Hungarian Rhapsody, number two, by
Lizt, represents the elimination of
the romantic school of music. This
number is the best and most brilliant
Of all the LIT rhapsodies, is very
dlthcult of execution and Is played
by leading artists the world over.
The vocal numbers are all represen-
tatiye of the most artistic produc-
tlons in the realm of vocal music.
"Schlummerleid", sung by Miss
Shumway, and Heaven Hath Shed a
Tear sung by Miss Mers, are more
sustained in their style, while
"Nymphs and Fauns" and the Chan
son Provencale", sung by Miss Mers
and the "Staccato Polka" sung by
Miss Shumway, represent the more
brilliant style of composition and re-
quire great fexibility of voice.
"Chanson Provencale' and the In
dian Bell Song" are especially elab-
crate and number among the best
songs in the repertoire of all leading
singers. The work of the three
young women with this difficult mu-
sic was splendid in tecnique and in
depreciation. Dean and Mrs. Men
denhall have every reason to be very
proud of this years graduates from
the college of music of Willamette
University.
The presentation of class was by
