It is a beautiful work, impressive, churchly, yet with the powerful dramatic quality that one would e from the pen of the master of Italian opera writers. It invites subtle, mysterious setting and costuming with artistic lighting, such as the Germans have developed to make it perfect. The presentation last night in simple choral concert form was one of the finest things that Washington has produced in the musical fleld in the last, few years. of this choir, deserves a double portion of appreciation for his courage and initiative in working out so well pre- pared a preduction of so dignified and John Marville, director | LLivavorraaa, singers, embellishing what otherwise might become monotonous vocal pas- sages at times, and giving subdued sug- gestion of volume as a background for the more brilliant moments of song. The “Tuba Mirum,” or trumpet chorus, was an unusual feature last night. A climax of mysterious powef was bullt up by this interpretation of “the last loud trumpet's spreading tone,” by the trumpeters stationed at various points in the church. The instrumental work was well done. ‘The chorus was admirable in smooth- ness of phrasing and balance of tone. ‘With the Bach oir of Bethlehem still fresh in the memory, one felt that. in time, when Mr. Marville's choir also has sung festival music for nearly a quar- ter of a century, Washington certainly should have an equally fine choral or- ganization, probably of equal numbers and traditions. Such works as this “Requiem” and the “Stabat Mater” of Rossini which was given a couple of seasons ago certainly are laying a splen- did and solid foundation for this choir's development. ‘The guest soloist last night was Ed- ward Austen Kane, the young American tenor, who won the last national audi- di .
