TMNS, sacred oloa, anthems

cal lntarest today, for Easter,
one of the tnort Joyous of all
religious fitlvala Is onnmmlly
rich In it musical literature.
In fact, ther In so much good mu1
writtrn, for this occasion that thre Is
hardly any reason for any belnir chosen
which Is not of tha flnest'qualltr.
om tho beginning of Christianity
music has abounded In sonsrs of tho resur
rection. Being hymns of joy theso nat
urally railed forth alt th eccleslnstlcal
pomp and ceremony of tha aariy cen
turies. Th two oldest of EaMer hymns
preserved to us were written by John of
Damascus, ona of tho early Christian
fathers of tho Ore ek church, who lived In
the eighth century and died In a. mon
astery about Tan. Tho first wis Adesta
Fldells fortflnally Greek, written 400
rears be for the Christmas hymn of tha
sama name), which has been set to music
by Sir Arthur Sullivan, and the other
known for eleven centuries as "Tha Pay
of Insurrection." Is most generally known
to tho musle of Berthold of Tours called
"Rotterdam." Those will probably bo
sung at various churches sometfmo today
In Omaha.
Wouldn't It be IntereatlnB If ona of theso
old hymns could tell of l different musi
cal settings anfl tha part It has plsyed In
many different Kastor1 services from tha
time when It was used as the proclama
tion song In the wat-h-SMrmhlles, when
"exactly on the midnight moment at tho
shout of ChrlMos KgertheV ('Christ Is
Itlsen') thousands of torches era lit.
bells and trumpets peajed, and fin Ister
centuries) salvos of cannon shook the
air." Tf It could only tell us Its history
from that time down -to the riresent day.
Or If It could tell of tha many other
hymns and forms of mualo It has met,
and passed on Its Journey down through
tha ronntleas ages when It has boon
bringing hope end Joy to the many gene
rations of mankind, who have In turn re
warded It with long life.
WILL SIXQ AT THE FONTLNELLE
TUESDAY EVENING.
Hymns when well written are of guch
a high class musically and ao expressive
religiously that one sometime wonders
why the majority of choirs do not devote
mora time to their proper Interpretation,
or why more churches do not do more to
encourage the people In good congregar
tlonaj singing.
...
Solos for Easter have coma down to us
from many different periods of time and
from many of the greatest composers.
Mary of thorn are taken from famous
masses, oratorios, and cantatas of tha
great masters, while others were written
expressly for this season and as solos.
Anthems, which are really motets In
modern style, and which play such an
Important part In the church services in
America have reached their highest de
velopment in England, and some of the
most deservedly popular ones are by
Americans. Easter baa Inspired many of
tha most Impressive of these and few
Indeed are the churches where the choir
or quartet will not have prepared at
least on or mora for tha musical part of
tha service.

CanUta which will he riven m spedai
musical sorvlces at several , of the
churches, trao their descent aa a direct
result of the Invention of recitative which
occurred about 1900. A cantata In IU
earliest form was merely a musical recita
tion of a short drama or story In verse
by ona person, without action, acoom
panled In simplest manner fcy a single
instrument Tha first change was tha
Introduction of an air repeated In dif
ferent points of tha recited, narrative
thus producing a primitive kind of. rondo.
Cantata In thla atyle was brought to
perfection by tha Italians of the seven
teenth century, principally by Carlsalml.
who was the first to adopt this form for
church purposes. Gradually more than
one voice waa added. Later there were
church cantatas which were more ex
tended. Handel wrote soma of these and
It la said that for five years, during I ft
residence In Lelpalc, Juhotin ftebastlan
Hach wrote one for each Runday and
feast dsy In the year. At the present
dsy the term csnlata l applied to choral
worka of roine dimension, which are,
to quote Grove, "either ssrrHl In nmnner
of an oratorio, but too short to be digni
fied by that title, or eucular aa a lyrle
drama or story adapted to music, hut not
Intended to be acted." ' The cantatas
which will be given in Omaha will be on
tha rJer of a ahoit oratorio, and wil,
contain solos, duets, trios and choruses,
all telling some part of the story of the
suffering of Christ and the rusurrectlon.
A gem In the way of Euster mualo, and
a work which ranks aa one of the great
est choruses which has ever been written
Is the great "Hallelujah Chorus" from the
Messiah. Its tremendous grandeur and
overpowering aubllmlty when well sung
give It a lasting bold upon the emotions
of the people and make one recall the
words of Handel, who said of It when
! wrote It. "I did think I did sea all
Heaven before me and the Great God
Himself."

Tuesday evening, has never been spoiled
by homage and applauae, but is a won
derful combination of the lovely, the
lowly and the lofty, and receives tha
slightest token of appreciation with un
affected grace. This should answer all
doubts In regard to tho reception which
follows Mme. Gadskl's concert, for every
member of tho audience will bo equally
greeted, and the greatest triumphs of
tha prima doana will be submerged In
the unaffected cordiality of Mme. Gad-

Mme, Gadskl makes tho followlpg Inter
esting statement:
"You ask me what I think of the fu
ture of opera In America? Well, In my
opinion It Is only a question of time
1 until there will ho opera everywhere, as
1 we have it In Europe. It hss to come,

beautiful volcea In your . oountry, you

The Promise of
A Better Day in Tires
Years ago in the dark days for tire users there
loomed up in that gloom this Goodyear Fortified
Tire.
Armies of motorists, in a short time, flocked to it.
It soon became the largest-selling tire in the world.
And ever since, amid all tire betterments, this tire
has held first place.
It gained in its lead, until last year we sold
1,479,883 Goodyear pleasure car tires alone.

Don't Over-Expect
When you adopt this tire as we hope you
will don't expect a magic tire. It is not
trouble-proof uot exempt from mishap and
misuse.
It won top place because countless men
proved that it averaged best. It did that be
cause in five great ways in five exclusive
features it excels every other tire.
Be content with the .best -don't expect the
impossible and you'll always be happy with

Three Reductions
In the past two years we have made three price

these extra features, cost
less than many others.
Never has any tire given
so much for the money as

complete within a month after use. -When 'your
hair commences to break off or fall out, you sel
dom blame the hair soap you used a month ago,
but It was a cause and often the only cause. When
people know as much about Shampoos and Hair

than they are In the selection of any other toilet material.
Lee's Shampoo possesses the remarkable property of not soaking
the hair fibre full of soaky suds, replacing the natural oil in the hair
with disintegrating soap left after drying. Lee's Shampoo cleans
quick of all grease, grime, dirt and dandruff and leaves the hair soft
and silky. The hair dries in half the time or less.
Try it for a month; watch all results, especially the condition of
the hair and scalp, and you will use no other.
