lton's 'Prelude' Opens--program highlighted by a suly well done "Ballad for cans," but not entirely free its touches of mediocrity was fering of the University Sym- Orchestra to an audience ofximately 3,000 in Hoch audii last night.
allad For Americans' Highlights Symphony Concert
By JOHN CONARD
orchestra opened the program a highly expressive and symmetric presentation of Prof. Chas. silton's "Prelude to Electra" lization of the composer's reelath was keenly conveyed to audience through the music. we safe in saying that never he has such absolute and stead- contact been established between an orchestra and an audience in Hoch auditorium.
Relaxing, or perhaps rebounding, from the strain of the first number, the orchestra fell somewhat out of pitch and tempo on the first movement of Dvorak's symphony in E Minor, "From the New World." It seemed that there was too large a gap between the bass section of the orchestra and the higher string section.
In the Largo movement "Goin' Home," however, the orchestra warmed to its task, and a fine degree of cooperation and unity was shown among all parts of the orchestra. The outstanding feature of the entire number was Director
Karl Kuersteiner's excellent control of orchestral volume. Strains of music swelled and fell, with each instrument retaining perfectly its sound relationship within the group. Fuller Shines
Lorenzo Fuller, fine arts senior, almost stole the show from the symphony orchestra. His solo part in "De Glory Road" (Wolfe) was full of feeling, giving fine regard to expressive details throughout. His enunciation was perfect in all the difficult number, and his rich voice on the sustained notes would have done justice to any professional.
"Ballad for Americans" was definitely the high mark of the program. The ballad, based on the four high spots of American history, required the utmost in cooperation between the solo and background groups, and the cooperation was present. Fuller, although a bass, sang the higher baritone notes of the ballad with perfect ease and clarity. Serenaders A Hit
Fuller's work with the Modern Choir and Symphony Orchestra in
Animals Are Coming" arranged "by us" was exceptionally good.
The K.U. Serenaders, a Negro quartet, made a definite hit with the audience when they sang "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho." The Serenaders were called to sing two encores, "The Animals Are Coming" and "Rock of My Soul." A special version of "The
---Fuller Vocals Shine
"Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair" is turning a dish-water blond, all right. The Glenn Bacon arrangement was different; so much different, in fact, that only in rare places could we recognize dear Jeannie. The cellos saved the day for the number, however, breaking in with their lower tones upon the established monotony of the violin.
Percy Grainger's number, "Hendel in the Strand" was a right snappy piece of clog dance rhythm, with Erna and Olga Carl, fine arts juniors, beautifully coordinating on the two solo pianos.
