Maennerchor

Concert First Ever Staged
Without Imported
Guest Artist.
BY JAMES THRAsHER

The indianapolis Maennerchor
seems to oe functioning very nicely
as a purely local organization.
Without the attractions of the
Sunday artist concerts of former
years, and for the first time last
night, without an imported guest
artist for a choral performance, it
still contrived to carry on and pro-
duce an evening of entertaining
music.
Edward La Shelle, local teacher,
conductor and singer, came from the
ranks of the chorus to fill the role
of soloist. For his two groups, he
chose representative German and
English songs, of which the latter
were decidedly more to his advan-
tage.
Beginning with the brief but de-
cidedly dramatic Homeland Mine"
of Gretchaninoff, we heard My
self When Young" from Liza Leh-
mann's Persian Garden" Fox
The Hills of Home and Captain
STATIONS Fancy" by Deems Tay-
lor. In the last two especially, Mr..
La Shelle was entirely at home,
both vocally and in the projection
of the music's mood.
The German '1ieder" represented
some of the greatest composers at
their best - Schubert's "Dopple-
gaenger" and "Erlkoenig," tn e
Schumann "Widmung" and Strauss
"Zueignung" and "Traum durch die
Daemmerung"-but seemed least
suited to the singers gifts In the
first place, much of the music lay
in the least effective range of Mr..
La Shelles voice. The diction,
too, seemed troublesome at times.
But though the soloist never quite
extracted the full meaning from the
German poetry, the English lyrics
were given their just due.
We can not complain that sing
ers "Erlkoenig" is not so very ex-
citing, when Jacques Wolfe's THE
Glory Road" heard as an encore to
last nights English group, is done
with such real fervor 1t is no mark
of demerit to be a good ballad
singer, and that Mr.. La Shelle GER
tainly is. There was telling reson-
ance in much of his later singing,
and his manner of delivery was
most pleasing.
A special word must be said for
the sympathetic and artistic accom-
paniments of Mrs. La Shelle Both
artists we're greeted with hearty and
prolonged applause.
Conductor Karl Reckzeh's choice
of choral offerings likewise included
German and English. OF chief in
terest in the German songs was
Mr.. Reckzeh's choral setting of the
Thirteenth Century Adam de lie
Hale's "Minnelied,' originally Rob
in Maine" from the primitive OPP
cratic venture, Robin and Marion. -
The air is one of engaging SIM
plicity, we'll able to stand on it's own
musical as we'll as historical feet.
The choral adaptation was we'll done
and capably sung.
Grieg's Land Sighting" sung in
English and with John M. White as
baritone soloist, brought the concert
to close. Here, as in the other
numbers, was much spirited singing,
and effective contrasts of fne-spun
pianissimos. 1t is good chorus,
and much credit is due Mr. Reckzeh
for the performances he draws from
an amateur group, as we'll as to the
singers themselves for their en-
thusiasm, attentiveness and in
dustry.

Three new series announced by
the Nash Motors Company for

For the first time in history,

The windmill was purchased
