In The -J Realm Music By Lucien H. White ORANGE CHURCH CHOIR IN ANNUAL RECITAL Accepting a very cordial invi. tation from Wilson Lamb, who conducts a vocal studio in the Metropolitan Building, Orange, l.I journeyed over into Jer sev on the evening of Thursday, June 10, to hear tne annual recital by the choir of Mount Olive Baptist Church of East Orange, the Rev. G. W.

Krygar, pastor. Mr. Lamb is the director of this organiiation, with Miss Ernes-line Brown as the organist. Preceding the recital I visited with Mr. Lamb in his studio, and it was a pleasant and agreeable experience.

He occupies a suite in the Metropolitan Life Insurance building on Main street, one of the most important and imposing business structures in the httle Jersey city. Here he has succeeded, after years of patient effort and painful sacrifice, in establishing himself as a tfacher of students of vocal music and of the piano. And it is as a developer of the voice that Mr. Lamb's work is entitled to special consideration. As a concert singer Mr.

Lamb has had considerable success. He has spent years in earnest, conscientious study of the voice and the vocal organs and, as was written in this column lew weeks ago, he possesses a voice with many excellent qualities. But this article is not about Mr. Lamb's singing. His knowledge of what is necessary to the developing of the human voice in singing is demonstrated most admirably by the accomplishments of his pupils.

At the studio during the afternoon an opportunity was given roe to hear one of his advanced pupils sing some songs, including Bohm's "Still as the Night" and Metcalfe's "Absent." This pupil, Miss Alice B. Russell of Mont- dair, is also a member of the choir and is used by Mr. Lamb as his leading soprano soloist. Her voice is big and colorful, but 1 am inclined to take issue with Mr. Lamb as to its Classifies tion.

thinking that it would have greater possibilities if its contralto qualities were developed. But that of course is the teacher's responsibility. If Miss Russell's singing left any doubts as to the sound principles upon which Mr. Lamb's methods are based, these doubts were further eliminated after hearing, during the choir's evening program, a 14-year-old girl, Vevnona Penrlletnn, sing Brads- ky's "Thou Art Mine All." following with "Oh! Fair and Sweet and Holy." The little girl sanp with an authority and power far beyond her years, and showed a voice of great possibilities. One remarkable thing about her singing is the comprehension and understanding evident in every phrase.

Of course, it is possible to drill a child by rote into simulation of almost any degree of interpretation, but this little girl was most certainly not singing by rote. Continuing as she has begun, with rigid adherence to the stern requirements necessary to artistic development, this girl will make her mark as a singer. The choir was greeted by an audience that filled ML Olive's auditorium to it capacity. And the audience gave every evidence that it enjoyed the musical sabulum served by Mr. Lamb and his The program was at follows Moiart: Gloria from tha Twelfth Mast Sun In Laitnt.

However, it may be that the axe of ient" in this ease was not intended tolely to apply to the choir's singing ability. It may mean that they are "proficient" in the performance of their duty to the choir as member! of that body, for 1 am told by sir. Lamb that they ar most faithful and punctual in giving themselves to the church' work. Leaving oat of consideration the designation applied by the announcements it was possible to get good bit of enjoyment from the tinging of these people. It was emphaaiied by the pastor.

Dr. Krygar, that the people appearing in the concert were the same ones who occupied the choir loft morning and evening of each. Sunday through the year. There was no augmenting of forces for this special occasion. They tang the "Gloria" with good effect and the intonation of the Latin words was surprisingly excellent.

The "Inflsramatua" was not done so well, but the audience demanded another hearing, got it, and the result was a much improved rendition. The soloist. Miss Russell, and the choir, redeemed themselves by their effort the second time. The duet sung by Messrs. Moss and Leach was enjoyed, even though the young men seemed to have difficulty in projecting their tones out into the auditorium.

The male quartet was well done. The female Quartet was not well balanced and the voice did not seem to harmonise. Mr. Brooks tans the two airs comprising his number with under standing and sympathy. 11 rt.
