MRS. P. V. M. RAYMOND.
Tha choir of the First Congregational
Church.
In the year 1SSG what was then the
new pipe organ of the Congregational
church was opened with som? ceremony
in an organ recital given by W. T Tabor
of Boston and Omaha, and by its pres
ent organist Mrs. P. V. M. Raymond.
Mrs. Raymond has since that t me oc
cupied the position of organist and choir
director at this church with the excep
tion of the year January 1, 1893 to Jan
uary, 1894. At that time she filled the
same position in St. Paul's M. E. church
in this city, directing a chorus choir.
Previour to 1893 the choir of the Con
gregational church consisted of a quar
tet of soloists, except for a short time
when chorus and BoloiBts were employed.
At the time of the opening of the new
organ Mrs. Raymond was assist9d, in
addition to Pi of. Tabor, by Mrs. A. W.
Jansen, and Mrs. J. P. Dorr, and by
Messrs. S. H. Burnham and J. P. Wil
liams, all singers well known to Lincoln;
besides the regular quartet choir of the
chuich, which at that time consistsd of
Misses Peck aod DeWitt and Barnaby
and Eddy.
During the years between March 1886
and July 1, 1892, the following soloists
were employed in the quartet of tbe
choir:
Sopranos Miss Ltllian Pe:k, Mrs. J.
P. Dorr, Mrs. C. S. Lippincott, Mrs.
Adolph Weber, Mrs. J. G. Wadsworth,
Mrs. A. W. Jansen.
Contraltos Miss Bertha DeWitt, Mrs.
J. P. Dorr, Miss Carol Churchill, Mrs.
A. S. Raymond, Mrs. Albert Watkins.
Tenors E. H. Eddy, H. M. Leavitt,
Oscar Easterday, Joseph Wurzburg.
"Basses J. B. Barnaby, M. Haraaer.
The soloists from January 1, 1894, to
the present time are as follows:
Sopranos Miss Clara Anderson, Miss
Estelle Spanog'e, Miss Florence Woriey,
Mrs.'R. A. Holyoke.
Alto Miss Hatt'e Becker.
Tenors Mr. Jcseph Wurzburg, (fre
quently on special occasions.) Mr. Jucr
gen Albers.
Basse3 J. B. Barnaby, C. B. Smith.
Mr. B. S. Lanworthy and C. F. Tucker
have assisted during past year.
It will be noted that Miss Hattie
Becker has for some time filled the po
sition of contralto soloist, her pleasir g
vo!ce and unaffected manner giving sat
isfaction to tho congregation of thh
church as well a3 to those who have
"heard occasional public performances of
the choir. The chorus of this choir, organ
ized upon Mrs. Raymonds return to tho
position of organist in 1894, deserves an
especial word of mention. Without their
loyalty and faithful attendance at ardu
ous rehearsals no performance would
have been possible of the numerdus
works of dignified character which have
bjeh given in a public or semi-public
manner In the past few years. Among
the works, choral and for solo voices,
which have been given I may mention
the following:
'The Last Judgment" of Louis Spohr,
"The Crucifixion" of Stainer, "The Mes
siah" of Handel, "The Coming of the
King" by Dudley Buck, besides numer
ous song services devoted to the work of
great composers. The personnel of this
choir at present is as follows.
