33HE choice of a work for the Harrisburg (Pa.) Choral Society's next season is made doubly hard by the brilliant success of the Verdi "Requiem." While some of the older classical works not yet sung by the society have sufficient merit in a musical way they do not present strong dramatic possibilities. Edward Elgar's "Dream of Geronitus," both musically and dramatically, presents very strong claims, but there are objections which might be raised against it on account of its text. It is a modern work, has been received very favorably in England, has been sung by the Apollo Club, of Chicago, and in New York.
