Childhood Of Christ, cantsta. Johann
Christophe Bach
The choir of the Luther Place
Memorial Church presented last
night the seldom heard cantata,
The Childhood Of Christ, by
Johann Christoph Bach.
The cantata is an interest
ing transitional form between
the cantata of j. 8. Bach and
the oratorio of Haydn. Johann
Christoph Bach. its composer
was one of the younger sons OF
the great Sebastian. and spent
his career at the town of Buckle
burg. While overshadowed in his
own day by his more illustrious
brothers, and in our time by the
all-pervading influence of his
father, he was a sound and COM
Ipetent composer. The Childhood
of Christ deserves frequent per-
Torrance.
The choir which performed 1t
last night is not very expert, but
sang with clarity and sincerity
It's tonal blend and clean diction
might well be initiated by some
of the more expensive and bette,
known choirs of the city. In the
absence Of paid soloists. the di-
rector wisely chose to assign the
various recitative and arias to
several singers, to give them ex-
perience and the confidence
which comes only with repeated
public performance. All per-
formed acceptably; some very
we'll.
The organ is one Of the finest
in the city from the standpoint
Iof tone. Some of the ranks OF
fine old pipes are superlatively
clear and characteristic in quail
ity. I Judge that the wind pres
sure is low, and that the voicing
Job is excellent. The acoustics
of the church are such that the
combination of organ and choir
gives a very fine sound.
The regular apparatus OF the
vesper service went very well
except for the choir tendency
to drag at the first Of the pro-
cessional and the last Of the
occasional. They should prac-
tice anticipating the beat some
what when they are physically
far removed from the organ.

Yesterday afternoon the Wen

fans. senior and junior. Ont
proscenium box was filled with
8-l0 year old sirens, whose
boundless delight, like that Of
hundreds of other children
subsidized into elegant poise anc
attention, once the music
started.
During much of the program
their pleasure was well-founded
for the singers showed a dis
cipline and virtuosity that al
times was almost incredible fol
boys so young. Diction and en-
semble especially during the
conductorleSs opera skit) were
near-perfect Accurate pitch
seemed no problem at all, for
1t tagged only once during the
"Heimatland" of the last group
which is quite an achievement,
Within the style that seems
traditional with this group, the
tones they produced were con-
sistent and sure. At its best. the
sound is close to that of GER
tain stops on a baroque organ.
Applied to voices, though, it
seems foreign, after a time, and
assumes a brittle, cleaning
quality. that hardly brings out
the best in boys voices. Com
pared to the pure, warm clarity
Of, say, London's st. Pauls
choirsters. the quality is I'M
appealing.
In their solos the boys seem
to attempt a miniature operate
style that is as astonishing in
its accomplishment as it is in
appropriate to their natural en-
dowments. The Johann Strauss
"Tales From Old Vienna" showed
soloists of vocal agility and pro-
digious dramatic know-how. plus
choral SuperS that could give
pointers to the Met.
But. with the barriers of
language. a stage bare of trap
pings, and the gaucherie of the
situation, even the kids in the
audience appeared merely baffled
and applauded politely for noble
efforts. Audience and singers
alike seemed really relieved
when the boys could stop being
coy and could go back to the
marching formations of their
concert groups. which they per-
formed with much more gusto
and apparent pleasure.
Best sung among these were
pieces by Verdi, Mendelssohn,
Schubert. Schumann. and Or
lando di Lasso, whose Echo
Song" came close to being the
hit Of the concert. One likes to
think that its novel echo effect
was not entirely responsible for
its success, for here. for one of
the few times in yesterdays

suited to bring out the best in

Air Force Cellist Gives
Recital in Barker HuIl
BY DAY THORPE

Sonata in A, for cello alone. James
Cohn; Fantasy Pieces, Opus IS. Schu-
mann.
Carleton SPOTS. a cellist in the
Air Force Band. gave a recital
yesterday in Barker Hall notable
for two unaccompanied major
#works-the Bach suite in C and
the first performance Of a sonata
in A. by a New Yorker and prod
.uct of the Juilliard School Of
Music. James Cohn. In the ac-
.companied part Of his program,
Mr.. Spots was ably assisted by
Robert Paris. local composer
and pianist.
Mr.. SPOTS commands a big
and pleasant cello tone. and his
tendency to play out-of-tune
seemed to disappear after he
had warmed up on the opening
Boccherini sonata. a curiously
.uninspired piece that sounds
more like the work of a Grutz-
macher than of a Boccherini.
The Bach sonata came off quite
we'll. although it was somewhat
lacking in energy and suffered
from a sameness Of tempo in the
quick movements.
The difficulty of writing a
sonata for solo cello offers a
challenge to the modern COM
poser. while the scarcity OF such
works and the enthusiasm with
which they are greeted by per-
forming cellistS are strong in
centives to their creation. The
final movement of Mr.. COINS
piece has some interestin 6
themes and shows off the solo
instrument to good advantage
The other two lack inventive
ness and often sound like a key
board improvisation transferred
to the strings.

excellent Barker Hall take place
