MICHIGAN SYMPHONY
WELL RECEIVED BY
PLEASED AUDIENCE
Program Was Widely Diversi
fied and Featured by Very
Beautiful Compositions.
R. HAMILTON IS SOLOIST
"Danse Moronique" by Hazleman Pre
sented for the First Time by
Symphony at Guilford.
The Little Symphony of the Univer
sity of Michigan, under the direction of
Thor Johnson, presented a most inter
esting- concert in Memorial hall on
Thursday evening. This program was
the last of the college lyceum course
and was received by a very enthusiastic
audience.
The first group included the following
numbers: Overture to "The- Marriage of
Figaro," Mozart; "Suite," transcribed
for orchestra from Opus I, Dohannyi;
"For My Little Friends," Pierne; and
"Dance of the Comedians," from "The
Bartered Bride," Smetana. The last
number was unusually interesting for
several reasons. "The Bartered Bride"
enjoytd such popularity that it became
the national anthem of Bohemia; it is
typical of Smetana's infusing of the
spirit of national life into his works; and
as a piece of music is quite gay, lifting
the spirit, toning the mind, and glad
dening the heart.
The second part of the program was
outstanding in that it featured Mr. Ro
mine Hamilton, playing "Concerto No.
4 in D Major" for violin and orchestra.
This number was written by Mozart and
Mr. Hamilton displaye-d ease and grace
in his rendition. The balance of the
concert included "Four Russian Folk
Songs," Liadov; "The Girl With Flaxen
Hair," Debussy; "Danse Moronique," in
cidentally, was presented for the first
time by the- group on the Guilford ap
