Coming from stock, known in Thuring-Tan musical circles during 150, years before his birth, J. S. Bach was the first great evolutionary composer of the family. Serious, systematic, rigid in form, and strictly classical in his compositions, with a profound religious faith. Bach was the greatest master who ever wrote polyphonic music. Although his age was a somewhat mechanical one, we find in Bach a great master of deep expression, often touching the romantic.

Handel, on the other hand, was a very gay type of man, with great spontaneity; a cosmopolitan gentleman who enjoyed life and did not take it too seriously at least not until later in life when he too turned to writing a more religious type of music.

Great artist, though he was Handel's music does not possess the same intensity as does Bach's; on the other hand it has more universal colorful appeal.

To compare the work of the two artists most adequately, the student must hea them played on the organ. An opportunity to do this is given in Appleton Chapel at 10 o'clock this morning when "Organ Compositions by Rach and, Handel," will be played by Mr. Clair Leonard.

Lectures of interest being given this morning are.
