THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1908. IE MESSIAH JUNE H-I8 Oratorio Will Be Presented at Odd Fellows Hall By Coos Bay Talent. The date for the grand concert at which Handel's Oratorio of "The Messiah" Is to be presented, has been Bet for June 17th and ISth. The Odd Fellows hall will bo decorated for the occasion, and a number of boxes will be provided. The people of Coos Bay are extre mely fortunate In having the oppor tunity of hearing a great musical composition of this character, a pro duction of such magnitude and dif ficulty as to render Its presentation in any but large cities and centers of musical culture very infrequent. Much Interest attaches to this event from the fact that, among the local singers several excellent voices for oratorio work have beei discover ed, and having been coached by the director, Professor Elmer A. Todd, will bo heard in solo parts. Both Marshflcld and North Bend will be represented among the soloists. Besides the local talent, Miss Ma bel Mlllls, a fine contralto of wide musical culture and reputation, who has been studying In the Cornell University School of Music, will be heard. Mendelssohn's Concerto In G Minor, In three movements the lar gest form of composition for the piano will be given by Mrs. William Horsfall. The orchestral parts for the concerto have been arranged for the organ and will bo played by Professor Todd. One number upon the program which is expected to be especially pleasing will bo the song "Coos Bay," the words by Attorney Francis H. Clarke and the music by Professor Elmer A. Todd, which will bo sung by the chorus of fifty voices as the final number. It Is predicted by those who have heard It, that this song will bo a big popular success. Beautiful souvenir programs, printed In three colors on cardboard covers, have been prepared, in which will appear the full libretto of all the sclos and choruses to be sung, the names of the soloists and of the mem bers of the chorus, and the words and music of the "Coos Bay Song." Tickets are now on sale by stud ents of the Marshfleld High School, and at the Lockhart-Parsons Phar macy, where seat reservations can bo made after 10 o'clock in the forenoon of Thursday, Juno 11th. The proceeds of the concert are for the Public Library fund. MARGARET ILES AND COMPANY MAKE HIT. Repertoiro Company Makes Good Impression on Audience at the Masonic Opera House.
