Being a reviewer in a community like
Chapel Hfll is not the easiest of things.
One must always try to strike a happy
balance between honest, subjective
criticism, judgement from an absolute
standpoint arid regard and appreciation
for an artistic effort made with every
good intention but perhaps not quite
coming up to standard. Of course, there
are a host of other things to take into
consideration, but that first basic
distinction must always be made.
The point I'm working up to is this:
listening to the Carolina Choir last
Tuesday night, I came to the conclusion
that no concessions needed to be made to
the amateur, "College" status of this
group. The Choir is now approaching the
point where it can only be judged by the
highest of criteria, by a comparison with
the best that choral performance has to
offer.
The only disappointment I found in
the concert was the pitifully small size of
the audience. This concert was worth the
S2 admission and more for the standard
of performance alone, without
considering that the Choir desperately
needs the money to finance its trip to
Europe this summer.
But enough of generalization. The
concert opened with Byrd's motet "Ave
Verum Corpus," a shortish , slow typically
Elizabethan piece. Right from the
beginning, the Choir showed strength and
assurity, with clean phrasing and
intonation, and fine resonance.

Unaccompanied, as they were for the
whole concert, the singers handled well
the overlapping entries and complex
rhythms of the "Miserere" section.
This was followed by the major
achievement of the entire concert, if not
of the whole year. "Motets for a Time of
Penitence," by Poulenc, are hideously
difficult pieces to pull off. and the
Choir's self-assured performance was all
the more praiseworthy because they had
sung it once already that night. The
motets deal with the Passion; the
betrayal, crucifixion and death of Christ.
A successful performance of these
pieces depends more than anything else
on superlative vocal tone. This is
something quite difficult to define, but it
involves control of dynamics, expression
and vibrato to produce a polished and
disciplined sound. Whatever it is. the
Choir had it. Poulenc's sometimes
strange-sounding harmonic ideas were
clearly and sensitively expressed, and the
Choir's attention to detail was
exceptional.
Lara Hoggard, the Choir's director, is
considered something of an authority on
the works of Poulenc, and his great
knowledge and understanding of the
composer was evident in this
performance. Especially good was the last
motet of the four in the piece, which
deals with the betrayal. This, by the way,
comes after the crucifixion scene, because
Poulenc considered Christ's betrayal to be
continuing to this day. The music in this

Another high point of the evening was
Brahms's motet "O Heiland. rci-s die
Himmel auf." a song of praise and
supplication. This is a set of loose
variations on a plainsong-Iike theme,
which all come together in typically
Brahmsian rich harmony at the end.
Impressive here were the percussive,
powerful entries from all voices, and the
big sound which was reea!ed almost for
the first time.
The last section of the concert was on
a much lighter note. Vecchi's "Fa una
canzone," with itsdiiiicuit cross-rhythms
and great range of dynamic expression
1 was perhaps sung with a little less care
than some of the other pieces, but the
slightly rough edges went unnoticed in
the exuberance and liveliness the Choir
gave it. Gibbon's "Silver Swan" is a

bringing the concert to an end. gave sDme
evidence of a tiring choir, but the
intensity and mood of the concert was
sustained.
The last item of the evening was a new
Alma Mater, written by Dr. Hoggard. I
am not an aficionado of Alma Maters, but
this one seemed a let better than most,
with at least some relevant and different
words and some interesting music.
After almost two years of listening to
and performing with the Choir, I can
confidently say I have never heard them
sing so consistently well. This concert was
a joy. and 1 know that the University, the
State and North America could not be
better represented in Austria this
summer. I just hope this University and
this State have enough presence of mind
to make sure they get there.

Whittemore. a junior from

members cf the Choir to help raise
money for their trip to Grcz as Resident
Choir of the Graz International Youth

S50 and each floor donated S15. for a
total contribution of SI 40 "We hope
that each residence college will do the
same." Whitterncre said.
During exam week. Whitterncre plans
to visit other members of the RCF to see
if they will allocate any of their left-over
funds. "If each floor donated SI 5. that
would work out to a little more than a
dime per person," he explained. Anyone

The Choir made over Se-00 from both
of last night's concerts, but they need to
raise about $ 26.COQ more before thev can
go to G:n. Presently, they have $2(3.000
in their fund. Match Simpson. Choir
president, said each Choir member ha
been asied to try and raise $150 through
donations dunr.g May and June." If they
reach this goal, that would add another
$10,000 to the fund. He also mentioned
that they would be contacting businesses
and alumni to help contribute.
"The Choir will be m Chapel Hill on
July 1 for eight days of intensive
rehearsing - it will be a period of work
and of relaxing with one another in
preparation for our trip." Simpson noted.
They n ill give a concert in Hill Hall on
July S and are scheduled to leave for
