ANNUAL CONCERT.
Luther College Band and Chours to
Give Concert Next Wednesday.

On Wednesday evening, April 10th
at 500 o'clock, at the Grand opera
house, the citizens and music-lovers
of DEBORAH will find opportunity to
crafty their desire of hearing the
renowned Luther College Concert
Band and chorus, which on that oc-
casion will give their annual con-
cert. AS usual the program will con-
sist of numbers never before heard
in DEBORAH, both standard classics
and new works by modern compos-
ers. The program is as follows:
American Overture -. Kretchmer
Second Hungarian Rhapsody. List
Rive Angelique ....... .Rubenstein
Chant du Rossignol (Song of the
Nightingale Hilipovsky
Piccolo Solo by Carsten Sperati.
(a) Left Erickson ..... Borg
(b) My Old Kentucky Home Hoster
Luther College Chorus.
Prelude du Deluge 49,. Saint-Saens
"Phaeton" Poeme Symphonique
...... ..... Saint-Saens
The Vampire ..... Coney
Home Sweet Home the World Over
....... ............ Tampe
Special attention is called to some
of these numbers. The American
Overture by Kretchmer is a majestic
creation of variations on patriotic
themes, the brass and reeds vieing
with each other in producing stirring
and thrilling effects, both joining in
the grand finale, The Star Spangled
Banner" in a manner that cannot
but arouse in the listener the most
intense appreciation of our great and
glorious country.
The Luther College chorus will
find abundant opportunity for show
ing its careful training and the high
ly developed abilities of it's members
in the rendition of the extremely diff
ficult and intricate passage of Oscar
Borg's Left Erickson picturing
that unfinching heros discovery of
the American continent in the 18th
century.
Saint-Saens "Phaeton" is SYM
phonic poem, depicting mythology
cal story.
The composer of The Vampire,
AL b. Coney, is too we'll known to
music-loyers of DEBORAH TO need any
introduction. He has before proven
himself deserving of high praise.
1.-The Vampire" being a characterize
ic waltz, one of his latest produc-
tions.
The last number on the program,
"Home Sweet Home the World over
is Tampes conception of the man
ner in which that popular song is
played in different countries of the
world.
