-Folk: Songs Win Acclaim At Last Night s Concert By CAROL GREENING I Want to Marry Me,” a Norwegian folk song by Edvard Grieg about a too-boastful lover, proved most popular of Sigurd NilsSen’s numbers in his recital last night in the music audi torium Excelling in dramatice and lively numbers, Mr. Nilssen, professor of voice at the University, also drew audience ac maim irom ' Mousse ae kis caye,” a spirited French number. Evans Accompanist Accompanying Mr. Nilssen in his first three numbers were John Stark Evans, professor of music, at the organ, and Margaret Rose Steinmetz of. Portland at the piano. A group of early French songs, written in the eleventh to fif teenth centuries, and arranged by Gustave Michiels, were'found to be musical morsels for a con noiseur's palate. They were the kind of songs after which there is a pause, then an outburst of de lighted clapping from the audi ence. *• Talent Shown In both these and Grieg’s Nor wegian group, Mr. Nilssen dem onstrated his talent for interpret ing dialect pieces, and impart ing their meaning to the audi ence even though the tongue in which they are written is strange. “Thanks be to God,” Handel’s arioso from Cantata for stringed instruments, displayed a beautiful correlation between the sweep ing, powerful organ and piano passages, and Mr. Nilssen’s ex cellent voice range and tone. English Pieces Three English pieces conclud ed the program, “A Kingdom by the Sea,” by Arthur Somervell; “There Is a Lady,” by Winifred Bury, and “When the Sergeant Major’s on Parade,” by Ernest Longs taff. Encores at different stages of the program were: “Le Cor,” by Flagiere; “Pall pa hougen,” “Young Tom o’ Devon,” by Rus sell; “My Little Mohee,” an American folksong. Unusual Arrow Shown One corner - tang projectile point was found in the collection k of arrowheads presented by Mrs. Irene M. Day of Portland. This unusual specimen was attached to the handle at an oblique angle rather than straight. This type is usually found in Texas and Oklahoma. This is the only known speci men of this type found in the Northwest. The point was found on Sauvies Island in the Colum bia river near Portland. Robert L. Stephenson, gradu ate assistant in anthropology, has prepared a short report on this specimen to be published in the journal, American Antiquity.
