Is LlaneIly an Euphonious Word?
1t is a great honor for any musical or
ganization to sing before the crowned
heads of Europe, and it is a greater
honor for European choir to be invited
to sing in the White House before it ar
rives on the American shores. This has
been the double lot of the Llanelly choir
of South Wales.
The reader may shudder and spell out
"L-la.n-e-ll-y." 1t is hard to pro-
nounce Twist your mouth on one side
and blow out the double "L' and you
have Llanelly. Said one American,
"Why on earth did not this choir select
a more euphonious name for its Ameri-
can tour
The name "Llanelly" in Europe is Its
most valuable asset, as this tells i'll a
moment that it is the best mixed choir
of its size in Europe; that it is the
famous prize winner, and that this is the
choir, which owing to its many victories,
was commanded by King Edward to APP
pear at Windsor Castle to entertain the
Emperor and Empress of Germany.
After the remarkable concert, the Ger

superbly. | was struck with the male
portion of the choir. They are grand!'
The German empress said: "GOur

and every item was beautifully rendered

this chorus anywhere
Their majesties may not be musical
critics, but the musicians of world wide
standing in the old country who have
heard the choir have been unanimous in
their enthusiasm. Signor Randegger
said: you must travel long way 10
hear anything better than the Llanelly
choir"
DR.. F. H. Cowen said: The sing.
ing of the choir was really dramatic and
graphic"
Coleridge Taylor said: Their singing
was extremely fine and well knit to.
gether. The grip was really splendid. "
The secret of the excellent and artistic
singing is that every singer is a solost
1t is combination of finished artists,
who have sung together for many years
under the same conductor, John
Thomas, whose national reputation in
England has been made and retained by
the long string of the victories of his
choir. This is the choir that has been
invited to sing at the White House in
November next, and will appear at
Frostburg Opera House Friday evening
