Phone 6929. Welles' Cantata Given Premiere By DR. D. E. JONES' Petersburg Presbyterian Church was far too small to accommodate the large audience gathered to hear Ernest E.

Welles' new cantata "Christ With Us," given its premiere yesterday afternoon. A choir of about thirty voices, with Edna Payne Reese, Maude Thomas, Evan Bennle, Nicholas Murley, Floyd Hower and Ernest Heinan as soloists, and Ann Knoeppfel, pianist, and Isa belle Battenberg Welles, organist, sang the new work. They scored a decided triumph for themselves and for Mr. Welles, who directed the chorus. With plenty of evidence that the work had been rehearsed with care, for it was smoothly done by soloists and choir, the cantata proved Mr.

Welles' caliber as a composer. There were many instances 01 enecuve climaxes which sometimes brought a thrill, although, the sopranos were at the very extreme of their vocal powers, and the softer singing in such numbers as "Lullaby, Jesus Dear" showed that the composer had mastered the art of contrast. Some difficult work for lower parts in extended scale passages was negotiated very well, indeed. The choir was a good one and had been studi ously balanced, and under Mr. Welles' direction, the entrances of parts were prompt and secure, and its tone very well controlled.

In the solo department, Edna Payne Reese outshone her colleagues, but, the sincerity and understanding of the others, Miss Thomas, and Messrs Bennle, Murley, Hower and Heinan, was something to be greatly admired. And Mrs. Gemmell and Mrs. Welles were excellent accompanists. The pastor, the Rev.

J. Clewell Ottlnger, spoke words of high praise concerning Mr. Welles, and announced that the young composer is already at work on a new Thanksgiving can tata. Many in Attendance As Crusade Continues A large congregation attended the Gospel Crusade last night in Myrtle Street M. E.
