White Speaks
At Holy Week
Convocation
The Rev. C. Vin White, pastor
at First Presbyterian Church, will
be the featured speaker at the
Holy Week Convocation on March
24.
Rev. White, former dean of the
Presbyterian Theological Semin
ary at Dubuque, la., received his
B.D. from Hastings, Nebr., Th. M.
from Princeton, N.J., and B.S.T.
from the Biblical Seminary in
New York City, N.Y. His subject
will be "The Cross Speaks Out."
Rev. White states, "The Cross
is at the heart of the Easter ex
perience. All talk about love is
futile until we see that it is over
shadowed by the Cross. We must
do more than look at and admire
the sacrifice and courage the
Cross called forth; we must look
beyond the horror it entailed; we
must go a step further and dis
cover what it says to us in our
lives today."

Choir, Soloists
Give Brahms'
Choral Sunday
BY GENE BERG.
Brahms' "Requiem," to be pre
sented this Sunday by the Uni
versity Singers at First Plymouth
Congregational church, is hailed
as Brahms' most important choral
work and the foundation for his
world-wide fame. When the 120
singers and soloists, soprano Dora
Lee Niedenthal and baritone Dale
Ganz, present the work at 5 p. m.,
Sunday, under the direction of
Arthur Westbrook, they will be
giving one of the world's greatest
requiems.
Critics have acclaimed the "A
German Requiem" as "touching
sublimity," and "classical in the
moving loveliness of its grief and
mourning." Albert Dietrich wrote
in his review of the first large
presentation in Bremen Cathedral
on Good Friday, April 10, 1868,
"The impression made by the
wonderful, splendidly performed
work was quite overpowering. U
immediately became clear to the
listeners that the .'German
Requiem' would live as one of the
most exalted creations of musical
art."
The "Requiem" was first given
in Vienna in 1867, and was riot
very favorably received. It was
generally agreed that not enough
time had been spent in rehearsal,
and that the orchestra and choir
did not work well together. But
after the Bremen concert it was
acclaimed a great work, and
given 21 times throughout Europe
that year. At that time, Johannes
Brahms was only 35 years old.
The text for the work is not
taken from the Latin liturgy, but
from Luther's German translation
of the Bible. Students of the
choral work point out that
Brahms knowledge of scripture
and choice of new words lent new
meaning and beauty to the
"Requiem."
The "Requiem" was written as
a memorial to Brahms' great
friend, Composer Robert Schu
mann. Two parts were added to
the original completed work upon
the death of the composer's
mother, 13 years later.
are meeting to consider this field
of professional education.
The meeting is to explore pos
sible ways in which the schools
in this region can co-operate in
the interest of education for so
cial work in this part of the
country.
