although the singing of this splendid
group is well-known here now after
nine annual appearances, yester-
days concert showed that they are
by no means content with what has
won them success, but are striving to
improve and vary it.
The improvement was particularly
noticeable in the voice of the tenor
section. Formerly the white shrill
tones of these singers and the pre-
dominating use of the falsetto coun-
teracted the effect of the noble,
darker-toned voices. Now there are
several excellent singers in this
division 1.-TWO of whom were heard
in solo parts in yesterdays program)
with more strength and more timber
in the ensemble. This gain is of
great importance, more so than the
loss, it seemed yesterday, of couple
of the deepest bass.
Falsetto Used Discreetly.
The second point of rejoicing was
the absence of the very relaxed
pianissimo which, for few seasons,
spoiled the fine singing of the chorus.
There was plenty of soft singing
yesterday, but not of that toneless,
Objectionable kind that was n favor .
ite with the director for a while.
Nor was there an abuse of the fall
setto. 1t was used yesterday dis
creetly and for a given effect, and as
such was thoroughly appropriate.
All in all, the times when that great,
resonating quality of theirs was
called upon was nicely Offset by a
proper amount of subdued singing
But whatever one may criticize in
this respect, the extraordinary skill
at weaving the complicated harmo-
nies, the manner of making original
effects and the strong sense of
rhythm, remains unexcelled by any
other group. Countless times the
marvellous harmonization of the
voices, the stepping out of one
section for just a moment of effect,
the finely directed diminuendos and
crescendos, the sharp attacks and
purity of tonal pitch, were something
to marvel at. Mr.. Jaroff's keen mu-
sical sense that has analyzed the
compositions to the nth degree, stood
revealed in the detailed work of these
singers and his own fervor was re-
sponded to in every instance.
AS is customary, the program be-
gan with religious songs, among
which we're two of surprising
beauty from the "Panichida," the
service for the dead, by Tshesnokov,
and ''The Lords Prayer" an old
church motive used formerly in the
Moscow Oospensky Cathedral. The
prayer for Russia and the Russian
people by Tschaikowsky was anoth-
er beautiful number that the chorus
sang with noble effect and deep
emotional feeling. There is some
thing lofty and spacious about this

that far outdistances its clever sing
ing of lighter works.
Fine Baritone Voice.
The first group of secular COM
positions opened with the chorus
and aria of Boris from the first act
of Boris Godounow," fine BARI
tone solo voice singing the short
aria. This was by far the finest
singing after the religious numbers.
Rimsky -Korsakoff's Song Of India"
revealed another fine voice in the
tenor who sang the melody to the
chorus accompaniment and "Kaz-
bek," arranged by Jaroff, was a
melancholy choral number most
effectively given. Shvedoff's popular
