Brahms Requiem was given last
evening by the festival chorus, three

cianz and the Thomas orchestra, for
the second concert OF the annual May
FESTIVAL
The attendance was fully equal in
size to that of the first night, and
the Interest and enthusiasm unbound
cd Prof. Albert A. Stanley. whose un-
tagging enthusiasm and strenuous Ell
forts for years have made the an
nual May festival I'm this little city
posslble, is entitled TO great credit
FOR the successful rendition OF Elgar's
choras work. The festival chorus had
studied the work for year, and last
night showed careful training.
The semi-chorus OF trained muslci-
ans had conspicuous part to play In
HE rendition of the work. This chorus
Il made up OF teachers In the voice
department OF the University School
of Music and former pupils of the
school, and but for It's sympathetic
and Intelligent efforts IL would hardly
have been possible to present such a
work
The soloists OF the evening were
Reed Miller. tenor: Herbert Wither-
spoon. basso. and Nine. Nevada Van
Der Seer. contralto. Mr. Miller, who
Ind the role of Gerontius, was heard
at the May festival last year, at which
time he earned place in the hearts
OF the festival patrons. Possessed OF
a clear and ringing tenor voice and
pleasing stage presence. he sang the
roles in splendid manner.
Mr.. Witherspoon made his first ap'
pearance at an Ann Arbor festival ID
two years. He had the roles OF the
priest and THE Angel OF the Agony
both roles capable OF dramatic in
terpretation such as Mr.. Witherspoon
delights TO give.
The contralto role, that of "The
Angel" was sung by Nine. Nevada
Van Der Veer, in a manner entirely
In keeping with the excellence OF her
associates. Nine. Van Der Veer made
her flrst appearance on the opening
night of the festival and the promise
or ability of an unusual nature which
she gave at that time was more than
fulfilled.
The chorus did splendid work.
Despite the difficulties OF Sle work,
cacn member Of the band OF singers
seemed to rise TO occasion nobly. and
they assisted In giving II a finished
rendition that must have rewarded
Professor Stanley for all his work in
It's preparation.
Friday afternoon the third concert
OF the series will be held. Miss Flor
cnee Hinkle appears as soloist. The
principal orchestra number is Brahms
Symphony. No. 4, in f minor. Friday
