Combined Chorus and Bands
Present Brilliant Program
By Mrs. E. E. Gore
Aware that something very
unusual and important to the
community was taking place, an
eager and enthusiastic audience
of parents, teachers, music su
pervisors and music lovers,
crowded the Holly theatre Fri
day night to hear the combined
chorus and band of the Rogue
River valley in concert. All
were under the distinguished
leadership of Walter C. Welke
and Charles W. Lawrence, well
known band and chorus experts
from the University of Wash
ington. -
For weeks the various groups,
under the instruction of local
teachers, had been familiarizing
themselves with the program
numbers and had been afforded
the privilege of rehearsing for
three consecutive days some of
the greatest music of all time
under the capable and unselfish
direction of national known di
rectors. The guest conductors
were able to focus attention on
details of Interpretation and
style.
The chorus ' and band com
bined numbered about 300 and
the program was definitely
nationalistic. Warren D. Allen,
dean of music at Stanford, who
was recently heard here, ad
vised teachers to go through the
books and "segregate the vital
and expressive music from the
trivial and weak."
This had evidently been done
and while there was variety, co
ordination and something for
all to enjoy, the soul of the
thing seemed to radiate from
each member.
Beautiful effects were pro
duced by "Popule Mens" and the
traditional "Silent Night" which
were sung antiphonally, two
choirs answering each other
with contrasting phrases.
The folk music of England,
Germany, the Ukraine; chorales,
original and modern settings of
Chinese poetry; the spirituals of
the Negro; the ritualistic service
of the early church; Italy, Aus
tralia, Brahms, and finally
Bach himself, all helped to build
the program into freshness and
vigor and also served to hold
up the standard for the presen
tation of the best in music.
Reduction of th number of
brasses and addition of more
wood-winds gives the modern
high school band a new color
and this coupled with definite
other changes in instrumenta
tion, gives the organization an
opportunity somewhat orches-
trial in effect. The precise at
tack, brilliant but rich tone
quality were also most interest
ing, as also were the contrast-
bits of solo work usually re
quiring outside help that were
well done by the band mem
bers. The plaque awarded the Med
ford band for outstanding work
at the state conference in Port
land last spring was publicly
presented by Mr. Welke to Wil
son Wait, director of the band.
Encouraged by outstanding
interest and community support,
and as a means of providing a
focal point for future musical
activities the local directors are
looking forward to a perman
ent chorus, recruited from the
resources of the valley which
shall be ready and able to ap
pear on programs with artists
desiring local support.
Many of the young partici
pants, it is said, are the grand
children of musical people who
put on the first adult music

NOOSE ASKED FORI
YOUTHFUL FATHER
FOR BABE'S DEATH
Seattle, Dec. 9. (JP) A Jury
of five women and seven men,
nine of whom said they were
parents, tonight deliberated the
fate of a 22-year old accused of
turning on the gas and leaving
his 16-months-old daughter to
die in the kitchen while he
and his wife went to see the
film play "Unexpected Father."
The prosecution demanded
the death penalty for John
Frederick Wunders and in final
arguments asked the Jury "what
manner of man is it that would
confess he killed his child if he
were innocent?"
Wunders testified he had con
fessed to police to save his wife
from strenuous questioning.
Later he repudiated the confes
sion. During the prosecution s
final address to the Jury Wun
ders' comely young wife rushed
from the courtroom and court
attaches said she had become
ill and later collapsed In a rest
room.
A pretty former high school
sweetheart of Wunders testified
during the trial that Wunders
told her a few months ago he
did not love his wife and did
not know who was the father
the child. Wunders said the
girl was jealous and "started
the story" herself.
