Basil Rathbone, 500-Voice Choir,
Orchestra Present 'King David'
By CYNTHIA HENDERSON
Staff Writer
A capacity crowd at the rr
forraance of "King David" Sun
day evening was left wih a
memorable impression of one of
the- most dignified programs of
the year.
With the incomparable Basil
Rathbone as narrator, David
Foltz, chairman of the music de
partment, superbly conducted the
500-voice choir and 75-piece
orchestra in an hour and a half
program filled with realism, ef
fect and intense feeling.
USUALLY OVERLOOKED,
the orchestra proved itself an
outstanding star. The great
weight of the score rested on the
percussion section and the Eng
lish horn. Instrumental pieces
as the "M arch of the Philistines"
and the "Fanfare and Entry of
Goliath" were particularly ex
cellent So well coordinated were he
soloists, choir, narrator and
orchestra that it is difficult to
recognize one over the other.
Eonny Crocker, 13-year-old Lin
coln boy sang the plaintive
Song of David the Shepherd."
