir by Doctor Woile Is lnrgtly a
labor of love. Ills enthusiasm for the
music of the great master led him not
only to establish the SJotblehem Choir,
but also during his years of residence
In tho "West to establish the California
Bach Choir, with which he gave two
festivals and introduced the music of
the great L-clpsIc Cuntor to that sec
tion of the country. Such work is
bound to bear fruit there as It has in
Pennsylvania, and that is the chief nm
bltlon of Doctor Woile to. lead musi
cally inclined persons to know nnd nd
mlre the music of Bach.
A S TO the music Itself, the chief fca-
ture of it to the musician Is its
Intense modernity There nrc disson
ances It, especially In the vocal parts,
which are as daring ns those even of
Debussy or Ilavel, but with this im
portant difference, they nrc Invnriably
logical. The hearer never feels for n
moment that they are introduced simply
for the purpose of producing nn efTcct.
Always they fit in perfectly with the
emotional feeling which the words pro
duce at that particular point. The
compositions arc almost nlwns strictly
contrapuntal, but the counterpoint Is
never in cWdence to the detriment of
the musical qunllty of the works.
While It cannot be denied that many
of the instrumental compositions of
Bnch now sound somewhat archaic, this
Is not the cose with the vocal works,
w hlch sound ns fresh nnd new as though
tney were composed within the last de
monger who had acquired wealth shortly catie and this is especially true of those
in tue larger forms. In the smaller
works, such as the cantntnn. nnrh wn
restricted by the length of the service
(they all take about twenty minutes to
render) and, by reason of the nature
of the service they ore all somewhat
along the same general lines. But In
tho large works, like the passion music,
the moss, et cetera, he hnd no limitations
except those of his own illimitable
genius. Here he is at his best, and as
n composer of sacred music, both In,
uuumy unu quantity, nc nas never been
equaled.
Doctor Woile has made probably the
most profound and exhaustive study of
tho works of Sebastian Bach of any
mnn in this country. He has studied
the tradition of the great composer as
well ns the actual music, he has given
unlimited time nnd labor to the accom
plishment of his ideal and, as said before,
it has doubtless surpassed in achieve
ment his fondest hopes of n quarter of
a century ago. To paraphrase a Mos
lem religious saying and a Oerman
musical one, "There Is but one Bach
and Woile Is his prophet."
before his death
Out of sheer curiosity, Zelter entered
the house and. seeing some music manu
script sticking out of n package ap
parently of waste paper and other odds
and ends, bid for the package and se
cured It. He took it home nnd opened
it, when the music manuscript proved
to be the score of the St. Matthew Pas
sion complete, in Bach's own writing.
Zelter was later pursuaded to give
the score to Mendelssohn as a Christ
mas present nnd Mendelssohn was thus
'the first to know its great beauty. He
give it in Germany in 1820, just about
one century after it had been composed.
So far as is known, this was tho first
adequate rendition of the mighty work
that had ever been given. The origi
nal manuscript is still in possession of
tho Mendelssohn family, which inci
dentally has innumerable scores of the
great masters, including most of the
later Beethoven quartets nnd some of
the symphonies.
Stories Tike this, of which there are
many and well authenticated, show how
lhtle Bach was understood by the mu
sicians of his own time nnd those who
came immediately after him. Within
forty years his name had become a
mere tradition and it was not until
Mendelssohn took the lead that he began
to be appreciated.
BUT to return to the Bethlehem Choir.
In his wildest dreams Bach prob
ably never thought of such a perform
ance of his works as is now given an
nually in the Lehigh valley. The sire
of the chorus for which Bach wrote
his cantatas in Leipsic was twelve
voices, and these were supplemented by
a body of about eighteen instrumental
ists. What would he have thought
could he have heard his works, inter
preted last week by a fine orchestra of
nbout beventy skilled instrumentalists
and sung by a chorus of more than
200, trained to the acme of perfection,
the whole conducted by one of the most
loving, conscientious and faithful of
his followers?

time devoted to tho work of the Bach

$3000, contributed by the young women
for the work.
Mrs. Joseph M. (,a77nm, who has
been chairman of the dances, started
them two years ago and esmblished a
precedent by throwing open her own
drawing room. Later she transferred
the dances to the Woman Suffrage
party.

the work by giving the use of the Ship
nnd Tent Club. Colonel Duffy helped
by giving the use of the Ilittenhouse,
nnd the Aldlnc Hotel management gave
