The Oratorio society is com posed of both Eugene and Univer sity of Oregon singers, all of whom have given liberally of their time and effort in order to perfect the difficult choral parts. “The Requiem” is one of the most difficult oratorios to produce, according to Mr, Evans, but it is one of the most beautiful. It was written as a memmial to the soul of Manzoni, a famous musical con ductor of Italy. One Part Composed by Verdi One part of it was composed or iginally by Verdi as a part to an oratorio which was to be made up of compositions from a number of musicians. The experiment, how ever, never worked, and Verdi used this as a nucleus for the “Requiem.” \ Mr. Evans is in charge of the ticket sale, and all seats are reserv ed for both nights. The perform ance starts promptly at eight o’clock. Practically all the seats are sold for Tuesday night already.
