Don Cossack Chorus Captures Audience
Arkansas leads the nation in the production of red gum, oak and hickory lumber.

Their first chord was loud and in perfect pitch.
This beginning captured the attention of the audience and set the pace for the Don Cossack Chorus concert Friday night in Hoch Auditorium.
The Cossacks sang Russian liturgical numbers and folk songs, and their own enjoyment of the music spread to the audience. They sang with an enthusiasm and love for their music that few choruses have. The pure, high falsetto of the tenors and the deep organ tones of the bassos gives the chorus a tremendous range seldom heard in male singers.
Wearing Cossack uniforms and hand-made boots, the men stood like soldiers, the first row with arms behind their backs and the second with arms folded. When asked why they stood this way, one of the original members of the chorus, W. Magnuschevsky, said:
"We're soldiers and we want to look like them. We have adjusted
our breathing so we can stand in this position."
To this reviewer the outstanding numbers were the "First Psalm of David," a magnificent liturgical number originally sung in the Kievo-Pechersky Monastery of Old Russia; Gretchaninoff's "Credo," and "Caucasian Melody," arranged by the choir's conductor, Sergel Jaroff. All were masterpieces of rich polyphonic harmony that gave full play to the wide range of the voices.
Russian dances by agile N. Bochko and V. Sazepin, whose legs seemed to be made of steel springs, awed the audience, which splattered applause all during the numbers. The squatting, duck-walk steps and fierce leaps were typical of the fiery Cossack spirit.
