John Charles Thomas and the
Washington Choral Society COM
hined last night in the presentation
of a program in Constitution Hall
1t was an opportunity for the popu-
lar baritone to be heard in songs
and an aria and for Louis Potter
to direct his group in numbers
differing from the oratorio style.
The result was eminently satisfying
to the large audience which gen.
erously expressed its appreciation.
AS a master Of the art OF bel
csnto. Mr.. Thomas remains un-
equalled although his glorious voice
has lost some Of its bloom This
was heard principally in the high
tones and in the rather dull quality
that crept in when singing an old
favorite as Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes" But, given song of
the calibre of Marx "Gebet," or the
aria, "Salome" from Massenet's
''Herodiade," and the tones scared
vital and free. And for an exhibi-
ton Of the vocal are at its finest
there was Torelli's "Tu 10 sal" and
Csldara's Alma del CORE" suhg
frequently by Mr.. Thomas but
always with a perfect command of
style.
The functioning of all the ele-
ments of his vocal production is a
model for singers of all rank. The
smooth, long spun breath, ap-
parently inexhaustible; the reso-
nant tone, his complete relaxation
and poise, the Interpretation that
approximates the spoken word,
operate with the same ease as ever
and justly thrill his listeners. Sing
ing Of this polished kind is seldom
'reard today on the concert plat
form.
A group Of songs in English of
popular appeal completed his indi-
vidual appearances. After his first
numbers. he gave as encore a new
song written by Marguerite Car
reau called Pastures of the Soul"
Mr.. Thomas explained that he had
sung it only once before, and when
the composer was discovered in the
audience, he called on her to accept
the acclaim. During his personal
numbers he had the able accom-
paniments of Richmond Gale at
the piano.

Thomas and Choral Society
Combine Talents in Program

Thomas sang Damroschs AN Abra-
ham Lincoln Song" with marked
effect. Except for It's text, after
Whitman's poem. "Oh, Captain, My
Captain" the selection was less
noteworthy than the other choral
numbers. = Leading the list was
Bachs motet for double chorus.
Sing to the Lord" given what is
believed to be its first hearing
locally. 1t is one of the most tax
ing works for chorus, with intricate
contrapuntal and fugal writing set
in swift and unabating tempo. 1t
is a notable example of Bach's
treatment of the motet with his
skillful juxtaposition of the two
choruses at one point.
Presented for the first time here

for it is lovely setting to words
from Shakespeare's Merchant Of
Venice" The chorus final number
was Taneiev's Sunrise" sung with
fine opulent tone and which was
repeated in response to the ap-
plause. The singers acquitted
themselves well in this diversified
and difficult program singing ac-
curately and with shadings but
with unclear diction. Accompani-
ments were supplied by Sally West
at the piano and Lyman McCrary
