. instrumentalists. Mr. Basil Rig- ’
1 ney, director of the high school ’
band, has aided considerably, ;
' according to Mr. Mann, in help
ing to find instruments and '
advice on using the orchestra
properly. The piano accom- ’
panist for the entire, difficult
score is Mrs. Martin Goode, who j
accompanied the Emory-at- ,
Oxford Glee Club in 1951 ,
when it performed the work ■
in conjunction with the La-
Grange College Chapel Choir.
The portion of the work to
be performed consists of most
of Part I, with insertions from
Part 11. The oratorio portrays
the plight of the people of Is- |
rael during the time of a i
drought and their temptation
to pray to the local Baals for
aid. The prophet Elijah, who is
portrayed by the soloist, Mr. I
Mayton, constantly reminds
the people of their obligations
to their God Jehovah.
The final chorus is a song of
thanksgiving at the gift of rain, '
a refrain with striking use of I
dissonances and rhythmic sur- !
prises somewhat uncharacter- i
istic of Mendelssohn's music. i
which is, according to the di- ;
rector, often too bland and J
predictable. In this perform
ance, most of the recitatives
and arias, with their near ab
surd melodramatics, have been j
eliminated in preference of the
choruses which are extraordi
narily lyrical, and are good late
examples of the polyphonic art
associated with the choruses
found in the Handel oratorios.
The program will thus be rela
; tively short, and is intended to
i present the essence of Mendels
s sohn’s early Romantic elegance
i in a digestible modern form.
