PRESENTED TODAY
University Chorus, Soloists and
Orchestra to Give Cantata
At Convocation
Under the direction of Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond the University chorus,
soloists, and the University orchestra
will present Dante's "The New Life"
tt a convocation this morning at
11:00 o'clock in Memorial Hall.
This cantata tells in prose and
verse the story of the few meetings
between Dante and Beatrice, of her
death, and of the vision of Beatrice
which led Dante to make himself
more fit to glorify her and inspired
him to write the "Divine' Comedy."
There is nothing in musical litera
ture quite like this and the situations
are original and extraordinary. The
soprano, which is taken by Harriet
Cruise Kemmer and represents the
Divine Beatrice, Is heard chiefly in
the prologue, while the baritone, tak
en by Hermann Decker, individual
izes the poet himself.
The prologue showing love as the
conqueror of death leads us to the
first part which brings out love in
the more wildly strains as is seen in.
the glories and beauties of nature.
Then it rises and tells of the angelp
appealing to the Almighty Father tc
take Beatrice's soul.
Several Piano Numbers
The composer has made the accom
paniment very unusual and pleasinr
by having three distinct bute partp
which at times constitute the entire
accompaniment. Several numbers are
written for. the piano alone.
At the de.th of Beatrice there ir

do not play before cheering crowds
nor gain fame and publicity. They
are not even awarded sweaters or let

games. They play their games and.

outcome.
The most promising candidates go
out for football downtown and there
have been but few Varsity teams
which have not contained at least
one Ag College man. T,'iis tet year

three men received Freshman numer
als. For this reason the team does not
represent the true football strength
of the college.
