There are separate audiences, of widely differing taste
38、s and musical receptivity, for opera, symphony and chamber music. The oratorio audience is a very special group made up of the most conservative tastes and opinions. One suspects that it is recruited largely from friends and families of the singers. Now a stage full of happy and earnest oratorio sin
39、gers must represent considerable potential ticket sales, and, if this is true, it does not malt much difference what work the singers select to perform. Anyone who has ever sung in a chorus knows what fun it is to sing Handel. The music is easy to grasp, fits the voice well, and fine effects are ach
40、ieved with a minimum of professional skill. The plan of the Handel oratorio is ideal for the ordinary amateur singing group.

45、 has dismissed as “trumped-up nonsense“ an attack by Donald Trump on Scottish wind energy projects. But the Scottish government has declined to respond directly to the billionaires stinging criticism of Alex Salmonds plans for renewable energy.When asked in an interview on Thursday night about Trump
46、s comments, Salmond replied only with a prediction that once renewable energy created a large number of jobs in Scotland, “just about everybody will get on board, even Donald Trump“.Trump is opposed to plans for an offshore windfarm near the site of his luxury golf resort in Aberdeenshire.
