University Choir
HE Otago University Music Union | Choir, conducted by John Matheson, may be relied upon for a performance of interesting and unusual music done in a competent and musicianly manner. It was a fine idea to group six of the part-songs composed by Professor V. E. Galway, and present them in a short programme from 4YA. The vigorous freshness of the choral singing was very suited to these lyrically beautiful partsongs, some of which made exacting demands on the choir. Apart from an occasional ruggedness of attack, and a sense of strain on some high notes, the singing was sensitive and carefully phrased and modulated. There was about the whole recital a joyous vitality which marks se much of the work of this group, and it is a long time since singing has provided me with so much sheer enjoyment. LS
