will present the annual Palm Sunday
Concert April 7, at 3 p.m. in Dacotah
Hall. The concert signifies the be-ginning
of Holy Week in preparation
for Easter and is celebrated through a
musical Mass.
Featured in the performance will
be "Mass in G Major," by Franz
Schubert. The Mass dates back to
the 16th century when the wishes of
private chapels determined the form
of the work produced. It was Schu-bert's
second Mass written when he
was 17 and is an unbroken flow of
song reflecting his melodic beauty and
perfection.
Dr. John R. Berggren, chairman of
the fine arts division, will direct the
Collegiate Choir during their presen-tation.
Ben Vandervelde, assistant pro-fessor
of music, will lead the College-
Civic Symphony of Aberdeen as they
join the choir and soloists. Soloists in
the Mass will be Janis Pearson, so-prano;
Douglas Lyren, tenor; and
James Ewing, bass.
Preceding the Mass, the Northern
Singers will present several numbers
appropriate to the season. These in-clude
three numbers by Jean Berger,
"The Lord's Prayer," by Villa-Lobos,
and "There is a Balm in Gilead," by
Dawson, with Robert Kiesz, Hosmer
senior, as soloist..
