Quite number of inmates have been
disappointed lately on account OF the duet,
which was announced to take place some
time ago. Monsieur Rue tenders an apol-
ogy to the disappointed, and will bring the
matter before Prof. Albert Schmidt again.
1t has been sung here before, and we have
a strong request from the inmates, for this
duet again.
The present hymnals which are used at
both services, comprise the following tones:
soprano, alto, tenor and bass. They are
arranged so precise that it is possible for
any ordinary person to sing them. The
male quartet books which are occasionally
used by the white choir. are especially
written for glee quartet and solo, and are
higher pitched than the hymnals. They
comprise the following four tones: first ten
or, second, first bass and second bass.
Songs that are written for stellar vocalists
such as Patti, Melba etc., are written in a
key that it would be almost an impossible
ity for the ordinary singer to reach, and
make success of. The writer will GO
further into this subject, week by week.
