VICTOR MARTENS, S.M.C., A.M.M, Voice Conducting A Cappella Oratorio If singing Christian music may be termed a pleasant theology course, then Mr. Martens has taught us many profound Christian truths this year. In the power of his sincere faith and trem¬ endous artistry — technical as well as interpretive — he led us into depths of Christian music which we had not known to exist. As the years heap higher, we will remember him in the inimitable words and music of Bach: Trotz dem alten Drachen, Trotz des Todes Rachen, Ich steh hier und singe: Gottes Macht haelt mich in acht.

With interesting lectures he reveals individuality, a unique sense of humour and the ability to express every thought with exactly the right word.
