CANTATA RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM
High School Chorus and Soloists
render Joan of Arc in Pleasing
Manner-Audienc Not Large.

A comparatively small number of
people heard the cantata, Joan of Are,
rendered in the Auditorium last even
ing by the music department of the
Brattleboro high school, assisted by
Miss Esther Dale, soprano, of North
ampton, Mass; Raymond Hodge, tenor
of Springfield Mass; and Frederic c.

2-piece orchestra The work of the
voealists received enthusiastic support
from the audience The cantata was
given under the direction of Earl A.
Braman, musical director of the school,
for the benefit of the school chorus.
The chorus, which was seated on
specially constructed tiers of seats ar
ranged in semi-circle on the stage.
consisted of about $50 voices Their
enunciation was pleasing and the way
in which they rendered their part of
the program showed painstaking effort
on the part of both the students and
their leader.
Miss Dale, as Joan, drew many fla
vorable comments on the quality and
range of her full soprano voice She
had been heard by Brattleboro audi
enees many times before, but her part
in the cantata gave her another oppor-
tunity to demonstrate her ability to
accurately interpret the works of mu-
sicians. Mr.. Hodge, who took the part
of Philip, revealed a voice of pleasing
quality, and he was heard to good ad
vantage in his duets with Miss Dale
and Mr.. Adams and in the trio mum
bers
The parts of Robert de Baudrieourt
and Jean de Novelonpont were ably
taken by Mr. Adams, who always is
received enthusiastically and whose
renditions were executed in his usual
good form.
Solo numbers were rendered by eacI
of the soloists in the intermission
