Excerpt from book: Ill THE BACH FESTIVALS 1900-1905 IT was a happy circumstance that the organization of the Bach Choir came when it did, because time was afforded to make the first of the Bethlehem Bach Festivals an anniversary occasion. Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750. The old Bach Society, founded a hundred years after his death, in 1900 finished its half-century task of publishing a complete edition of the works of the master. On January 27, 1900, the New Bach Society was organized with headquarters at Leip- sic. This event and the significance of the year as the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Bach's death were marked by Bach festivals in Germany and in England. Bethlehem had the honor, not only of giving the "Mass in B Minor" its first complete American rendition, but, in so doing, of leading this country in the productions of Bach music that marked this anniversary. The Oratorio Society of New York followed in Aprilwith the " Mass," which was also given by The Cecilia Society of Boston in December, 1901, by the Choral Society of Philadelphia in April, 1902, and at the Cincinnati May Festival in May, 1902. THE FIRST BACH FESTIVAL, 1900 The first Bethlehem rendition of the " B Minor Mass " took place in the Moravian Church on Tuesday, March 27, 1900, the " Kyrie " and the "Gloria " at 4 P.m. and the " Credo," the "Sanc- tus," the "Benedictus," and the "Agnus Dei" at 8 P.m. Each service was announced by the playing of the Moravian Trombone Choir from the belfry of the church. There were eightysingers in the chorus, and thirty players in the amateur orchestra which furnished the accompaniment. The soloists were Miss Katherin Hilke, of New York, and Miss Lucy A. Brickenstein, of Bethlehem, sopranos; Mrs. W.L. Estes, of South Bethlehem, contralto; Mr. Nicholas Douty, of P Books, History~~General, Bethlehem-Bach-Choir~~Raymond-Walters, 999999999, The Bethlehem Bach Choir, Raymond Walters, 055935195X, BiblioBazaar, , , , , BiblioBazaar<
