Brahm's "Re- quiem" by the men's and boys' choir of St. Thomas's Church in New York, and the INC Symphony Orchestra Under the direction of Dr. T. Tertius Noble, organist and master of the choristers of that church, will be !broadcas't over CBC's . nation-wide network 'Good Friday, gi to 3 p.m. as a special international exchange pro- gramme with NBC. This will stark the :NIBC's fifth ''Good Friday broadcast of this work under the direction of Dr, 'Noble. This year, the soloists will be Alma Mils.tead, opera, concert and radio soprano, and Arthur Kent, baritone soloist of St. Thomas's Church. , Brahm's 'Opus 415 is not a liturgical requiem. It tis a setting of various ate- eeropriate texts which the composer chose 'from the German Bible and Apocrypha. While the source bears as its title "German R'eq•ttiem," Brahms was not motivated by pat- 'riotic sentiment—nor by the death of his mother, .as was once believed. Kalbeck, Brabnts's biographer, pro- duces convincing evidence tlhat the "Deutsches Requiem" was "intended as a last, great funeral rite for Rob- ert Schumann," ' The composer began his sketches of this work in .11861,' He completed it in 'll806, the year of the war with Austria, The .first three movements were heard in December of that year in Vienna. The complete work ,(orig- inally consisting of only six move- nient6) was given its premiere per- formance under the composer's direc- tion on Good Friday, April 10, 18u8, in the Cathedral at Bremen, The pres- ent fifth movement, with soprano solo, Was added during the following summer. The "Requiem" met with such im- mediate success that it was repeated in 'Brennen 1'8 clays later. By the next Good Friday, when the work was performed at Zurich, it had been heard in Basle, Leipzig (twiccl Hamburg, Oldenburg (twice), Karls- ruhe and Munster, This "Requiem" has become :men- tionaily associated with the observ- ance of Good Friday throughout the musical world—wherever there are choirs able to cope with its technical and interpretative difficulties. Dr, T. Tertius Noble came to New 'i crit from England, where he had been organist at Cambridge University, Ely Cathedral and York Minister. He has been in charge of the music at St. Thomas's Protestant Episcopal Church in Nc•w fork for 30 years. Excerpts from Faure's "Requiem" will be presented over the national PAGE THREE network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Good Friday, April 7, 110 to 10.415e pen, from the Montreal studios, under the direction of Jean Marie Beaudet, An orchestra of 60 men, conduoted by Mr. B•eaudet, and a choir of 40 voices, directed 'by Vic- tor Brault, will he heard, assisted 'by Gabrielle Parrot, soprano, and Albert lViau, baritone. The 'broadcast, ,pres- ented before a large audience, will originate in Plateau Hall, Montreal. Although Gabriel Faure died in 1905 at the age of eighty, 'having :earned the reptitation of being one of the greatest and most respected musicians in France, he seems to have then im- pressed only his own countrymen with his genius, That he ,possessed genius of a very high order is obvi- ous to all who know his innumerable compositions. A 70 -voice chorus, symphony orch- estra and three noted Montreal solo- ists, under the direction of 'Jean Maxie Beaudet, will be heard over CBC's nation-wide network Easter Sunday. April 9th, 10 to 1111 p.m, in a special. performance of Honegger's "King David," from the Corporation's 1lon- .treal studios. "King David" origin- ated as a "dramatic psalm" written by the Swiss poet, Rene Morax, for presentation in Switzerland, :\rehnr Honegger was approached to com- pare the incidental music, which was completed in a little more. than , a•o months, and scored for six wood- winds, four brass, piano, harmonium. celesta, double -bass and percussion. In this form the work was performed in 1921, with such success that lion- egger felt encouraged to score 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. ST. PATRICK'S SOCIAL (Contributed) eith an' it's plazed the Leif,.

The harp, which is their na- tional instrument .of Music, stands. 64 inches in height, is 33 itches wide, has 43 strings (the longest of which is 57 inches), and weighs 53 pounds. Tara was the ancient stronghold of Ireland. There the great Fels, or an- cient Parliament, was held triennially. by the chief monarch of Ireland. The last Fels was held in 560. 1n that year it was cursed by St, Ruadhan of Lorrha, and never more was the harp heard in Tara's halls.
