Show Salt Lake Singers Deliver Wonderful Musical Concert Music that lifted the hearts of everyone to heights of better understanding, under-standing, was beautifully rendered by the Salt Lake Symphony singers in the stake -tabernacle Sunday night. The main floor of the auditorium audi-torium was well filled and even; though applause was not in order, it rang with a more sincere note in the hearts of all present. Lies Goates, a former Alpine stake member,- and conductor of the chorus, chor-us, led the large group in a brief visit to the land where troubles fade and cares are forgotten for a time. In a short talk he compared music with the humble barn swallow, which is a symbol of grace and light n.otian. As the swallow moves from place to place with, an unbelievable ease of motion, so music will lead j the soul from the heights of joy to i the deepest of sorrow. It expresses I hope and disappointments, love and I solitude- Even as a prayer eases j the heavy soul of its cares, so can !a song coming straight from the heart. Wallace Cotter, concert organist and accompanist for the entire program, pro-gram, gave a rare musical treat with special numbers on the organ. The Barton sisters, with violin and cello, played two very good numbers. Zola Jacobs McGhie, soloist of the group, held the entire audience with her Norwegian echo song, depicting the girl calling home the cows. On request she sang "The Last Rose of Summer." With equal appreciation was the duet numbers of Red Ros-j Ros-j val, tenor, and Grace Anderson, contralto, con-tralto, enjoyed- The trio number by Elsie Nordberg, soprano; Erma Stef-fensen, Stef-fensen, mezzo soprano, and Helen Robinson, contralto, and the chorus numbers with Helen Salzner, contralto, con-tralto, and Elsie Nordberg, soprano, soloists, were of a high musical standard. The people of this community com-munity are looking forward to again hearing the music of this talented orgianization. |
