"MESSIAH" POPULAR
During the past season of choral music in England there was a vast number of works, ancient and modern, English and Continental. An outstanding feature noted by a writer in the "Musical Times" was that Handel's "Messiah" was scheduled to be performed no fewer than thirty-eight times. The next were Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha," 15 times, Brahms's "Requiem" 12, Mendelssohn's "Elijah" and Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" 10. This is a wonderful tribute to the hold Handel still-has-on the.English^jjeople.
