Haydn's Masterpiece
Presented at 3 Sunday
Haydn's "The Creation, to be
presented Sunday at 3 p.m. in the
Coliseum by the University Chor
al Union, was in the composer's
estimation, his masterpiece. Cri
tics have named it one of Haydn's
chief claims to fame.
Soloists for the annual spring
oratorio presentation will be Mrs.
James Ganz, Robert Anderson,
and Franklin Garger.
The critic-author Oscar Thomp
son says in the International Cy
clopedia of Music and Musicians,
"Magnificent is the fullness and
freshness of the inspiration" in
"The Creation." Champlin holds,
in the Cyclopedia of Music and
Musicians, that "The Creation"
is Haydn's finest oratorio, equal
led only by "The Seasons,"
First Performance
The work was first performed
on April 29 and 30, 1798, in pri
vate. The first public performance
was held on March 19. 1799, .at
the National Theatre in Vienna.
By 1800 it was given everywhere,
and choral groups were formed
only for the purpose of giving it.
It's popularity was second only to
"The Messiah" throughout Eur
ope. Haydn conducted the work him
self until 1S04, when he declined
due to weakness. He was 72 years
old by that time.
Haydn composed the "Creation"
at a small country home near Vi

Art Festival
Lures 1,100
Prepsters
About 1,000 high school young-
Isters from all parts of the state
'converged on the University cam
pus Friday for Ae annual two
day Fine Arts Festival.
The festival is not a contest,
according to Dr. A. E. Westbrook,
head of the university's fine arts
school, but a critique in which
the performances of students are
evaluated by university fine art
faculty members.
Students are enrolled fn three
major sections speech, music and
art. About 500 students are en
rolled in ten speech categories:
one-act plays, debate, discussion,
dramatic and humorous reading,
interpretative and original ora
tory, extemporaneous speaking,
radio news casting and poetry
reading.
The 500 students enrolled In
music will be judged in seven
categories: boys' vocal solos, girls
vocal solos, vocal ensemble, piano
solos, brass solos and ensemble,
strings and percussion and wood
wind solos and ensembles.
One hundred students are en
tered in six categories of art:
drawing (pencil, pen, ink and
charcoal); Painting (watr, color
and tempera); Design (flat or
t h r e e-dmnensional) ; Sculpture
(clay, soap, wood, stone, wire,
paper and plastics); Crafts (scrap
materials and media); Photogra
phy (advertising design, poster
work and lettering).
enna. It was suggested to him
by a poem compiled by Lidley
from Milton's "Paradise Lost."
Freicherr van Swieten, Haydn's
friend, translated the poem, and
the composer set to work to create
an oratorio. .
Finishfd in 2 Years
"Never was I so pious as when
composing 'The Creation,' said
Haydn. "I knelt down every day
and prayed God to strengthen me
for my work." He finished it in
two years and lived to enjoy the
popularity and financial success
of the composition.
The last appearance of the com
poser was marked by the presen
tation of "The Creation." In 1809.
he was wheeled to the University
of Vienna in a wheel-chair, and
heard a grand orchestra play, his
most cherished work.
"The Creation" was one of five
oratorios written by the "Father
of the Symphony." Haydn looked
on his genius as a gift from above,
for which he was bound to be
thankful. He was a devout Chris
tian, and strict to his religious
duties.
Haydn's time-honored work will
be given by the 700-voice Choral
Union, under the direction of Prof.
David Foltz. The 75-piece Sym
phony Orchestra will accompany.
in addition to the organ and piano
of Prof. Myron Roberts and Ear
nest Harrison, respectively.
Norbejt Tiemann was elected
next year's president of Kosmet
Klub at a meeting Thursday. The
group also chose Warren How

The leading KK worker of the
