and full and has a wide range of tone,
the upper notes sounding with a clear,
sweet quality. She uses the overtone
in a skillful manner, coloring the voice
to suit the text. Miss Philbin sets a
high standard of Interpretation and

and her phrasing finished showing
careful work in breathing and forward
placement of tone. The bel canto
style of singing is well demonstrated

dramatic power in her voice. Miss
