- Shiloh Concert
The Shiloh Hymnal Concert
May 18th, last Thursday eve
ming, is still the talk of the town.
1t filled the church with en-
Unused and completely satisfied
patrons. Consensus of opinion
today is that it was one of the
very best of a long "blue-rib-
bbonb" Sreies of concerts which
have filled Shiloh in the course
of so years. The program opened
with the eighteen voice Shiloh
Choir offering two contrasting
favorttes, tie lively spiritual, Get
On Board" and Handel"S hymn,
Holy Art Thou" a magnificent
beginning, symbolizing the hymn
books as most of us know them.
Mrs. aucina Booker, a member
of the Choir, then gave a sweet
soprano solo, Crosse In The Bud"
by Dorothy Foster. And next
came the surprise package, the
Andover-N Newton Male Quartet,
singing Haley's May romance
favorite while Strolling Thru
The Park One Day" and Mar
tins well-knoWn "SHine On Me"
Well, by now, the patrons knew
they were in for a great eve
ming. They were right. For
next came the modest, talented,
and pretty Jackson and col
legiate chorus favorite, Miss
lone Dugger, contralto, who was
superb in Riego's ooh Dry Thy
Tears" and Kingford's lifting old
romance tune, Coming Through
The Rye" Then came Fred
Wright with his wonderful bari
tone and bass, singing Hills of
Home" by Fox and Bonds stir
ring Just A Wearying For You"
We don't know if Josh White
ever sang those songs any bet
ter. Mrs. Martha Booker added
further variety to the program
with a splendid reading on
Life" and Mrs. Dorothy john
son the Shiloh organist, who is
an artist of literature and music
in her own right, gave a faith
full piano presentation of Mas
cogni's "Cavalleria Rusticona"
incidentally, Shiloh has had
some outstanding organ-pian-
lists, including Mrs. Johnson,
Coral Yancey Alexander, and
Charlotte Parham Swan, a note
worth remembering.
The Shiloh Choir last week
was a program in itself. After
its opening songs, the Choir
pleased tn patrons about half
way through the program with
tie Chiribum Song" and the en-
during favorite, by and BY"
which some folks are still hum
ming. Then in the Grand Fin
ale, with Fred Wright directing,
the Choir brought the concert
to a glorious ending with a trio
OF old time church hymns.
Since I Started The King
dom, "Oh Lord How Mani
fold" and "Oh Lord How
Merciful." This was a program
OF a true brilliance which. some
day in the future must be pre-
sented again. Certainly it more
than equalled our best advance
predictions.
