Calvary Chorus Gives
Annual Concert
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

The tenth annual concert of the
Adult Department Chorus of Cal
vary Baptist Sunday School, under
the direction of Andrew Clifford
Wilkins, took place last evening in
Woodward Hail. This large group
of singers, joined together for the
love of music, has steadily pro-
gressed during the years that they
have worked toward this annual
public appearance, yet have retained
a naturalness in timbre and in
method of presentation that is ex-
tremely agreeable. The voices are
sweet and harmoniously blended
and are never forced toward heavy,
dramatic effects. so that one expert
ences a restful pleasure in listening
to them.
For last evenings program the
chorus presented Sylvia Meyer, harp
ist of >ne National Symphony Or
chestra, as soloist, accompanied in
one number by Quinta Jensen Frey
at the piano. Miss Meyer has the
gift of choosing works that disclose
both the many colorful possibilities
of the instrument and her own artis-
try in playing it. She not only is
complete mistress of the harp tech
nique, but has certain fair in
playing which adds considerable in
terest to her work.
Assisted by Mrs. Frey, she first
gave Widor's Choral and Variations
for Harp and Piano" lovely num-
ber in which the two instruments
merged imperceptibly by the clever
understanding of the artists. Later
Miss Meyer played a group of solos
of variegated moods. including
Pierne's "Impromptu-Caprice," De-
bussy's "The Girl With the Flaxen
Hair; short stories in music by
Salzado of the contrasting titles,
Might Breeze" Goldfish" and Be
hind the Barracks and two other
works by the same composer, Song
in the Night" and "Whirlwind.
Her skillful use of the many effects
which these composers knew how
to devise for the harp, her repose-
full and again fleet manner of play
ing kept the attention of her listen
ers at high tension. Applauded
with great cordiality, she added an
encore to her list of selections.
The choral program was divided
into groups of sacred and secular
works, varied by numbers for male
and female voices alone Among the
songs for four part, mixed voices
was r. Deane Shure's Dwell Ye in
Love-" fine and effective setting
of the biblical text. Other we'll pre-.
, sented numbers for the same voices
were McKay's THE -Four Winds
Katscher-Lawrence's when Day Is
! Done" and Bornschein's "A Song OF
! JOY" in which two trumpets played
i, by Robert Gasser and Louis Bartoo
were used.
Two especially delightful numbers
were the adaptation of Lead Kindly
Light" to Godard's "Berceuse,' from
"Jocelyn," for three part female
voices. with solo part sung ~ Eleanor
Wettergren. and Grey-Parks' "Or
Wings of Night" wherein the mel
