BIG SUCCESS
~
The First Musical Festi-
val in Barre
CLOSED LAST NIGHT
Plans Are Being Made For
Holding Another One

The final concert of the Musical
Festival was held last night and as a
wind up to what has been a treat to
all lovers Of music, it was certainly a
fitting one. The large audience were
agreeably surprised as the different
selections we're rendered but when it
came to Gounod'S Mass their appreci-
alton Of the chorus and Of the render
ing Of the solos was especially enthu-
siastic as shown in the applause given.
AS an affair which should have the
support OF the citizens of Barre, the
Association are to compli mented IN
their first effort in so far as the enter
tainmenlS are concerned Every one
Of the five was a success.
The soloiStS in The first part did
everything in their power to make
the evening pass pleasantly and the
audience fully appreciated this fact
by the thunderous encures given to
each rendition. The singing of Nine.
Kileski Bradbury is certainly treat,
as the manner in which she reached
the high notes in some Of her difficult
selections was fine. Her voice is pow
erful, but sweet, her pronunciation is
perfect and no matter how difficult the
song, or how high the notes, the ar
ticulation was as clear as bell. Mr..
Frederic Martin as basso, and Mr..
Shirley as tenor received their full
share of praise from the audience and
deserved it fully, as they are both ar
lists of high standing.
The chorus last night fairly sur
passed itself and although the mass
is difficult one, they certainly rem
dered it far better than it had been
thought they possibly could.
There is some fine material in this
body of singers for future success,
especially the altos, who are beyond
praise, as their sweet voices could be
heard at all times ringing out clearly
even above the sopranos. This can
be accounted for from the fact that
although the sopranos were among
the best to be secured in and around
the city, there were not enough OF
them to hold their own with the more
powerful voices of the men and the
altos.
1t was for this reason that they
could not give the Credo with such
force as was necessary. but they mace
up for it in the Sanctus.
The whole success musically rests
with Henri F. Blaisdell, the efficient
conductor and teacher and to George
II. Wider the musical. director and
their orcheStras, to whom too much
praise cannot be given for their etti-
cient work. These two gentlemen
have put their time day and night
iut making the affair success and
have done So admirably.
Rev. Mr.. Fuller announced that the
executive committee were pleased
with the success of the Musical FeS.
tival and thanked the merchants for
their tender Of support when they
signed their names to list as a guar
antee OF expenses, but he said they
would not have to use it now as they
had more than sufficient to cover all
expenses. He further said that the
members would meet together soon to
elect officers and that before the
coming winter was over they would
give another concert. The soloists
have been engaged for next season.
