Overture-"william Tell ..... ... kossini
Transcribed by Buck
Mr.. Colweli.
Miss Luther and Ars. Gill.
The above numbers were rendered, except
the seventh and tenth. In place Of the
seventh Mrs. Gill sang The Kingdom
Called Home" and in that of the tenth
Miss Luther repeated Dearest Heart.
Farewell" which she had been
earnestly urged to do by persistant encore
after singing IL in the eighth number. The
occasion for the change was the fact that
the score had been accidentally left in a
hack and could not be obtained.
Prof. Colwell, in all his selections, showed
in unusual degree, his remarkable skill in
registration and in the production of orches-
trail effects. Particularly in the Beethoven
selection-but scarcely less in the overture
was this noticeable. The selections in the
sixth number-rendered by request-were
very pleasing, the pianissimo passages es-
pecially delighting the audience. Prof.
Colwell. in response to an encore, repeated
passage from "Traumere."
Miss Luther has probably never appeared
to better advantage since she has been in
the city than she did last evening She
seemed to be in particularly good voice. her
high notes were unusually pure, and her
execution was brilliant and finished to a
marked degree She always sings with good
taste.
Mrs. Gill, as the musicians of Grand Rap
ids know, has voice which is almost
phenomenal in its power and range, and
she used it last evening with her usual
skill. Her popularity was evinced by the
iervent applause which was given her each
time she appeared.
