Musical Union, a choral group conducted by Robert Fountain that included singers from both the town and the college, meets weekly in Oberlin's Finney Chapel to rehearse Handel's "Messiah" (Oberlin College, fall 1963)
Fountain, professor of choral music at Oberlin and nationally prominent, was an inspiring and much-loved director.
Fountain's intensity and passion were part of every rehearsal and resulted in great performances.
