This concert may be rightly term ed a May festival concert, for neith er have the Choral Society, nor its leader, Professor Harry J. Zehm, of Elizabeth College, Charlotte, spared pains or energy to make it of such hi'h standard. Not only is the ehor ns itself larsrer, stronger and better able to handle musie than at the last eoneert, but arrangements have been made to have as soloist Miss. Eliza beth Van Poole, of Salisbury, who will take the contralto solos; Messrs. John W, Fox and George H. New eotnbe, of Charlottt, who will take tbe baritone and tenor solos, respec tively, and also the Asbury Orches tra, of Charlotte, with Harry Asbury as leader, and Miss Edith von Oilo we, of Elizabeth College, Charlotte, as first violinist. -. -. , The programme is cantata enti tled, "The Rose Maiden," the words being adopted from the German poem by R. E. -Francillon, with the musie by Frederic H. Cowen. The story, is about the Queen of the Flower Faiiy ies, who, weary of a life of unbroken calm, prays" of the newly : returned spring, that he will bestow upon ber also the gift of love that he bestows upon man, of his warning her of the risk, she runs, her entreaties to which he .finally yields, her change " .into; mortal form, her wanderings through the world, her marriage to a forester, bis death, and the death of the Queen who is known as Rosebloesom. Not being a professional musician I cannot say much about the music other than . that it is not of the too morbid, nor of the too classical, but interchanging of joy and sorrow, love and death and is easily, enjoyable to ' - Choral Club has ino hesitancy iu auuouneinthat -it is a selection worthy of its efforts and energy, and also of the. audience who Is to pay to hear it. .v 7jr ' . r Seats "will be on sale- at .Gibson Drug Store,, all day Friday, JSatur J aay, iuonaay ana xuesauy, uie -prices being 50 cents for reserved seats; 35 cents general admission, and 25 cents for : children (including :- reserved seats.) - Thanking you for your courtesy,, 1 am Yours respectf ully, -? ...
