Critic Evaluates Concert Of
Helen Phillips In
BY CARL DITON FOR ANP
NEW YORK (ANP) In another
one of its community cultural ges
tures, St. Mark's Methodist church
presented soprano Helen Phillips,
formerly of St. Louis, last week.
Miss Phillips fulfilled all the ex
pectations arising from the her
alding of previous performances.
Her lyric voice, capable too of
eolorature, is surprisingly even
thruout its lengthy range, rich and
full at the bottom and of pearl
like consistency at the top. Her
approach to tile text is most in
telligent
The flexiblity of her lips lends
greatly to the poetic quality of
her diction. The emotional drive
of her utterances is so intense that
even in a little expression like "1
faint" which occurred in her open
lt»g song, she could not stem it.
IPhen, too, a revolving posture
speaks well for Miss Phillips' pos
sibilities in opera, wMch calls for
bodily movement.
The singer's first effort consist
ed of Dowland's "Come Again"
"Sweet Love" and'Bach's "Sigh
ing, Weeping". Stage announce
ments are rarely satisfactory be
cause of inaudibility, especially
when they are in foreign tongues
Fortunately we were close enough
to catch Galuppi's "E Viva Rosa
Bella" sung in place of Mozart's
"Allelujah".
Robert Schaffifttm's "Seft feh Uita
Gesehen" and "Er Der Herrlich
ate von Allen", followed. Here
Kiss Phillips sought to guard
against interruption thru applause
by announcing that these songs
were from the master's "Lieben

and Leben" song cycle. After
these, she sang Ich Grolle Nicht
and Brahms' "Wir Wandolten and
Meine Liebfe ist Gruen". The aria
L'Altra Notte" from Boito's Me
fistofelo" marked the end of the
first part of the program.
From then on, th musical in
terest seemed to lag somewhat.
Perhaps it was due to a throat
irritation that persisted thruout
the evening.
Connoisseurs
may
differ as to
final sounds of German words but
we are fairly certain that a round
er and more penetrating resonance
of Miss Phillips' French vowels
would add much to her already
ideally matured art. This was un
fortunately lacking in Widor's "A1
bayde". Staub's "L'Heure Delici
ous" and Faure's "Flour Jetee".
After singing Samuel Barber's
"Sleep Again", Hoist's "Heart':
Worship" and John Work Jr.'
"Soliloquy", the little throat an
noyance forced the singer to leave
the ptage for a moment. Upon re
turning, the program came to

conclusion- with William Grant
Still's "Here's One", Work's "This
Little Light of Mine" and the
late Dett's "Ride On, Jesus".
There were many encores includ
ing "Vio Le Sapete" from Mas
cagni's "Cavalleria Rusticanna".
Kelly Wyatt gave accompaniment
al support.
Incidentally, We may never know
the incalcuable" impetus the Negro
church gave Negro musical art ii4
years past. Since there are so
many well-established Negro
churches today, would it not be a
fine sequel to' continue that en
couragement by presenting those
among Negro musical artists who
have achieved successful, accredit
ed downtown debuts?
