SEN THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1986 2 r MALE SINGERS GET GENERAL APPLAUSE ~ PROM BIG AUDIENCE Songs Chosen and Happy Mood of Singers Strike Fancy of Audience at Festival | En ee Comments heard as the audience of | some 700 persons filed out of the Bis- marek city auditorium after hearing the first song festival of the Bismarck Men’s chorus Thursday evening stamp the organization of 50 voices, | directed by Ralph Warren Soule, as} a leading musical influence in the city despite its short career. The listeners were thoroughly satis- fied and gave evidence of their en- thusiasm with warm applause. The frank avowal of the singers’ purpose—to sing what they like and have fun doing it—creates a cheerful atmosphere among the performers and it was communicated immediate- ly to the audience. The old familiar songs on the program were known to all and they were made the more en- Joyable because they were expertly interperted by persons whom every- body in the audience knows. A casual glance over the chorus reveals its varied personnel—judge, teacher, tail- or, newspaper editor, railway mail clerk, engineer, storekeeper, auto salesman, doctor and many others, all there because they like to sing. Conquer Tricky Composition “Winter Song,” tricky almost to the point of being a tongue-twister, opened the program and was given a Polished interpretation to which the splendid tenor section gave no small contribution. Technically, this was one of the concert highlights. The audience called for more of “Kentucky Babe” which moved easily and was projected with finish. “The Heidelberg Stein Song,” which offered more in the way of difficulty, was masterfully handled and was followed with “Sweet and Low.” “Goin’ Home,” concluding the first grouping, was notable for the balance achieved in voice blending, the fine work of the bass section and the rousing climax achieved in the chorus lines. It brought forth sustained applause. Robert Kling, one of two young artists Presented in the concert, played the Plano score for this number, others up to this time being sung without ®@ccompaniment. Present Young Artists Leo Halloran and Kling with their brilliant violin and piano interpreta- tions brought the needed touch of variety and both added to their al- Teady enviable reputations as per- formers. Halloran, who was accom- panied by Clarion E. Larson at the pi- ano, gave “Polish Dance” by Severn and for his encore chose “Norwegian Dance” by Grieg. Kling offered “On the Mountains” by Grieg and as an| ~ encore played a piano arrangement of the novelty, “Turkey in the Straw.” The western medley with which the chorus opened the second part of the Program reached its height in the swinging rendition of “The Oregon Trail” and the listeners would not bz satisfied without more. Larson was at the piano. Arrangements of the three songs, “Boots and Saddles,” “Wagon Wheels” and “The Oregon ‘Trail” were written for the chorus by Soule and the particularly happy ar- rangement of the last mentioned song undoubtedly was responsible for the ease with which it was delivered by the chorus. Each section was brought out clearly and in the most effective manner. Sing Ambitious Works “The Bells of St. Mary's” put the eingers back on more familiar ground and the concert moved to a happy close with two of the most ambitious efforts, “Deep River” and “Lullaby and Good Night,” both of which were creditably sung. Lowering of the light and of the curtain during the “Lullaby” lent an artistic touch. It would be thoughtless not to praise the uniform appearance of the sing- ers achieved through wearing dark suits and black ties and the beautiful eetting created with the grey cyclor- ama curtains recently purchased for the auditorium. Since frankness concerning their ‘work so far has marked the attitude of the men singers, it should not be ‘amiss to suggest that in future pro- grams, when there has been mor? than s few scant months in which to Jearn to sing with each other, there be more of variety in repertoire, that rough spots most notable in the first teror section be eliminated and that words in the hands of singers be @bolished during performances. Attendance Bespeaks Approval The size of the audience Thursday night proves conclusively that the Capital City has a large number otf Persons from all walks of life who like to hear the old songs and who wii! pay money and leave their home in bad weather to patronize singers who will comply with that wish, The chorus expects to have a pro- gtam of sacred selections ready on or about Easter Sunday and that musi- cale should be an eagerly awaited event among local music-lovers.

Usher L. Burdick, North Dakota Re- publican, served notice Friday he would keep his hands off the gover- norship race in North Dakota until after the Nonpartisan League endors- ing convention. “I haven't the time, nor do I think I have the right to tell the people of North Dakota whom they should run for governor,” he said in commenting on the league's possible nominee. “I shall be willing, of course, to discuss these candidates who are candidates when the primary election is on.” In the same statement, Burdick in- dicated he would be a candidate for te-election. Asserting he had voted with the president when he thought he was right and criticised him when he believed him wrong, Burdick said: “That is my record and if not ap- proved by the voters of North Dakota I shall be delighted to relinquish the job to more capable hands.” He said he was not telling the League convention he shoutd be nomi- nated or that it should “nominate this or that man” for governor. “That showld be left to the dele- gates. They should be ieft free to do whatever the people who sent them to the convention desire to have done,” he said. PRESIDENT TAFT'S | SON WILL OPPOSE BORAH IN OHIO RAGE Farley Says Roosevelt Will Win More Electoral Votes This | Year Than in '32 Washington, Feb. 28.—(4)—Launch- ing of a “favorite son” campaign in Ohio against Senator Borah’s presi- dential candidacy Friday coincided with publication of a letter in which Borah sharply attacked such moves. Not long after the Republican state central committee of Ohio had se- lected Robert A. Taft, son of the late president, to wage a primary struggle with Borah, the latter's letter was made public. It did not, however, refer to Taft's candidacy particularly. (It was writ- ten before the candidacy became known.) “I am not attacking the Republi- can party... Wants Open Convention “I am insisting upon an open na- tional convention, upon the selection of delegates by the voters as nearly as practicable rather than the old system in which the people were de- nied practically all voice in the selec- tion of their president—the old sys- tem of uninstructed delegates, favor- ite sons, and bartering and trading for candidates at the convention.” Taft, notified of his election by Ohio Republican leaders, declared he “deeply appreciated the honor con- ferred upon him.” While the Republican pace quick- ened in Ohio, that state was one of those listed by Chairman James A.
