Choirsters Heard
In ’Great Music
Of the Church’
By Alice Eversman
The New York Avenue Presby
terian Church Choir gave its pro
gram of "Great Music of the
Church” last night in Constitution
Hall for the benefit of Emergency
Overseas Relief Committee of the
Washington Federation of Churches.
The concert was sponsored by the
St. Andrews (Scottish) Society of
Washington and directed by Charles
Dana Beaschler, whose choice of
numbers reflected the spirit of the
benefit.
The red-robed choristers, number
ing 160 members, formed a circle
of several tiers at the back of the
stage, with the fore part occupied
by the excellent ensemble drawn
from the National Symphony Or
chestra. The orchestral accompani
ment was augmented by the organ,
played by William Watkins, organist
of the First Congregational Church,
and by Karlian Meyer, pianist, who
is also organist of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Geoffrey O’Hara’s arrangement of
"The Star Spangled Banner” opened
the program, the choral setting of
the national anthem introducing
new harmonies into the melody that
carried it beyond even the familiar
uncomfortable range but which
showed off the voices to advantage.
So well balanced are the choral sec
tions and of such uniformity in
quality tnat the singers produce an
orchestral volume and richness of
! sound.
iney are excenenuy trained in
effects and have a wide range of
dynamics at command that reach
the final tonal mellowness, however,
in the pianissimo and mezzoforte
passages. The group of anthems:
Wood's “Expectants, Expectavi,"
Jennings’ “Springs in the Desert,”
Baker's “O Lord God, Unto Whom
Vengeance Belongeth,” were numbers
demanding expert vocal tinting and
in these the skill of the group was
fully apparent. “Ye Nations, Offer to
the Lord,” from Mendelssohn’s
"Hymn of Praise,” and the "Sanc
tus,” from Verdi’s "Requiem,” drew
forth the splendid power of the en
semble with the sopranos carrying
the high register with surety and
purity of tone.
The soloist of the program was
the Australian baritone, Robert C.
Nicholson, whose superb voice and
musicianship disclosed the full
beauty of the “Offertorio” and the
"Motetto” from Sgambati's "Messa
da Requiem.” He was also heard in
solo portions in the anthems.
The “Adagio” and “Allegro” from
Handel's organ “Concerto No. 10”
was played by Mr. Watkins with
orchestral accompaniments and he
was heard later in Simmonds’ “Do
rian Prelude” and Dupre’s “Prelude
and Fugue in G minor.” His per
formance was admirable for its
clarity in phrasing and for tech
nical smoothness, his registration in
the concerto in particular being
varied and colorful.
The program concluded with "Be
hold God the Lord” from Mendels
sohn’s “Elijah,” the “Kyrie Eleison”
from Bach's "Mass in B Minor,”
“Worthy Is the Lamb” from Han
del's “The Messiah,” the spirituals:
Dawson's “Galm in Gilead,” in
