IShirlee Emmons, soprano.
This girl can sing. She has a
fine voice, of great dynamic
range and variety of color. She
builds a good program and sings
Iintelligently. Her manner in
singing is direct. pleasant. and
completely devoid of the num-
merry which gives me the fantods
at many of the vocal recitals ]
attend.
She is American, and has been
trained here and in Italy. She
picked up the excellent group OF
contemporary Brazilian songs on
a tour of Brazil, where she had
the good fortune and the good
sense to study the songs with
their composers.
In her bow to the bel canto
tradition she did not offer the
usual salad plate of assorted
songs sung in the manner of
Vocal vocalizes. She sang four
songs by the greatest master of
18th century Italian opera,
showing four completely diff
ferent facets of his genius. Two
were airs from his cantatas.
Her German group offered
three songs by Mendelssohn
surprising in their variety and
depth of feeling,
AS a final group, Miss En-
mons sang the agonized Absalom
song by David Diamond, a fine
song by Paul Nordhoff, and the
rather unconvincing Alleluia by
New Rorem.
No small part of the effective
ness of the program was the
work of Patricia Ienni, one Of
the best accompanies I have
heard. Her tone is beautiful, her
technique fluent, and her in
IStinct for ensemble without flaw.

den with most assurance. There
was hardly finesse in their sing

singing notes of an entirely un-
related work.
OF the soloists Edwin Miller, as
Christ, sang creditably; Irving

the Evangelist, suffered from

| Cathedral Program: The Passion
According to st. John, Bach.
Whereas Paul Galloway usu-
ally uses his Cathedral Choral
Society for the large works for
chorus and orchestra that he
gives at the Cathedral, yester-
day for the st. Johns Passion
of Bach he elected the much
smaller regular Cathedral Choir
of so men and boys. This choir,
together with soloists, organ
continue realized by Richard
Dirksen and Is members Of the
National Symphony, represents
a body of musicians much closer
in size to the group for which
the work was written than does
the usual chorus which sings
Bach today. Even so. 1t is note
worthy that Bach's choir. which
he considered satisfactory
though not ideal, was only one
fourth the size of the Cathedral
Choir.
The experiment was success
The average level of talent in
the Cathedral Choir is much
higher than in the Choral Soci-
ETY.. and the singing. unencum-
bered by dead wood, was of a
clarity. fiexibility. and emotional
subtlety never encountered in a
choir Of two or three hundred
amateurs. 1t is no news that the
acoustics of the Cathedral are
treacherous, and the more COM
plicated choruses in which the
orchestra has an independent
part, such as the opening move
ment, lacked the vividness and
clean delineation of parts that
were conspicuous elsewhere.
As in Bach's day. there were
no female singers whatever. The
entire treble section took the
soprano arias, and Robert Ellin-
wood sang those for alto gen.
orally with skill and in true
pitch, but unfortunately in a
voice with not sufficient volume
for the Cathedral. Armand
Harkless did the best he could
with the incredibly difficult aria
"Erwage," but when Bach has a
single voice initiate (not sing
about a rainbow and a water
fall. one must be superhuman to
do the music justice. Donald
Gramm, bass, was an excellent
Jesus, with a large, dark-colored
voice, and Dom Crane handled
the other bass parts effectively.
The singer largely responsible
for the theatrical effect of a
Bach passion is the narrator, in
this case st. John, whose part
was taken by David Lloyd. He
tells the story throughout, as
sisted by Jesus, Peter, PLATE, the
doormaid. and the crowd of Jews
represented by the chorus. Mr.
Lloyd was in good voice and gave
Ia highly dramatic and compel.
ing portrayal of the evangelist
The role is one Mr.. Lloyd has
perfected over many years; his
ability to create anew the Ole
story every time he sings it must
be the despair of even good
preachers.
