The best solo number of the evening was sung by Marv Lynn Lucas, contralto, in "So Sad" by H. T. Burleigh. Other outstanding soloists were Clayton Krebhl, tenor, who sang "Music in the Mine" and Colin Campbell, tenor, who presented "Rise Up Sheep and Folder."
Best presented song of the evening was "Exalation" by Christian-sen. In this jubilantly melodious song, the voices in the choir blended perfectly. "The Earth Is The Lord's" by Nikolsky, a powerful Russian choral piece, was given with great spirit and expression.
Highlighting the program was the first public presentation of "To Music" by Noble Cain, American choral writer and conductor. The piece was written for and dedicated to the University A Cappella choir. Both the audience and the choir stopped the show to applaud the composer, who came here from Chicago to hear his work. Lyrics for "To Music" were written by Robert Herrick, the Elizabeth poet.
