Schmidt Thrills Eager Audience
A more than enthusiastic capacity audience recalled Reinhold Schmidt, bass-baritone, for four curtain calls last night at a song recital devoted to music of the baroque period presented in Strong Hall auditorium.
Prof. Schmidt, former star of opera, oratorio, concert stage and radio and now head of the department of voice, captured his audience with his flowing legato passages and his rich voice, which he played like a stringed instrument.
In the "Cantata for Bass, Piano and Strings" by Buxtehude, Herr Schmidt sang in the original German. Marian Jersild, assistant professor of piano, pianist; Raymond Cerf, professor of viola, violinist; George Green, instructor of music theory, violinist; Karel Blas, assistant professor of music theory, violinist, and Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of cello, cellist, assisted Prof. Schmidt.
Five English baroque songs demonstrated to the audience Prof. Schmidt's excellent enunciation. He is as clearly understandable in German and Italian as in English.
Two cantatas, "Che Dite" and "Titano all' Inferno" (Titan in Hell) by Caldara are exemplary of the irregularity of harmonic and rhythmic organization of the 17th-18th century baroque style. Prof. Schmidt more-than-adequately executed passages in which there were more than two-octave jumps to the delight of the audience.
The two arias and two recitatives of the religious "Cantata No. 56" by Bach were sensitively sung by Mr. Schmidt and the cantata was climaxed by the chorale "Come O Death, and End My Voyage" sung by Merrilyn Coleman, Frankfort senior; Bonnie Dinsmore, Overland Park junior; Carolyn Craft, Junction City senior; Beverly Runkle, Pittsburg junior; Mike Grove, Larned junior; Bruce Voran, Kinsley sophomore; Jack Davison, Bolivar, Mo., junior, and Joe Lewis, Russell sophomore.
