ANY things happened to Handel's “Messiah,” as given last night at the Cen- tral High School audittorium by the Washington Choir, under the tutelage of Kurt Hetzel.

However, ‘with the able ance of Jotte Klein at the organ, who, Kert Hetsel, inciden tally, played her “Pastoral Symphony” with great reverence, there were moments scat- tered hire and there through the performance that were commend- able, if not distinguished. The s pranos and the contraltos did well with their stretches of m-lody and would have done more so if the score becn more familiar and they could have kept themselves from browsing so continually within its folds. And Mr. Hetzel tried valiantly to sus- tain the tempo, the crescendos and the minucndos, and accomplished much by them in the lighter moments, ©_There was never, however, in the first_half, at any rate, any of the great “emotion” that ‘one likes to associate with the “Messiah,” and Jettlek Melodies Every, Jettick Song!
