Festival Singers perform classic
With over 60 voices the Blyth
Festival Singers will perform
selections from the Christmas
masterpiece, Handel's Messiah on
Sunday, Dec. 1 in Goderich at
Knox Presbyterian Church
George Fredrick Handel, in 1741,
was commissioned to compose a
sacred piece from Dublin, to aid
The Society for Relieving
Prisoners.
Handel set to work and found
himself in the midst of a miracle. In
just three weeks, the Messiah was
finished. Always a fast worker,
Handel found inspiration as never
before in the collection of biblical
texts provided him as a libretto. He
wrote the Hallelujah Chorus in
tears, surrounded by a vision of
heavenly hosts so real it frightened
him.
Throughout the Eastern world for
the last century, Handel's
inspiration has provided the surest

accompaniment to the Christmas
season.
The classic work will be
conducted by Wade Whittaker,
with a special accompaniment by
the renowned organist Ian Sadler of
Stratford.
Soloists will include soprano,
Catherine Sadler of Stratford; alto,
Bryanna Beale of Stratford and
tenor, John de Jagara of Goderich.
Along with the Messiah, the
Blyth Festival Singers will perform
several other Christmas numbers.
Concerts will be held at 2:30 and
7:30 p.m. Home-baked Christmas
cookies and refreshments will be
served at receptions following the

While enjoying balmy 70 degree
weather in the Bahamas, native-
Canadian Frank Mills is busy
preparing for his winter trip to
Canada. The arrival date is Nov. 24
in Blyth.
Sound unusual? Not for Mills,
who makes the trip north each
spring and winter to tour 30 or so
Canadian cities, entertaining fans
with his world-renowned piano
melodies.
For the residents of Blyth, Mills
stop at the Blyth Festival Theatre
for a "Celebration of Christmas",
has almost becoming a tradition as
the Blyth United Church choir adds
a local touch to the Christmas tunes
and old favourites.
"I have been doing (these tours)
for about nine years now and it is a
fun thing," said Mills. "I quite like
coming to Blyth. The people are
warm and genuine."
Performing with the Blyth choir
is a lot of fun, a "cosy" experience
said Mills. "They are an excellent
choir and they know what the show
is about. Doing the traditional
(Christmas) tunes adds another
