Sons of Art
LTHOUGH the studio recital by the Dunedin R.S.A. Choir was advertised as consisting of one work, the short Mendelssohn cantata To. the Sons of Art, it proved to consist of a halfhour of mixed part-songs, between two of which the Mendelssohn was unsuitably sandwiched. A far more effective atrangement would have placed the Mendelssohn last, rightly reserved for the place of honour and a fitting climax. The choit was in fine form and sang with clean attack and an ease and gusto, in the part-songs, which comes with long familiarity with the music. The Mendelssohn, a setting of words by | Schiller, was given a dramatic presentation with impressive use of light and shade. Full credit must go to the choir for its clear enunciation; every word was audible-possibly. due to the fact that this was a studio performance, and not a relay from a public concert.
