who will perform pieces of literature.
"The N.C. Arts Council wants to
promote the practice of presenting
literature in performance, not just
dramatic literature such as plays. Limiting
productions to drama passes by
marvelous funds of literature." Mrs.
Hardy said.
"They also want to provide programs
which will go to towns that don't have
facilities to stage a theatrical touring
company," she added.
Readers Theatre, a relatively new form
of entertainment which has come into
prominence within the last two decades,
is tailored to meet these needs. It puts
literature into performance form,
bringing to the audience exciting
interpretations of all genres of literature

America.
Last Tuesday, the Roger Wagner
Chorale sang, and sang very well, to an
audience that dotted Memorial Hall as
sparsely as Republicans in Chatham
County.
This does not befit an ensemble of
such excellence.
And excellent it most assuredly is.
Roger Wagner, who is in his own right j
most distinguished choral scholar, has
collected a group of enormous individual
talent and moulded it into a homogenous
and unified whole.
This was finely demonstrated with the
opening work of the concert, a Gregorian
setting of the "Ave Maria." The piece
consists of a unison plainsong melody
sung by the tenors and basses. To
accomplish smoothness and intonation in
such a style starting off cold is a
considerable achievement, but the male
singers of the Chorale handled it
perfectly.

stories, novels, journals, and letters.
Readers Theatre also uses a cast of
reader-actors performing with simple
staging. Sets may be nothing more than a
group of platforms at various levels.
Lighting, music, minimal costuming and
other effects aid the performance.
Another purpose of the N.C. Arts
Council grant, according to Mrs. Hardy, is
to reward reader-actors from North
Carolina for their excellence in the field
of readers theatre. "We will be using the
most qualified and best trained
actor-readers we can find to give the state
the best possible talent."
Members from the Carolina Readers
Theatre company will be chosen fronv

The group rounded off this section ot
the evening with Sweelmck's setting of

Vitality was the key here, as performance
was matched with meaning.
Moving next to secular, as opposed to
sacred. Renaissance music, the Chorale
performed "An Joly Bois." by Sermisy.
and Le Jeune's "Revency venir du
printemps." These were characterized by
great precision and clarity, so much so
that it was not only clear that the pieces
were in French, but one could admire the
authenticity of the French accent.
For the Le Jeune, a small solo group
split away from the main choir. Verse by
verse, more voices were added until a
five-voice group was spotlighted against
the backdrop of the larger ensemble.
At this point the Chorale's resident
pianist, Albert Domiriguez, played

Hill. Specific locations will be announced.
In the spring of 1973, the Carolina
Readers Theatre will tour ten towns in
North Carolina, presenting three different
programs selected from great works of
literature on the basis of appeal to a
variety of audiences.
"We hope to build Readers Theatre all
over the state," said Mrs. Hardy,
expressing her expectations for the tour.
"Hopefully it will not be a one-year
venture but it will be enlarged and
possibly taken out of state eventually. We
see this tour of the Carolina Readers as a
pilot, just a first step."

"Laud to the Nativity" is otie of his must
satisfy ing woiks.
It is a setting ol the (Tiiistrnas story,
and includes passages tor solo voices. This
gave some of the excellent soloists in the
Chorale the chance to displjy their ski!!.
Perhaps most ouslandmg was Mary
Rawcliffe, in the role of the Angel. She
has a pure and clear soprano, with an
effortless top register well supported
from below.
Kenneth Westrick, tenor, and Andre
Jordan, mezzo-soprano, were equally
impressive, though Westrick was a little
shaky at times on his top notes.
A work set firmly in the twentieth
century but with definite roots in the
past, "Laud to the Nativity" is a
showcase for a fine choir. The Chorale
gave it an impressive performance.
After the interval, we moved to a piece
by Ravel, "Three Chansons". These are
three short songs in the French style,
with many running passages and tricky
time changes. Jeannine Wagner, who
soloed in the second song, was a trifle
husky at times, but sang musically
enough.
Instead of the Ravel work on the
program, Dominguez played two pieces
by Brahms in his second-half appearance.

Rawchiie's wt.ndeilul clarity was most
excellently balanced by the male voices
of the choir, who constituted the
accompaniment.
The males really had a field day when
they came to the next Hen on the
program, a collection ot Cowboy sons.
"Home on the Range." "Bury me not on
the lone Piairie" and several others were
given tousing hut s mpaihctic renditions.
Next came three American folk-songs, the
most impressive of which was probably
"(ilendy Burke," the tale of a tail ship
w ith a "last crew."
The last item on the program was a
group of Trench carols, always popular
with audiences. Again, there was a clarify
and a unity, as well as a lineness ol
diction, that was impiessive.
And now the fun began.
Starting off with composure, the
Chorale performed a series ol encoies
that rapidly became more frenzied and
more hilarious. "Oh Dear, What Can the
Matter Be" was only a start:
"Polly-Wolly-Doodie" featured a trio of
nasal grasshoppers and "Dry Bones" was
accompanied by a myriad of aJ hue
percussion instruments and a skeleton
dangling from the ceiling.
It was a suitably ghoulish end to a
superb Hallowe'en concert.
