This was truly an important, if not the most historically important, special public performance of the Lindsborg Bethany College Oratorio Society of Handel's Messiah on the day before Easter, Saturday, April 17, 1976, for His Majesty Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, with Bethany College President Dr. Arvin W. Hahn presiding.
To pull it off, there could be no better conductor carrying on this great tradition, that began in 1882, than that of Dr. Elmer Copley who easily followed in the footsteps of the great Bethany College conductors of the past. Now recorded for perpetuity is a sampling of that day with Dr. Copley conducting the Oratorio Society performance of the Messiah.
Note: This is the second section of three sections on Dr. Copley. For the third section, go to the end of the page for the LINK.
This record was recorded by Delta Records and the presentation was produced in cooperation with WIBI Radio.
