RETURNED SOLDIERS' CHOIR
Tho undeniable charm of male -voice part_ singing is one that is fully appreciated by true music lovers'. It can be_ sombre, dignified, inspiring, of irresistible power in rhythmic command, clashing in spirit, and buoyant in effect. Such is convincing musiccarrying poetic beauty and melodic charm. The selected numbers for the soldiers’ second concert of the, season include ‘Queen of the Night,’ ‘The Curfew,’ the old favourite hunting song ‘ John Peel,’ ‘ An Evening Lullaby ’ (this a new number of extremely delicate texture), ‘ Awake, H2olian N Lyre,’ ‘Thor’s War Song,’ ‘The Chorus of Pilgrims’ (From ‘ Tannhauser ’), and ‘ La Retraifco ’ (by Laurent De Rille). Lighter vein will be found in ‘ The Laughing Chords,’ Which will complete an attractive selection. The choir will have tho assistance of Miss Irene Horniblow, whose contralto voice- should be heard to decided advantage in ‘ The Restless Sea,’ by Benius-Wilson. An added attraction will be Miss G Smith, who will play two ’cello solos. Both these ladies are new to the returned soldiers’ programme, and are sure ol a warm welcome. The choir soloists are Mr George Crawford, whose choice is ‘Your Tiny Hand is Frozen,’ and Mr T. D. White, who will sing ‘The Yeoman’s Wedding Song.’ Mr John Leech will conduct and Mr C. R Spackman will be the' accompanist.
