The double trio did an excellent rendition of their two songs, "Bonnie Doon", (this was particularly good) and "Jesu, Joy of Man‘s Desiring". The T.M. V orchestra played gseveral numbers, among the most ¢enâ€" joyed, were the "Piano Concerto in (7% ~â€" Rigle Leskew s soloist, "The Deâ€" vil‘s Dreamm" (a square dance that set everyone‘s feet tapping) and "Pizziâ€" cato Serenade." This last was parâ€" ticuarly enjoyed as the music is novel and after it was oyer, the conductor Mr E. Bartliett pointed out that two plavers had become stranded back in the choir where they had been doublâ€" ing. as‘ tenors. Last Monday evening at 8.30 in the McIntyre Gym, the third ‘annual T.H. V.S. music concert was held. The choir and orchestra gvere seated along the wall in the middle of the Gym and the audience was packed in a semiâ€"circle around the performers. Behind the banked rows of the choir was a huge chalk mural of North American and British Imperial figâ€" ures, among whom were Uncle Sam and John Bull. This fitting backâ€"drop was done by the T.H. V.S. Art Club under the guidance of Miss R. Secâ€" combe. Alex Rose gave a very brilliant perâ€" formance in his piano solo of "The Gypsy". The Glee Club, too, gave more than their share of entertainment with three songs, "Gai Lon la, Gai Le Roâ€" sier" â€" there was an excellent sopâ€" rano solist in this, whose name was not on the program unfortunately. The Glee Club then sang "April Showers" in a manner that would have gladdened the heart of Al Jolson, had he been there. The: girls then sang "A Pérfect Day" whmh»w'ls their 18§t number. Every one in thg hall was Sorry to see them léave: the‘ stage. °/ ‘The ccmoert ended with the; massed Iroquoib Falls and Timmins. . choirs and ! the: orchest.ra played ‘Elgar‘s stitring : "SAH Men Must Be Free." After the concert, Iroquois Fall‘s High played host to .

William‘s "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was the next piece to be performed. This was very well done» especially the solo work by Elsie Lesâ€" kew, The strings carried the undulâ€" ating theme behind the soloist and muted horns and woodw!inds came in subtly. ; STARTS FRIDA Y ano sung by soprano Beverley Stiver,. Her bellâ€"like head tonmes and clear enâ€" +unciation made this solo very enjoyâ€" able to the audience. The THM. VS. Girl‘s Choir then sang the liturgical "Bless Ye The Lord". This was the most technicâ€" ally perfect choral work presented during the concert. The work was exquisitely done, the choristers hitâ€" t‘n: the‘r notes deadâ€"on and making their attacks in prefect synchronizâ€" ation and enunciating clearly. "Bless Â¥Ye The Lord" was very moving. The next little section of the proâ€" gramme was orchestral, with the playâ€" ing of Entr‘acte Music from Schubert‘s Rosamunde (this was a very interestâ€" ing rendition, with many â€" bizarre rhytlms and harmonies with the oboes and clarinets achieving many of these effects.) The second piece performed by the orchestra was strictly for strings â€" "Pizzicatto Serenade". This was enâ€" chantingly melodic and effervescent, The doubleâ€"bass passages were parâ€" ticularly well done by Jack Tyrrell. This was enjoyed very much. "‘The Volga Boat Song", a favorite in choir concerts was then sung in a slightly abbrcvia'ed ar Â¥@nogement. Here. the bass section came into its own, taking the soics and carrving the rhythm.â€" This song, as ever, was apâ€" plauded thunderously. The Girl‘s Chorus then sang two works. They gave an excellent exâ€" ample of choral work with "One Morâ€" ning in the Meadow" and their renâ€" dition of "April Showers" (in three parts}! was certainly one of the mostâ€" enjoved pleces of the programme. The next selection of the concert was taken from the delightfully nonâ€" sensical art of A. A. Milnes "Christâ€" opher Robin‘s music and writing." Buckingham Palace, was the first song of this type. It was sung by the girl‘s chorus with an orchestral accompanâ€" iment and was relieving in it‘s emâ€" otional lightness. Switching again to choral work, the programme carried on with "Shenanâ€" doah‘‘ a sea chantie which had a tenor solo in it. The soloist was Ted Spara, whose clear voice carried well and enunciation was good. After a short intetmission, the proâ€" gram was resumed and three Negro spirituals were sung by the choir. The first was the novel and light "Old Ark‘s Amoverin‘". Second was the moving "Let My People Go" telâ€" ling of the emotion of Moses towards the Israelites. Yvonne Essa sang the solo in this piece. Her dulceet, emoâ€" tional tones floating through the choir‘ humming drew a great ovation from the audience. The last spiritual was the joyous "Lil‘ David" telling of David‘s triumph over Goliath. In this piece the tenâ€" ors excelled. "Growing Up" and "Happiness" were two more songs of the Christâ€" opher Robin series< that were sung by the boy soprano, Rickie Kelly. Master Kelly gave forth with a fluid wellâ€"intonated voice, and was well reâ€" ceived by the audience who applaudâ€" ed a very long time. They liked Rickie Kelly and wanted more. All the time: they applauded. â€" Rickie, JoIlsonâ€"like stood on the stage with a The last section was by the choir. They sang "The Sow Took The Meaâ€" sles" first, but this pitce did not go over very well. Perhaps the audâ€" ience of that night was too esthete for the songs of Berl Ives. ‘You ain‘t heard nothin‘ yet‘ expresâ€" sion on his face. That, we thought,. is artistry. : Secondly was a barn dance, "Devil‘s Dream" which was well received and enjoyed, the variety being apprecâ€" iated as well as the music. The last orchestral number was a "Slavonic Dance" which, true to it‘s type of music, moved from a majesâ€" tic to a tempestuous mood and tempo. The audience appreciated this number a good deal. "The Gypsy‘‘ was the next selecâ€" tion, a piano solo by the young winâ€" ner of the senior piano competition in the last Music Festival, Alec Rose. His playing is that of a virtuoso, conâ€" idering the difficulty of the composâ€" ition and his age. His solo was brilâ€" liant. Doris _ Kurkoski, mezzoâ€"soprampo sang another A. A. Milne number then. The tender story of a little boy at his prayers, Miss Kurkoski‘s rich voice and tender exâ€" pression did more than justice to this sweet portrait in tone. The Boy‘s Chorus, hitherto unheard. provided the next three renditions. The hymn from Finlandia was sung well. but in unison for the greater part. Enjoyed more, was the chantey "Sing Mp A Chantey", a rok~ licking sailor song. This versatile group then .sa'ng "Honey, Honey" a rather humorous song featuring solo‘s by the bass and tenor sections. The verse was sung by Jacques Bourdon, bass extraorâ€" dinary of the chorus. This number was encored after the programme proper was ended. The second selection, a . cowboy melody, "Night Herdin‘" was taken more to heart by those attending. This number featured a tenor section solo and a hoofâ€"beat background by the rest of the choir. It was done very well on the whole. The next section was orchestral comprised of three works, the first a stellar renditionof the beautiful Sceotâ€" tish folkâ€"song "Afton Water". Last of the choir‘s songs was the romantic â€" and _ melodic _ "Carolina Moon". One suspects that this is the choristers favorite song, they did it so well. The program ended with the choir and orchestra rendering Elgar‘s "All Men Must Be Free". There were three erfores made, "Honey, Honey", Elgar‘s "Pomp and Circumstance March" and a novelty piece, "The Orchestra‘" which ended a varied and thoroughly enjoyed concert. Mr. E. Bartiett was the conductor choirmaster and producer of the T.H THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO such a policy. 1 do not know whelne such a philosophy ever had a place in any age, but, if it did, it certainly hasn‘t in this age." | "It is one thing to make q reason» able p:.ofit, and another thing to make an excessively high one."
