MUNICIPAL con.
CERT ON SUNDAY

A large and appreciative audience
that comfortably filled the Normal
school auditorium Sunday afternoon
greeted the municipal orchstra in it's
initial concert of the season. The or
chestra, under the direction Of Dean
Froysaa, was assisted by Mesdames
troysaa and Craswell. The numbers
which were tastefully selected and de-
llghtfully given occupied only an hour
and left the audience in mood for
more.
The concert was prefaced by COM
munity singing. The opening number,
the Star Spangled Banner, was fol-
lowed by two other popular selections
which were entered into with enthus-
iasm on the part Of the audience and
symbolized fine community spirit
on the part of the townspeople.
The numbers by the orchestra from
the overture to the concluding selc-
tons. Sons of Uncle Sam March by
Mccoy, were rendered in pronounc-
edly fine manner and furnished the
type OF enjoyment that fully equalled
that given by professional organiza-
tons. Dean Froysaa had assembled
finely balanced Instrumentation of the
towns best talent and kept them up
to their best performance by his skill
ed and graceful leadership. The mel
ody, produced mainly by the strings,
in Adieu by Friml, caught the listen
ers' best attention and held it in an
appreciative mood throughout. The
march numbers, always popular.
seemed to have an especial appeal to
the audience of yesterday afternoon
and furnished liveliness of appr-
eclatlon which the audience was quick
to manifest.
The vocal numbers, sung with fine
feeling, were Of an unusually high
order. Mrs. Froysaa, who was in fine
voice, sang Nightingale by Whelpley
land April Morn by Batten. Her per-
Torrance in these numbers showed a
dellcacy of Interpretation and YER
satility in technique of such pro-
nounced merit that her hearers were
captivated and echoed it's responsive
ness in plainly discernible emotion.
The duet numbers, sung by Mes
danes Froysaa and Craswell, were ia
miliar enough to furnish an expectant
appreciation and their rendition rea-
lized for the audience what it would
most like to hear in the Long, Long
Trail, the Barcarole from Tales from
Hoffman, and Denza's Come, Come
Away. The arrangement of the Long,
Long Trail for duet brought out the
beautiful quality of Mrs. Craswell's
contralto and opportunity for the del
icate feeling Of Mrs. Froysaa's So
prano to show with telling effect in
the obligato. The Barcarole was
charmingly sung, and this attractive
group was concluded with a spirited
performance of the duet of Denza.
Miss Wright's accompaniment was ad-
n1irable.
/ The fine spirit of the Commercial
| Club in making it possible for Valley
City to hear such concerts Of distinc-
lively high merit evidences commend
able concern on their part for the
musical appreciation and the further
ance of community spirit Of the people
! of Valley City. The inter est and abil-
| ity of Dean Froysaa in marshalling
an excellent aggregation Of musicians
/ is distinct asset to the life of Valley
City.
