The recital given Tuesday evening
at Central College by Miss Pauline
Sellers, being one of the conditions
of gradution from the school Of
vocal music of that institution, was
attended by an audience that tested
the capacity of Murrell Auditorium
and witnessed the popularity Of this
talented young woman, Lexington
music lovers have had opportunities
before of hearing Miss Sellers both
in solo and choral work, especially
in church music. hut never before in
I a programme of widest range afford
ing opportunity for the exhibition OF
her varied talents, comprehensive
study, and minute training. The
{ singers remarkably sweet voice, q
: mezzo-soprano Of easy control ant
q equal to the demands of a most de
! handing programme, together will
5 an easy, gracious stage presence
7 made the triumph of the occasion
y complete.
e The first selection represented thu
early Italian opera of the strictes
u classical type. The words are almos
meaningless, but there is ample op
, portunity for vocal display. Tn.
a singer easily took advantage of thi
opportunity and her first few tone
u put the audience entirely at ease.
sr Two French songs comprised tn
second group. Lyric in style the
call for most intelligent expression
d They we're both well rendered, tn
a second one being enhanced by tn
r. violin obligato. This piece wa
weird, sad and exceedingly beautiful
Handel's "Come Unto Him. was tn
first English song on the program
I'll majestically solemn and unos
le entatious. In contrast was tn
y. fourth group a r~ecitative and cavatin
III from the late Italian opera. This dc
mands singing of the most lori
character. The cavatina is exceed
ingly attractive. From the stan,
- point of mere vocal display this nun
Der was probably the best on ii
program. The runs and turns wei
exceptionally well done.
The three German songs made {
.ty attractive group. The first, the me
at aucholy 'Asra," was sung in EngliI
er, and the other two in the original. Thu
Ill. are all beautiful and 'Ich grol
OTIS NIGHT" is considered by many to
Ike the greatest song e V e
written. The Interpretation of
atz was unusual, The tempo was S
MS considerably faster than ordiuari
v and it fitted most admirably the vol
of the singer.
But perhaps the most pleasi
has numbers to the general public we
