Mr.. CochCms has voice of great vol
ume which lends itself almost equally
well to dramatic and TO lyric singing
His program, although adapted to the
years of his audience, contained mum
bers of sterling worth. The first group
opened with the 'Anathema" of Won
Fielitz, rendered with dignity and i'm
preSsiveness that made one eager tC
hear him in the rest of that cycle, eS'
pecially in such numbers as 'Erge
bung" and "Mondnacht." This was fol
lowed by sincere Interpretation OF
Brahms Der Schmied," and as an en-
core the singer rendered "L'ultima
Canzone," of ToSti. IN the second
group Mr. Cochems gave an excellent
Interpretation of SulliVan's, "Woc
Thou Thy Snowflake" and displayed
Il beautiful mezzo voice in Lands
Irish Lore Song His closing mum
bers charmed with the melody of '"Tht
Old Refrain" the depth of feeling of
Mother O. Nine" and the rollickins
Tilt in, '"The Ringers" The accom-
former st. Thomas student who has
been making name in musical circles
in the Twin Cities, left nothing to be
desired.
