WORDS My Mother has the prettiest trick With words and words and words, Her talk comes out as smooth and sleek As breasts of singing-birds. She shapes her speech all silver fine Because she loves it so And her own eyes begin to shine To hear her stories grow. God wove a web of loveliness Of flowers and trees and birds But made not anything at all Sb beautiful as words They are as fair as bloom or air They shine like any star And I am rich who learned from her How beautiful they are. 30

The Conservatory of Music (Including Department of Speech and Drama) In affiliation with 9 The Toronto Conservatory of Music Director MTRIL S. MOSSOP, A.T.C.M., L.T.C.L. During the year 1946-47 Mount Royal ollege Conservatory of Music has widened Jjwphere of influence and attracted students om all parts of Alberta, with some students pining even from points in British Columbia ad Saskatchewan. The Conservatory has ijoyed a most successful season, due in large leasure to the outstanding faculty of dis- pguished musicians and to the director, Mr. Hi Mossop. The enrollment of new students H been exceptionally large, which in itself | eaks well for the high standard of training ven at the Conservatory. In fact, Mount ti|jal College offers facilities for music students iual to those of the leading institutions of last urn Canada and the United States. I Students are prepared for the examinations j the Toronto Conservatory of Music; the BBOciated Board of the Royal Academy and pyal College of London, England: and also if the Western Board music examinations, filiated with the University of Alberta. Many judents enter for both the local and Provincial jical Festivals. During the past several i students of the Conservatory have gained high marks and commendation from out- ,s|ffliing adjudicators such as Dr. Staten, rJPeaker, Arthur Benjamin, Professor Col- igwood and others. The Mount Royal College Symphony Or- estra, under the able and expert direction of ayton Hare, has achieved the standard of any professional orchestras. During the rrent season the enthusiastic members of 3 fine orchestra have attempted and success- Uy played exacting compositions such as Hdelssohn’s “Italian Symphony’’ and Ungal’s Cave overture, Mozart’s “Jupiter fmphony” and Cesar Frank’s “Symphonic Imtions”. This season has witnessed the tuguration of a Theatre Symphonic series four concerts for the season, held in the and Theatre, to which the public has well lajnded. Talented advanced students of the ijRervatory are given the opportunity of maring as soloists with the orchestra at Hus concerts. Me Mount Royal College Junior Orchestra, (■directed by Clayton Hare, has made great ides during the past season, both in regard size and accomplishments. Besides giving afternoon concerts at no less than five of Calgary’s public schools, they also gave two very successful public performances, and gained high praise at the 1946 Musical Festival. This orchestra, which rehearses once a week, affords a very valuable means of training younger students in orchestral technique and ensemble playing. The immense value of ensemble playing cannot be overstressed; it contributes substantially to any student’s practical music¬ ianship, developing a keener eye, ear and general co-ordination. Among the many attractive features of great benefit to the music student at the Conservatory, are the frequent concerts and recitals that are given during the year in the college Audi¬ torium. Important works of the great masters, instrumental, vocal and ensemble are performed by students and professional musicians. These concerts and recitals are a real advantage to the student as he has the opportunity of hearing and becoming acquainted with many musical works, as well as the important experience of performing himself. Students from all grades are permitted to perform at special Students’ Recitals, and these are of inestimable benefit, giving an incentive to greater effort on the part of the student and also affording an opportunity of developing self-confidence, essential for a good performance. All possible provision is made for students, especially those studying piano, to gain exper¬ ience in ensemble playing. The periodic Students’ Ensemble Recitals feature two piano ensembles, violin duets and quartettes, and dialogues including scenes from Shakespeare’s Plays by the Speech Department. The Faculty also give a number of Chamber Music Recitals which have become increas¬ ingly popular with the general public. During the past season four excellent and varied pro¬ grammes were given, featuring piano quintettes by Brahms and Dvorak, and readings by members of the Speech Department. Two of these programmes were presented for the Cal¬ gary Women’s Musical Club at Wesley United Church. These Chamber Music Recitals make an important contribution to the musical life of Calgary and the public have attended in large numbers to hear the works of the lesser known composers as well as the masterpiece of the great. Special Theory classes are conducted by Mr. Leonard Leacock, for which there is a small charge. Aural training classes are conducted by Cyril S. Mossop, for which there is no charge to the student. 29
