AT THE PIANO, contralto Mary Berner runs over a passage as the
four "Requiem" soloists rehearse for today's performance. The
seldom-performed requiem, which will be heard in Lincoln for the
first time in a number of years, is also scheduled for similar me
morial performances in New York City and in Denver, and was
presented at Texas University earlier this year. Left to right:
J. Dayton Smith. Arrell Mace, Miss Berner, and Dale Ganz.
Choral Union to Sing Requiem
In War Memorial Ceremony
Verdi's "Requiem" will be per-,
formed today by the 500-voice
Choral Union, soloists and uni
versity orchestra in memory of
students and faculty members
who gave their lives in the second
world war. Conducted by Dr. Ar
thur Westbrook, the "Requiem"
will begin at 3 p. m. in the coliseum.
One of the relatively few musi
cal settings of the Requiem Mass,
the Verdi score will feature as
soloists Arrell Mace, soprano;
Mary Berner, contralto; Dayton
Smith, tenor; and Dale Ganz, bar
itone. The choral parts will be
sung by the four mixed choruses
from both campuses that com
bine twice a year to perform ora
torical works each spring and
Christmas. '
Critics Evaluation.
Written by the great 19th cen
tury composer of such standard
repertory operas as "Aida,"
"Traviata," and "Rigoletto," the
Verdi "Requiem" has brought this
critical evaluation: "While one
may not unfairly call it 'theatri
cal,' it is at once sincere and con
vincing." Miss Mace completed her un
dergraduate work in music at
. Simpson College, Iowa and taught
music in public schools there for
two years. She will finish her
graduate work here with the end
of summer school this year.
A graduate and former faculty
member of Belhaven College in
Mississippi, Miss Berner did grad
uate work at Louisiana University
and came' to the university in
1945. She is organist and choir

"Messiah" Soloist.
Appointed voice instructor here
in 1941, Mr. Smith served a year
and a half in the European theater
during his four army years. Re
ceiving his masters from St. Olaf
College in Minnesota, he was so
loist and assistant director of the
college's famed choir on nation
wide tours. Mr. Smith directs the
Lincoln Men's Chorus and is so
loist at First Church of Christ
Scientist in Lincoln. He is a pop
ular soloist in cantata and ora
torio performances thruout the
state and sang in this season's
presentation of the "Messiah."
Four times a "Messiah" soloist
at the university, Dale Ganz grad
uated in 1940 and is now doing
some voice instruction on a teach
ing fellowship. A lead in the Feb
ruary production of "Pagliacci,"
he served 52 months in the army,
attaining the rank of captain.
The "Requiem" is performed
today under the sponsorship of
the university convocations com
mittee, and is similar in nature to
memorial musical programs given
at many universities to honor war
dead.
Annual Fine Arts
Convention Held
By High Schools
Nebraska's annual all-state fine
arts festival which included judg
ments of students abilities in mu
sic, dramatic art, speech and art
was held here Friday and Satur
day. University faculty members who
judged the events awarded rat
ings ranging from superior to be
low average. Outstanding students
were given 24 scholarships to the
university, and those awarded
superiors received medals made
possible by a gift to the univer
sity from Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow
Magee of Lincoln.
Dr. R. G. Rosenlof, director of
admissions, spoke at a luncheon
held Saturday noon in the Union.
City Symphony
Closes Season
With Success
BY SAM WARREN.
For its final concert of the
season, the Lincoln Symphony Or
chestra played a program Wed
nesday night that ranged from ex
pounding musically on Nature,
Life and Love (in Dvorak's "In
Nature's Realm") to having a lot
of fun making fun of serious mu
sic (in Ibert' satiric "Divertisse
ment"). But in addition to this, the or
chestra presented two talented
young soloists who were each
called back before the encore
curtains to receive well-deserved
applause. Geraldyne Kelley, at 19
the youngest audition winner,
played the lyric finale from
Vieuxtemps' fourth violin con
certo with a professional fervor
that was a paradox to the picture
of a young girl in a demure bouf
fant-skirted gown of pink tulle
and taffeta.
One could not help but see the
parallel between the perform
ance here five year's ago by 14-
year-old Patricia Travers, now a
seasoned traveling artist, and Miss
Kelley's spirited performance. Her
technique, which included an
easy handling of difficult double
stopped harmonics, was matched
by a beauty and firmness of tone.
Basso Scores Success.
Robert Anderson, university
junior, exploited a bass range oi
large proportion and rich quality.
Singing an aria from Verdi's seldom-performed
opera, "Don Car
lo," Mr. Anderson showed a fa
miliarity with the requirements of
Italian operatic style. An appre
ciative audience would have liked
more numbers from him.
The orchestra, which has not
performed a. single "heavy" selec
tion this season, continued in its
consistent, but pleasant, vein.
Sinigaglia's overture to "le Ba
ruffe Chiozotte," premiered by
Toscanini, was a lively opening
number, and Dvorak's "In Na
ture's Realm" and Berlioz' "Rom
an Carnival Overture" were per
formed in the best romantic tra
dition. Schmaltzy Valse.
Most fun for orchestra and au
dience alike, tho, was Ibert's "Di
vertissement," which was well
handled. Strains of the Lohen
grin wedding march were an
swered by sneering muted trom
bones in the introduction. The
nocturne was intentionally lushy
and sentimental, the valse was
pure schmaltz, and the finale was
a free-for-all P. T. Barnum stunt!
Four guest artists, instead of
five, have been engaged for next
year in an effort to give the or
chestra (which in recent years has
taken a back seat to outside tal
ent) an opportunity to show its
best colors. If there is local re
sponse and encouragement, if con
ductor Leo Kopp comes to Lincoln
from Chicago for the formative
rehearsals and not just for those
two days before a concert, and if

In the early 1900's when the
