Win Friends

TT WAS quite week for the
Sibellians. In their first tour
In the north part of the state,
They began with an appearance at
the First Methodist church. Ever
EFT, at o'clock, Sunday. Sixty
miles and 90 minutes north and
they were ready for an audience of
500 that filled Garden Street Meth
odist church in Bellingham Sunday
night.
Wednesday there was the first
annual return engagement at
Aberdeen with 400 paid admissions
and request to come again next
season.
In all three concerts the opening
number, olaf Trygvasson." sung
in Norwegian, was particularly
liked.
Though his stated violin groups
were enjoyed. the response 10
George Johnson's playing an en-
core number, kreisler's "Liebes-
freud" was something of an ova-
ton.
The home concert by the group
will be given at Central Lutheran
church May ..

dramatic. The oratorio possesses
as foundation and content the deep
est and loftiest ideas of Christian
religion and moral Its heroes and
heroines are the ideal messengers
and instruments of divinity. Their
struggles, their triumphs, are
those of noble souls The strains
with which the composer expresses
their emotions and their feelings
must thus aim at the ideal.
The chorus. forming the most
important factor in the oratorio,
not seldom concentrates in itself
the central ideas of the composers
expression and inspiration. The
purely sentimental and realisti-
cally passionate-the reflex of the
human life in its continual con-
flicts and struggles, do not find
such Il conspicuous place in ora
torio.
For the oratorio, the musician
requires 1.-The sincere reverence of
a devout mind accompanied by a
keen appreciation of the inner
meaning of the text--a thorough
understanding of the spirit as well
as the letter" The very forms used
on oratorio. similar TO those in
opera, are of more solid and per-
haps scholarly character than the
solo and concerted numbers writ
ten for the opera. In work, par
ticularly. we see the difference be-
tween these two great art prod
ucts"
The opera chorus Is by its ma
ture light and fragmentary. The
parts cannot be too complex. In
the best trained choruses, the sing
ers having to memorize these parts
would face almost insuperable diff
ficulties.
In the oratorio chorus, the grand
embodiment of one mighty thought
or precept, or the description of
solemn. strong or impressive Incl
dent calls for majestic, solid, and
erudite treatment. Hence, upon
the chorus of the oratorio is law
ished. or should be, all the wealth
and proficiency and muscianship.
The Immortality of foremost ora
torio music is that which, to
thoughtful minds, makes one rea-
lie the infinite possibilities of the
divine art.

Great Singer
Wins Acclaim

Acclaimed by Toscanini as the
greatest living contralto and her
aided by the music lovers of the
nation as the greatest OF all con-
cert artists, Marian Anderson APP
peared before a house filled to
capacity Thursday evening. Hun
dreds were turned away from the
Temple theater, where the concert
was held under the auspices of the
Tacoma Civic Music association,
many who had waited two years
for her return engagement.
Included In Miss Anderson's
repertoire We're a number of the
old classics; group by contempo-
rary composers. among which
"Rivets" by Cohen and The Girl
the Boys All Love by Miss An
derson's own sccompanist, Kosti
Vehanen. were particularly out
standing. and a group of we'll loved
Negro spirituals.
Miss Anderson's remarkable
range, with its fun organ-like tone,
was perhaps best illustrated in her
presentation Of Schuberts immor-
tai Ave Marie" Her volume con-
troll was remarkably displayed in
this number as ii was in her rem
dition of a Bruno Nestiti' by
Carissimi which featured the ex-
ceptionally rich. low tones of her
voice.
Outstanding We're the aria Cas-
Ia Diva" from "Norma" BY Bel
lini which displayed the great
strength OF her voice. and the
group of Negro spirituals. which
Miss Anderson sang with delicacy
and feeling.
Refusing TO leave. the audience
called Miss Anderson back time
and time again TO sing the encores
among which were the capricious
Cuckoo" and the popular
Coming Through the Rye"
