Show "Messiah" Will Be Staged Again "The Messiah," Handel's famous oratorio, will be presented by a combined civio and Utah" State Agricultural college chorus in the Logan LDS tabernacle December 16, as a highlight of Logan's Christmas events. Professor W. H. Manning, acting act-ing head of the college vocal music department, will direct the production, pro-duction, which will be accom- panied by the college orchestra, directed by Dr. N. W. Christiansen, Christian-sen, head of the instrumental music department. Because of the lack of adequate ade-quate seating facilities, the chorus will be limited to students, faculty fac-ulty members and townspeople who sang in the Messiah last year, and those enrolled in fall quarter chorus classes, Professor Manning said. Rehearsals will begin in the near future for the presentation. The 40-voice male- chorus at the college, which has not been active for two years, will take part in the oratorio. Tryouts for soloists are now being conducted. |
