OF GREENSBORO CHORAL, ART CLUB HERE Program Was Carefully Selected and Rendered to Delight of Thotc Pres ent. ' By ROB ROY PEE It t An j;veat of unusual inlcres: to lovers of genuine music was (tie eon i cerr given Monday night, April lOtb. . at the Concord Theatre by the Choral Art C.ub ofGreensboro, under the able direction of Charles Troxell. When an organization of forty members journeys some seventy miles to give a musical program of the high est artistic nature, we see some evi dence of the growing interest in worth u'jile music. And when the program given measures up to the high stand ard set by the ChoraJ Art Club of Greensboro, the movement is given an added impetus. A musical aggregation can be no greater than its conductor, and the Choral Art Club is particularly for-1 tunate in the inspiring leadership of, Charles Troxell. The mechanical do- j tails—‘attack, release, empi, etc. —left! nothing to be desired, but above and beyond this there stood out a unity of spirit and nicety of tonal shading that gave evidence of careful training and thorough musicianship. The program was carefully selected to sustain interest, variety and con trast, without resorting to the usual questionable works which we have come to expect of popularity seeking organizations. Saccharine melodies, savoring of the popular, and entering to the tasts of the child-intellect, are not included in the musical diet of Mr. Troxell and his forces, but always those compositions which express the tinest sentiments of those whom they represent, The opening group included rather unusual numbers from the old clas sical period : “Darkness Obscured the Earth" by Michael Haydn, “Passions gfsarg” by Gustav Sehreck. and “Amdist the Myrtles” by Battishill. The first two of these numbers were given in the original Latin and Ger man, and made a dignified opening for the varied program that followed. The second group by the entire en semble was made up of works from more recent writers, Edward Elgar's “Serenade,” Grainger’s “Brigg Fair,” and “The Lee Shore" by Coleridgc- Tayior. The closing group was eom oosed of negro spirituals, “Father Ab raham," arranged by 11. T. Burleigh; "Every Time I Feel the Spirit” by Carl Diton, and “O Holy Lord" by It. Nathaniel Dett. It has been the privilege of the writer to hear the after number as sung by a chorus of liiO trained colored singers under the direction of the composer, Mr.. Dett. There is a compelling fervor which :on hardly be matched, but the ren dition of the Choral Art Club was marked by keen insight on the part of the conductor iill o the religious spirit, bf-each of these numbers. All of the übive groups were done a capella. which in itself is a decided step forward in choral singing. Tlie feature of the evening was the playing of Miss Helena Troxell, twelve year old daughter of the director, who at once captured the affections of her audience.

She responded with encores from Kreisler and Mac Dow -1 ell. j The remaining part of the program was made up of numbers from the women’s chorus and men’s chorus from the club, with incidental solo parts by Dr. T. Edgar Sikes. Bynum Clapp, Robert Wunsch and H. R. Heesh. Mrs, Heyman Hagedbrn, so- j prano. appeared in two solo groups, "Elsa’s Dream” from Lohengrin by Wagner, “A Spring Francy” by Dens more, and the ever popular “Homing” by del Riego.
