: T. n Z
An excellent concert, the presen-
tation of which could be measured
by professional standards. was
GWEN by the Madrigal Singers OF
the Washirgton-Lee High School
yesterday afternoon in the Phillips
Gallery. This group of 10 young
people, admirably trained by Flor
ence Booker, consists OF Janice Hup-
puch, Kay Perkins. Bee Barde, So
pranos; Marilyn Morris, Pat Peter
son, altos: Hugh johnson jr., Rex
johnson jr., tenors; Milburn Tenn
pleton, baritone, and Bill Jones and
Bill Macmillan, basses. The en-
semble is the more remarkable be-
cause the high standards of its
performance were maintained
throughout the afternoon without
Miss Booker's presence on the stage.
Self reliant, the singers followed
only the expressive face of Miss
Bardee, student leader, whose eyes,
turned to this or to that one, give
the cue. The auditor might have
been aware also of young man on
her left, who, with a pipe at the
beginning of every new selection,
established the pitch, sustained
with impeccable accuracy to the
very end OF a song. Natural and
unconstrained, the ensemble is
exemplary for ease and discipline,
steadyness and clarity Of tone, the
bird-like sweetness Of girls voices
blending with the sorority Of those
of the boys.
The first four selections Of a
religious character made an i'm
pressive beginning. Palestrina's
""Adoramus Te," in Frank Damrosh's
arrangement, was presented to-
gether with 18th century melody
"Alta Trinita" arranged by Burney.
'"Three Men Trudging," provincial
Easter carol, and Bortniansky's S
familiar "Cherubim Song No. u
closed the group. That the sing
ers can already command a pianis-
simo was best illustrated in Netto's
'@The Little Church Bells" This
is the type of volume that could
have been used effectively In
Bortniansky's anthem. Taken at
a much slower tempo by the great
choirs of the Russian Orthodox
Church than heard yesterday, the
chant still forms a part of religious
ceremony. Rising from an almost
inaudible beginning to the exalted
heights of q stirring fortissimo, 1t
stands alone for the expressive
strength of It's devotional character.
With more attention paid to the
meaning Of words and music In gen.
eral elasticity of dynanlics and bet
ter diction, the ensemble would
leave nothing more to be desired.
One of the most pleasing selec-
tions on the program with piano
accompaniment by Jimmie Waters
was Mignone's "Slumber Song" with
the majority humming the music
and the sopranos excelling in their
parts. Gibbons Silver Swan" with
an incidental solo by Miss Huppuch,
and Twenty, Eighteen" sung by
the group with Rex Johnson, jr.,
and Miss Perkins as soloists, were
among the high lights of the after

the modernistic part Of the program.
The concert was completed by 3

and tempt, execution OF Mozarts
