Brahms' "Requiem," often called the German composer's most important choral work, will he presented by the University Singers at 5 p.m. Sunday, April 2 Dr. Arthur K. Westbrook will direct the program, which will be given at First Plymouth Con gregational church. Soloists ap pearing with the 120-voice choir will be Jeanne Wood, soprano, and Dale Ganz, baritone. Miss Wood, a voice senior, is president of Delta Omicron, mus ic sorority, and also heads the School of Music's intersorority council. Voice Instructor Ganz, a university voice in structor, sang the solo part in the 1948 Singers presentation of the "Requiem. " He has been so loist several times in the "Mes siah" and "The Creation." While a student he also took the leads in several University opera pro ductions The soprano solo, "Yea, I Will Comfort You, As One Whom His Mother Comforteth," which Miss Wood will sing, was written by Brahms following the death of his mother. This selection was added to the "Requiem," which Brahms had completed after 13 years sporadic work. Deeply affected by the death of Robert Schumann, he had begun the work in 1856. "Ein Deutches Requiem" (A Gorman Requiem), as Brahms originally entitled the work, is not a conventional requiem in the liturgical sense. The text is his own choice of passages from Luther's translation of the Bible. The music belies Brahms' oft repeated statement that he had no belief in life after death. Traditional The "Requiem" was well re ceived two vcars ago when it was presented by the University Singers at the traditional Palm Sunday concert. It is being sung again this year. Dr. Westbrook said, because there have been so many requests for a repeat per formance. Because it requires an organ accompaniment, the "Requiem" will be sung at First Plymouth Congregational church, where adequate facilities are available. Myron Roberts, organ instruc tor at the University, will accom pany the group and also plav Roger's "Benedictus" as an in troduction. The public is invited to the concert.

Hours for the final trials cast ing will be 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Anyone wishing to try out is urged to meet in Room 20 Tem ple, at that time. , The play, which resembles very much "She Stoops to Conquer," another comedy, will employ, ac cording to Williams, actors who can show ease of movement and a good deal of poise. The reason for such specifica tions, said Williams, is due to the fact that the atmosphere to be brought out must be typically lllth century British and witty. In this sort of setting, movement and poise virtues are most de sired. Rita Shaw, will known star of the theater a few years ago and leading lady of "Joan of Lor raine," will be on hand during rehearsals to serve as diction coach, since there is need for a well-presented British dialogue. a a- Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben Union Tonight Saturday's Schedule Includes Displays, Livestock Show An interpretation of the Omaha f show by the same name, tlte Uni versity's version of Ak-Sar-Ben will be sponsored by the College of Agriculture's Block and Bridle club Friday and Saturday eve nings.
