, Ciara! gl'0Ul95 ' The work of this year's choral group has surpassed that done in previous years in Leb- anon High. One large chorus was organized from Chorus I, Chorus II, and the Girls' Chorus. The Final ensemble consisted of three hundred and twenty-five voices. The first appearance of the organization was the Gaul Dedication Concert on Novem- ber 22. This was advertised as a return en- gagement of Dr. Gaul, but because of illness, he was unable to be present. Both the chorus and the public were greatly disappointed, for Dr. Gaul had planned to conduct his own compositions, two of which he had dedicated to Miss Kleinfelter and the Lebanon High Chorus. Since Dr. Gaul could not conduct, Miss Kleinfelter took his place. A high spot in the program was Adele Fehr Kadel, pianist. Previous to the Gaul Concert, the Chorus appeared in three broadcasts, sponsored by the United Welfare Drive. Among the num- bers used were selections from Gounod's Gallia, I Hear America Singing by Gaul, and a choral-piano arrangement of Sibelius' Finlandia,,' for which Thomas Shaak played the piano solo. The radio broadcast originated in the Lebanon High School auditorium and was transmitted by WEEU Reading. The next big event was a Christmas con- cert that was given with the cooperation of the English Department. A continuous pro- gram of song and melody was presented, while on the stage living pictures of world- famous paintings of Madonnas were shown. The final formal appearance of the large chorus was made on April 23 at the Spring Concert. Goring Thomas' Sun Worshippersu was presented with Pauline Kunst Helms, soprano, and Howard Phillippy, tenor, as soloists. The Sun Worshippers was pre- sented in a serious mood, while the Gilbert and Sullivan dream operetta, All at Seaf' was in a lighter one. All the roles in the latter were sung by chorus members. The Chorus gave a dance on March 7. About 325 members and guests attended the gala affair despite the snowy weather. Hook- eri' Smith and his orchestra played from eight to eleven o'clock. The dance Hoor was occu- pied all the time, but for the non-dancers games were provided. During intermission the awards for highest ticket sales to the Harvey Gaul Concert were made. This party was so successful that another will be held next year, if the choral work merits one. Another choral group that had a successful season was the A Cappella Choir. The mem- bers of this organization were selected by competition from the other choral groups. The A Cappella group consisted of eighty- three voices and was the only ensemble to appear in gowns. The first appearance made by the A Cap- pella Choir was in the rendition of The Bul- garian Straw Caroli' by Gaul at the Dedica- tion Concert on November 22. This number and On the Ragin Canawl were the con- ductor's specially dedicated numbers. On the Saturday preceding Christmas the A Cappella Choir sang carols at the First National Bank. They presented a program of song at one of the Harding Iunior High School assemblies and at the first joint meet- ing of the County Youth Democracy Society on February 27 at the Harding Iunior High School. The A Cappella group journeyed to Atlan- tic City on May 3 and 4 to participate in the Region 4 Competitive Festival held in con- nection with the Eastern District of Music Educators' Convention. The Choir left Leba- non on Saturday, May 3. After they had been rated, they took part in a combined concert. At the event were the best orchestras, bands, and choruses from the whole Eastern Music District of the United States. After the dele- gates, concert in the Municipal Auditorium, the choir returned to their hotel and had all of Sunday free. There is no doubt that this jaunt for business and pleasure was the high spot of the musical year.
