Festival OF Organ Music

sity Glee Clubs presented their 25th
annual concert last night at the
Willard Hotel under the direction
of DR.. Robert Howe Harmon, as
sisted at the piano by Grace Ruble
Harmon.
The combined mixed chorus of
some 10 voices gave a fine exhibi-
ton of its training in the first group,
which consisted of three Russian
religious songs a capella: Ivanoff S
Bless the Lord, o My Soul" Ark
hangelsky's Hear My Supplica-
tion." Bortniansky's 10, Voice to
Heaven Sounding" and in Christian
sens Praise to the Lord" with
piano accompaniment. BY special
request, another number by the
same composer, Beautiful Saviour -
was added, the solo part of which
was sung by Mary Beth Sheppard,
contralto.
The smoothness and security of
the delivery was quite remarkable
for any group. especially when one
considers the youth of the perform
erS. 1t was interesting to hear a
different infiexion given to familiar
Russian church anthems, all of
which were sung brilliantly, in con-
trast to the traditional execution
which is somber and mystical in
color. This was especially notice
able in the Bortniansky selection
which, in a church filled with in
cense and burning tapers, begins in
a slower, measured tempo, subdued
in tone, rising unexpectedly to exalt-
ed heights in the middle part.
The remainder of the program
consisted of IL numbers, which in
troduced the men and girls clubs
individually.

The third organ recital in the
Festival of Organ Music, given
under the auspices of the District
Chapter of the American Guild of
Organists, introduced 1t. Ellwood
w. Hill at the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints last
night. Confidence and authority
characterized his performance.
Already in Marcello's Psalm
XIX" the first number on the pro-
gram, 1t. Hill sounded virile note,
accenting the buoyant nature of the
composition by satisfying volume
of tone and artistic phrasing. The
latter asset was carried out further
in Lully's "Air Tendre" and Scar
latti's Sonata in c Major" in
which, true to the period and style,
he made minute differentiations be-
tween an almost inaudible pianis-
simo and piano, swelling the organ
at times to crescendo and back
again with remarkable elasticity
of tone. In the Scarlatti number
he made clever imitation of a
hapsichord while in Bachs Con
certo Nv" the phrases were rounded
out with care.
The rest of the program con-
sisted of Bach's Chorale Preludes:
