Children Delight With Choral JJlork · in Civic Festival By Critic The Civic Music association of Chicago was heard in its ninth annual fes- · tival last Sunday afternoon at Orchestra hall. There was a chorus of several hundred children's voices beside the orchestra itself which played several c_ o mpositions including the Overture to "Mignon," "Dance of Nymphs and Satyrs," from "Armor and Psyche" by Schumann, the Waltz from "La Belle au Du Bois Dormant." which were all played in good technique and with the usual polish and expression. The children sang two groups of folk songs, a group of short songs by Chicago composers, three of which were poems by Dorothy Graham Aldis, and a cantata, "Vogelweid the Minnesinger." The choral program was given by about twenty-five children's choruses which are maintained by the association, and are taught by a staff of specially selected instructors, who give the children two free lessons each week. The choruses meet all summer in the small parks through the cooperation of the Park commissioners. Most of the children are of foreign born parentage, so that many of them learn to sing in English for the first time in the classes maintained by the association. · The work of the chorus was outstanding on Sunday. It was a distinct pleasure to see those small children t_ake such a joy in their work and watch their director. There was verv little two-part music, the chorus simiing in one part most of the time. The voices were high and sweet, and particularly clear. The arrangement of the music for the songs by Felix Borowski, conductor of the chorus, was exceptionally well done, besides being equally well played by the orchestra. Eric De Lamarter conducted the orchestra during its prog-ram. Community singing in which the audience joined, was held after the prop-ram and was led by Frederick W. Carberry.
