Noble, organist and' master of the
choristers „of that church, will be

change programme with NBC.
This will mark the N B C's fifth
Good Friday broadcast of this work
under the direction of Dr. Noble. This
year,the soloists will be Aline Mil -

ist of Si Thomas's Church. For this
occasion, St. Thomas's choir of 60
men and bays will be augmented by
30 voices chosen from artist students
of the Juilliard School of Music in
New Yorit
Brahms's Opus 45 is not a litmg-I
ical requiem. It is a setting of var-
ious appropriate texts which the'
composer chose from the German
Bible and Apocrypha. While the`
source bears as its title "German
Requiem", Brahms was not motivat-
ed by patriotic sentiment—nor by the
death of his mother, as was once
believed. Kalheck, Brahrhs's biog-I
replier, produces convincing evidence'
that the "Deutsches Requiem" was'
"intended ars a last, great funerall
rite for Robert Schumann."
The composer began his sketches:
of this work 'in 1861. He completed
it in 1866, the year of the war with
Austria. The first three movementsl
were heard in December of that year
in Vienna. The complete work (orig-
inally of only six movements) was
given its premiere performance under
the composer's dia'ection on Good
Friday, April 10, 1868, in the Oath-
edral at Bremen. The present fifth
movement, with soprano solo; was ad-
ded during the following summer.
Tthe "Requiem" met with such im-
mediate success that it was repeated
in Bremen 18 days later.,, By the
next Good Friday, when the work
was performedn Zurich, it had been
heard in Basle, Leipzig (twice),
Hamb'arg, Oldenberg (twice), Karls-
ruhe and Munster.:
Though Brahms had written end
published much before this Opus 45,
it ' was the "Requiem" which xitst
won him wide -spread renown and his,
undisputed rank as a groat master.'
Aside from the impressive massage
of its text, the "Requiem". ,is con-
sidered one of Brahms's enthusiasts
with his, four great symphonies •—
the, first of which was not produced
until 10 years alter this ."symphony
with voices."
This "Requiem" ,has become tra-
ditionally associated with the obser i
vane of Good Friday throughout the
musical world — wherever there aie
choirs able to cope with its 'technical
and interpretative difficulties.. Dr, T. r
7'er.:tius Noble came to New York'

"KING DAVID" SYMPHONIC
PSALM BY HONEGGERR WILL
BE CBC EASTER FEATURE
A 70 -voice chorus, symphony or-
chestra and three noted Montreal
soloists, under the direction of Jean
Marie Beaudet, will be heard over
CBC's nation-wide network Easter
Sunday, April 9, 10.00 to 11.00 p.m.
EST, in a special performance of
Honegger's "King David", from the
Corporation's Montreal studios. The
assisting artists will be Eugenie Hav-
ard, contralto; Gabrielle Parrot, so-
prano, and Pierre Vidor, tenor.
"King David" originated as a
"dramatic psalm" written by the
Swiss poet, Rene Morax, for presen-
tation at the Theatre Vaudois du
Sprat in Switzerland. Arthur Honeg-
ger was approached to compose the
inedental music, which was complet-
- ed in a little more than two months,
and. scored for six woodwinds, four
bras,, piano, harmonium, celesta,
double -brass, and percussion. In this
form the wank was first performed
on June 13, 1921, with such success
that Honegger felt encouraged to
score it as an oratorio, or "symphonic
psalm", for soloists, chorus, and a
large orchestra, the dramatic element
being entrusted to a narrator.
The text is based on the Books of
Samuel and Chronicles, divided into
three parts, for which the composer
has written 28 numbers of varying
length end importance. 0f these, 14
belong to the first, two to the sec-
ond, and 12 to the third part tof the
oratorio..

m. modern celebration of Easter
Easter is celebratea h, many cur-
ious ways, depending on tradition,
established centuries ago and handed
down from generation to generation.
The bunny or rabbit, so popular, about
this time of the year among children
in many lands, had its origin in Ger-
many, where it is called the Easter
hare and where it is considered as
important a figure in nursery lore as
Jolly 015 St. Nicholas at Christmas.
time. In Germany the children play
a game with colored eggs, which con-'
lists of testing the strength of the
shells, and in some parts of the Unit-
ed States a similar game is played
known as egg -picking, in which both
colored and uncolored eggs are used.
"Egg -rolling" on the lawn of the
White House at Washington provides
a happy time for the children. During
the Easter season both in Germany
and France handball playing is in-
dulged in freely. The connection, of
this game with Easter originated in
the idea that the sun takes three
leaps in rising on Easter morning.
Some rather startling customs held
sway in the middle ages. On -Easter
morning the women were granted
special permission to strike their
husbands. However, as "all's :fair in
love and war", on Tuesday the men
were allowed to strike them back,
which though lacking in gallantry,.
presumably was satisfactory all'
'round.
Dating from apostolic times, the.
plentiful use of candles and Iamps;
was a 'pronounced feature of the
Easter vigil. Pillars of wax, with'
which night was transformed into
day, burned out to put eut darkness,
but as a sign of joy.
Another illumination associated!
with Easter, but of pagan origin, is'
the Easter fire. This had to be'
kindled from a hew fire, drawn from
-!
wood by friction. It signified the vie
-
�ed in the War. Each Good Friday,
Christian residents of Jerusalem hold
a service there.
Amid the narrow streets of Jeru-
salem in an area of thirty-five feet,
stands the Temple, grand and: solemn
and awe inspiring. The pavements at
Easter time are covered with rich
Turkish rugs, fine gilded -wrought-
iron grills surrounding the enclosures,
In the Temple fine mosaic& decorate
the walls of French twelfth century
design, their subdued arrangement
contrasting with the more brilliant -
hued stained glass windows.
Not only in London and Paris and
New York is Easter a time for fash-
ionable weddings, but in every town
and village as well. This custom. goes
as far back as the Easter bon fire
days, when young men and maidens
desiring matrimony during the com-
ing year, sang and danced three
times, or gave three leaps over the
flame. ,
The dramatic play owes its origin
to the Greek myth of Demeter and
Persephone, a poetic expression of
the two great emotions attributed to
Nature—her sorrow when the sun is
withdrawn and her joy when the
fruitful season of growth begins. The
Greeks celebrated these Spring fest-
ivals with mysterious processions of
veiled figures with torches moving
side by side in mimic search for the
lost Persephone. The modern Maypole
dances have their origin in these
same interlacing' circles of figures
holding brightly -colored ribbons.
A play especially adapted to East-
er is the Passion Play of Oberam-
mergau, held every ten years in the
spring, among the Bavarian Hills.
Since its inception, years ago, through
a vow made by one of the villagers,'
when its inhabitants had been strick-
en by a plague, it has become a play
of great importance. Thousands of
