Mr. Wagner's group comes to Ogden under the direction of the National Association of Community Concerts and under the co-sponsorship of the Ogden Community and Weber College Concert Association. The association endeavors to provide the finest numbers available for the cultural growth of the community. The Chorale has presented both standard and popular musical programs to capacity audiences in large and small cities from the East to the West. The Newspapers say: "Fantastically versatile. The best choral group of its kind, and probably of any kind in America. Perhaps the best in the world." (Louisville, Kentucky.) "They would have kept the Chorale on stage all night if Mr. Wagner hadn't cried mercy after seven enoores!"- (Dubuque, Louisiana.) "With the Roger Wagner Chorale, one may distinguish the separate parts with finest clarity- This ensemble is capable of exquisite lightness and a noble plasticity that is alive and radiant!" (Paris, France.) "Scoring for the Concert Band" is the title of Dr. Clair W. Johnson's new college textbook and companion workbook which will be distributed throughout the United States. Dr Johnson composer of over 200 published compositions and arrangements for bands and orchestras and music division chairman of Weber College, has designed his book to- enable those who write or arrange for the modern concert band to apply methods and practices proved successful by the masters of present and past periods. Praised By Editor In the editor's preface of the book, Fredrick Westphal said that the "publication of this book is welcomed by the many teachers and directors who have found Dr. Johnson's compositions land arrangements both practical and musical, ,as well as by his many students for whom he is a stimulating and creative teacher and musician." Dr. Johnson has had a distinguished career in music as a band director in high schools and colleges, along with being a composer and arranger. There are few bands who have not played his works.
