THE GRUMBLER 81 A Capella Choir John Keeler. A XIII C This year our new director, Mr. Bender, has assembled a few of the outstanding voices of our glee club into what is called an A Capella choir. It is something new in K.C.I. -in fact it is the first to be organ- ied in Ontario high schools. The absence of a capella singers from the roster of school choirs is easily explained by the long, strenuous practice required to obtain the de- sired effect and perfection. Recently a capella singing has been receiving increased attention, due partly to the excellent work of the Bell Choir, which is so compe- tently guided by its founder, Dr. Leslie Bell. The technical and tonal perfection of this choir is un- equalled by any other lady's choir on the continent. In hopes of de- veloping a school choir of superla- tive quality, Mr. Bender has stu- died the methods of Dr. Bell and is directing ours in a similar manner. A capella singing is, literally, singing in the church style . That is, the singing conforms to the sixteenth century ideal of choral music without instrumental accom- paniment. The extreme accuracy of pitch-which cannot be obtained on most instruments-and the great variation of timbre available in unaccompanied singing produce an unique type of music. The eighteen members of K.C.I.'s A Capella Choir are of the four regular ranges, soprano, altor, te- nor, and bass, but frequently each section is sub-divided. Although it is customary for choirs to sing any type of music, be it folksongs or hymns, Bach or Handel, our choir is singing only folksongs. The choir executive consists of John Keeler, Ruth Weltz, Marcia Schofield, the director, Mr. Bender, and the faculty sponsor, Mr. Class. BQHCJQT John Keeler. A Xlll C To the music-loving students of K.C.I., this year's most important addition to the teaching staff is that of Mr. Garfield Bender. Mr. Bender is filling the position of music director, from which Mr. Paul Berg resigned at the close of last year. In this capacity he directs the Orchestra, the Clee Club, and the A Capella Choir, and co-ordinates the music activities of the school. Although he is a freshman at K.C.I., Mr. Bender is no stranger to the community. He was born in Listowel and has spent much of his life in this district, 1'eceiving his musical training at Trinity College. London. Besides his L.T.C.L., Mr. Bender has an honorary degree as a Member of the Royal Society of Teachers, London, England. He has officiated at the competitive music festivals of Peel and of Stratford. Besides his Collegiate duties, Mr. Bender teaches in Kitchener public schools, is the organist and choirmaster of First United Church in Waterloo, directs the Orpheus lVIen's Chorus, and gives private vocal instruction. When asked for his opinion of the musical ability of the students of K.C.I., Mr. Bender said that the available talent is above the aver- age, but a lack of accommodation deprives our young musicians of the opportunities they deserve. Although the system of educa- tion in Ontario Secondary Schools has been progressing in great strides, a revised course, giving more musical training to the stu- dents desiring it, would, according to Mr. Bender, be a tremendous improvement. To better the instruction in K.C.I., Mr. Bender recommends the division of the school orchestra
