iV- r i I J- v r i The Hound By WITH and PIANO When fiegimilng to I- warned- Beware superla tives How well I have heeded this through the years can hardly say but in writing the Canadian Concert Association of Newmarkets program of Decem ber am going to treat this warning with the contempt it deserves and use all the care to use From their effective opening to their ghostly finale the Song- men held their audience in a de lightful reciprocity of giving and receiving enjoyment Very effective was David magpie effect of black and white against the dove grey and black of his but more effective was his art in drawing from them the music which carried us away on wings of song The first group of songs gave us a chance to realize the did balance of tone its flexi bility precision and its capabili ties of taking listeners with the singers whether they were hunting passing by or rolling down to Rio Their next group of songs touched a chord which never fails to vibrate for the pathos which is the negro heritage from years of slavery the humor which survived it and the simple piety which pervades all spir ituals have an appeal peculiar to themselves In his folk songs Mr terlong included one of Scotland which was not on the program but which was given because he had been accused of neglect ing that nation The interpre tation of these folk songs was an intriguing bit of work It is a strange thing that from lands close together should come songs differing so widely The English folk songs have a madrigal quality which seemed to be peculiar to Merrie Eng land the Scots have the and loneliness of the highland hills in their composition while the Irish have the devil-may- care attitude that seems able to triumph over all their heart burnings It says much for a conductor that he can play on the emotions of his singers and draw forth the response in mood and tone color which gave this program its appeal for every listener the applause In their last group the Song- men gave delightful color to Mexican Czech and Jamaican songs I suppose it is trite to say that we all do well what we like to do and no one could lis ten to David Ouchterlony and his and doubt for a moment that they loved to sing It colored their expression vocal and facial and in no time it drew the audience into the warmth and glow of this love We basked in it and like so many Oliver Twists kept asking for more more And now the curtains close but the memory of the sweet sounds lingers still The charming young golden- gowned pianist Dorothy John son appeared twice on the pro gram first in four numbers by Chopin then in three by Deb ussy In the first Chopin number Miss Johnston did not show her fine technique and interpretative ability but in the Nocturne in sharp minor the flowing quality became ap parent and in the Etudes Op No I and Op N there ARMITAGE fej Dont forget the old time dance at the Bluebird on Friday Dec Glad to report Margie Cook is back to school her tonsil The

lighter and soninlaw Mf Mrs Lewis until after Christmas when they go York to visit Mr Browns sisters On January they leave for and Ireland sailing on the Queen Mary and plan to re turn after the coronation was a of touch and a brilliancy of execution that de lighted her hearers The first Debussy numbers were descriptive in character and were finely interpreted The brilliantly climaxed Miss Johnsons part of the pro gram She responded gracefully to an encore It is delightful to realize how brightly these young artists shine in the musical sky After the concert was over the artists were entertained by the choir of Trinity United church Over coffee and de lightful confections we made the acquaintance of the performers Needless to say this was a pleasure for according to Ar chies and my experience true artists are the kindliest people in the world and so for an hour pleasure reigned supreme then home and to bed Zephyr News The Newmarket Era and Express Thursday Bee Mr David Graham
