The Daily Tar Heel 5 Adrian Scott hringhaus initiating o o lOlF ItJJlFlllS, ailCiiiCSlCe poor fund drive for Choir Thursday, April 27, 1972 E Q 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. Dearest Carolyn, True love like good wine grows better with age.

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.

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.

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. pocooooooooooccoocooocooocoooooocoocoooooccooooooo M 403 W.
