Chosen by their vocal ability, EOC’s Blue and Gold singers brought many hours of pleasure both to campus inhabitants and the townspeople. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was presented and enjoyed tremendously during this year’s Yuletide season. Making outstanding performances for the EOC production were Dave Skeen, baritone; Sylvia Thompson, alto; Ardyce Garrett, pianist; Neil Wilson, director; Mrs. Jack Vedder, organist; Howard Anderson, tenor; and Patsy Hutchinson, soprano. The Christmas Oratorio was composed in 1734 during Bach’s period of service as organist and choir master at the St. Thomas School in Leipzig. The work is divided into six parts to be performed respectively on the first, second, and third days of the Festival of Christmas, on New Year’s Day, on the Sunday after this, and on the Festival of the Epiphony. Each of the six parts is a cantata, complete and independent of the other five sections, yet unmistakably linked with them in style and mood.
