‘Every seat seemed to be taken in World War. Memorial auditorium last night for the first public concert of the Indianapolis Bach choir. Directed by G. Fred Holler and assisted by Bomar Cramer as piano soloist, the newly organized choir presented an ambitious beginning

program, With Paul R. Fidlar as accompanist, the choir began with the motet, “Come, Jesu, Come,” a work written for double choir and not too often heard nowadays. An active membership of around

50 singers limits the choir at present to what purists assert is the correct degree of volume and balance for Bach choral interpretation. May~

be my taste has been impaired by

hearing larger groups, but I still think a bigger chorus sounds more impressive. Bach is difficult. Mr. Holler, hotever, has done amazingly good things with his chorus. With more training, especially in the matter of clear ,voice-entries in that poly~ phonic complexity, the choir should make a great contribution to local music, I'm sorry to have had to miss the choir's other two spots in the program, a group of Bach chorales and a Brahms motet, Mr, Cramer's classical group of solos (Leo, Scarlatti, Bach-Busoni

and ' Lully - Godowsky) showed his!

229 Mass. Ave.

By HENRY BUTLER The ovprtones of that choir. from the Rev.’ Fr. Flanagan's Boystown are not merely musical. For the choir, which sang last (night at the Murat under the auspices of the Maridn County Juvenile Center auxiliary, sang plenty of lessons for all of us. Those youngsters are earnest and serious about their music. Under the guidance of the Rev. Fr. Francis Schmitt, whose sincerity and simplicity are reflected in the boys’ attitude towards him, the choir sang clear and true. Late arrival (previous assignment) prevented my hearing the ecclesiastical portion of the program (Lotti, Palestrina, M. Haydn, Franck and Faure). Choral arrangements of Brahms’ Sixth Hungarian dance and some Johann Strauss were pleasing but, I judge, less satisfying. What Fr. Schmitt and his singers did with Burleigh’s treatment “cf “Deep River” and, an effective version of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” showed the best qualities of the ensemble. The soprano sectiqp is best, as is often the case witll boys’ choirs. Deeper voices, not yet changed long enough to have power and assurance, have to depend on numbers rather than diaphragms, But for pitch and quality and good taste, as in the singing of Gershwin's “Summer Time,” the choir is remarkably fine.

Best of all, the intent expressions, the evident interest in producing good music were something to notice. The Boystown choir told me more about Boystown ang its atmosphere than I would try to express in words. Such good training, such fine results are the best possible tribute to Fr. Flanagan's, as well as Fr. Schmitt's, work. There was a fairly good audience, last night. The house should have been packed.
