Sunday The Requiem Mass which the Hanover Choral Club will present in St. Mark's Lutheran church on Sunday, May 21, was inspired by the passing of Gabriel father, and is an expression of a deeply sincere and moving grief, yet the grief of a man who can accept death and its terrors in a wise and confident tranquility. This is not a dramatic work as is The Requiem of Verdi; the prevailing note is one of confidence. Dynamically the music is scaled rather low throughout its duration. There is nothing to startle or to come between us and the massage of the timelessly beautiful text.

The work is divided into seven separate numbers opening with the Introit and Kyrie: to them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon Next follows the Offertory, which opens with a canon for alto and tenor, the voices weaving in apd, out to the words: Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of the This number includes a bass solo, followed by the full chorus, ending in an ex- (Continued On Page Five) On Page Four) OBITUARIES MARY ELLA FORNEY Miss Mary Ella Forney, aged 83 years, died thus morning at 3 o'clock at home of her sister, Mrs. Laura Dubbs, 419 Baltimore street.
