Messiah Covers all Phases of the Life of Christ

The concertina will consist of Morag Nothey, a
Douglas College student, on cello; Fraser Smith
from Richmond on double bass; Lydia Wagner,

a former Douglas College student, on harpsichord;
and Ulo Valdma, with the Douglas College
Conservatory of Music, on the organ.

In historical terms, an interesting part of
Messiah is the fact that Handel's librettist, the
theologian Charles Jennens did not write the
story as a complete narrative. Instead, this
masterpiece covers all phases of the life of
Christ from his birth, to the suffering and his
death, and the resurrection.

And since King George stood during the singing
of the "Hallelujah" chorus during one of the
earliest performances of Messiah, it has been
customary for all members of the audience to
rise for this portion of the work.

The Douglas College Chorale Society's presenta-
tion of this most famous of Christmas
traditionals will take place Saturday and Sunday,
December 7 and 8 at 7:30 P.M. at the Douglas
College Performing Arts Theatre, fourth floor.

Admission for either of these concerts is $8
regular, or $5 for students and seniors. Tickets
are available at the English & Music Office,
Room #3308.
