Madrigal Group Feature of Slate The Madrigal Singers, the Uni versity of Oregon’s newest singing group, will be a feature of Sun day’s concert which is being pre sented by the University Singers. A revival of a form of music which originated in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries among the nobility of England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, it was often the only form of entertainment at banquets given during this period. Originally, Madrigals were sung while sitting around a table. In order to re-capture the spirit of the songs, the Oregon group also uses a table in their presentation of the music. The students who participate in this style of singing do so because they are enthusiastic about the musical literature that is best adopted to this kind of group. In addition to the madrigals, the stu dents will also sing folk songs which are suitable to their style. Members of the Madrigal Sing ers are Janis Evans, Jacqueline Madigan, Marcia Eagleson, Pat. Hartley, Marlys Nelson, Beverly Goheen, Clarence Dial, Carl Win klebeck, Donald Allton, Norman McCabe, Don Jackson and Doug las Stobie. According to Allton, the music the group uses is very difficult to perform and demands absolute self-reliance upon the part of the singer.
