Choir Presents
Verdi Requiem
Tabernacle Singers Praised
for Performance.

Hans Won Buelow's opprobrious
description of the Verdi "Manzoni"
Requiem as IAN opera in ecclesias-
tical costume" doubtless is justified,
but those who heard its perform
ance by the Tabernacle Presbyterian
choir last night attest the popularity
Of the colorful and dramatic music
Its performance is no mean un-
dertaking. but through the enter
prise of the choir's director, Fred
Newell Morris, we were able to hear
the celebrated work for the second
time in two seasons.
The four singers who essay the
solo parts of this mass for the
dead" are confronted with the dual
difficulties of opera and oratorio.
The Tabernacle quartet members,
however, delivered the taxing music
in a highly creditable fashion.
Three Soloists Repeat
Three of the soloists, Mrs. Walter
E. Wallace, soprano; Miss Patra M.
Kennedy, meZzo- soprano. and Perry
M. Rush, tenor, were heard in last
years performance. and again gavt
an excellent account of themselves.
The quartet's newcomer, Alfred Hal
liday, enriched the ensemble with
voice of velvety texture, particularly
in its upper register.
Some of the soloists' concerted
numbers lacked freedom and f1eXi-
bility, but the individual singing
without exception was satisfying.
The chorus is heard less in this
work than in the more conventional
compositions of Catholic liturgy, but
its effect was telling throughout.
This especially was true in the
closing number, Liberia Me-" which
Verdi wrote as the last part of a
memorial requiem by Is composers
in memory of Rossini.
'Libera Me" Impressive
The mass was completed but
never performed because of its utter
lack of unity. The Liberia Me" i'm
presses us as the most sincere and
effective portion of the mass, and
incidentally reveals the inveterate
melodist, Verdi, as an adept writer
of contrapuntal music.
Mr.. Morris is to be, commended for
his ambitious and worthwhile Len
ten program, which included Men
delssohn's "Christus" last week, and
which is to conclude with the East
er portion of THE Messiah next
