Before discussing the very excellent
rendition of Mendelssohn's oratorio st.
Paul by the Fargo-Moorhead Phil
harmonic club, at the First Methodist
church., last night, a word concern
ing the audience is In order. Numeri-
cally 1t was a very disappointing and
discouraging one, but withal that the
singers and members of the symphony
orchestra appeared to keep a "stiff
upper llp.' There is no doubt about
it, A. +, Stephens, the enterprising
conductor, himself was the ~stinnulant.
If he was disappointed because peo-
pie Of the city had not seen fit to turn
out and lend their aid and cooper
alton in the laudable efforts of the
Philharmonics he could not help it.
He and his associates had done their
best. .... ....
One thing is evident, oratorio pro-
ducers here in Fargo have got to
change their schedule. Spring pro-
auctions have never really been the
success that was hoped for. In a large
Measure pre-commencement appoint
ments are much in the way and many
sources are found for the dollars and
half dollars. However. there was one
redeeming feature the people present
made as much display of interest and
enthusiasm in the splendid music pr
sented as they possibly could. The
gems in the st. Paul score were quick
ly recognized and the s~oloists and
choristers appreciated the endeavor to
give a big hand"
1t is generally understood that this
was the first production of st. Paul in
Fargo. If it has been given it is so
long ago that it has passed from the
minds of early day music lovers. This
work Of Mendelssohn's is %conspicu-
Gus for it's beautiful choral numbers,
the author was not eXacting upon the
soloists, but he assigned them a mum
Der of beautiful recttatives arias and
ariosos and all of them were beauti-
fully interpreted, last night, respec-
lively by Manzanita E. Stephens, So
prano; Mrs. Harry H. Wheelock, con-
tralto; Henry Houglum, tenor: and
Bertrand Alan Orr, baritone. All are
local singers and all gave excellent
accounts of themselves.
The accompanying orchestra was
mainly made up Of junior students
who have been under Mr.. Stephens
tutorship for a year, or two, a few Of
them a little more advanced. This
ensemble was augmented for the oc-
casion by several experienced players
in the Srting and wind sections. From
beginning to end the instrumentalists
disclosed a well disciplined and finely
led amateur orchestra the majority
of which will always be, if not musi-
clans, at least musical, and that is a
reward to any teacher. Great assist
nee was rendered on the great organ
Of the church which was so skill
fully played by George Ralf Kurt.
The applause at the end of the over
ture was well earned.
