CONCERT PLEASES

The fifty-ninth annual concert of
the Delaware Saengerbund, in the
New Century Club last evening, was
a notable occasion. The audience
was large, and the program and sing
ing were a continuous source of satiS-
faction to the most critical. Solo
lists and Saengerbund we're literally
encored.
Mrs. Leonard e. Wales sang as
solos, Wares Boat Song" and Wood
mans open Secret" these numbers
displaying we'll the limpid clearness
and sweetness of her voice and her
finished artistry. Herman Gossen,
president OF the Saengerbund, took as
a solo the favorite Last Night I Was
Dreaming" singing it with a large
toned virility that wos most satisfy
ing Mrs Wales and Mr.. Gossen gave
pleasure to the audience in their
beautiful duet, Calm as the Night,
Deep as the Sea-" BY far the best
work done by Mr.. Gossen was In his
solo part in the final number, the
German Battle Sing, which was a good
medium for his robust, vigorous bari
tone.
Mrs. Anna Gummert, who sang with
dramatic feeling and delicacy a diff
cult sopranio aria from the opera
"Stradella," was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the audience
That Edgar Goldberg, cello soloist
was encored goes without saying. Mr.
Goldberg plays with a constantly in.
creasing beauty of expression and ma.
turity of technic. Peppers "Mazurka'
was one of the best numbers, and
the ever-charming Danish lullaby
composed by Mr.. Gandby was an en-.
core. Miss Grace Goldberg accom-.
panied the cello solos with sensitive
appreciation, and Mrs. N. w. Hager-
mann accompanied admirably the
vocal solos.
The Saengerbund choruses were
sung without compartment, anC
the organization won new laurels fol
its excellence. In trueness of tone
unity and singing, and dramatic inter.
probation, the chorus we're so admir-
able as to fully deserve the storm o.
applause which followed each mum
Der. The leader, Otto Wenzel, played
his living instrument of sixty voices
with mastery skill. The most besuti
full of the choruses was "Steh Still II
Valid und Lausche." given with grea
delicacy of shading by the Saenger
bund. "Old Black Joe" was a favor
ite with the audience The German
Battle Song made a rousing and tri
umphant finale to a most successful
concert.
