STA PCB, Dirett songs, Miss Armstrong makes the voice more or less independent, de- manding musical intelligence on thé part of the singer as well as a mu- sical voice. Mrs. Allen bas both, and she sang with.the greatest-sympathy for; the moods., TMe accompani ments. are,,,i.jually in the upper reg ister of the' piano and give a. perky, bell- like effect whiéh is quite delightful., These were some-of the carlier comn- Positions. Th.ere was a mîiddle group, and then a last group of the lateàt songs. In 'the latter groû:p, "Moon- ligbt" and "Quietly Gxone"ý were par-. ticularly expressive and adapted to the mood of the poem. Milss Hamilton Pimyt Miss Hamilton artistically inter- preted the violin compositions, the first of which ýwas a "Preamble and Sarabande" in oid style. The Pre- amble is somewbat like a Bach in- vrention .and is especially commended. In- aIl of Miss Armstrong's céomposî- tions one -finçls a strong leaning to- wards. counterpuntal writing, and here she gives berself f ree rein. The Sarabande was a Iovely melody over harmonies that were neyer tritc. In fact, in the voice and songs one finds many happy surprises in thu harmonical structures. Tbe Sara- bande was followed by a repetition of the Preamble. This composition was well liked. The "Romance," which followed, is to be the slow movement for a sonata. It is a bit difficult to judge on first hearing, siflce it was Miss Armstrong herseif plàyed ber three piano compositions, variations, ~on "Where Have You Been, Billy IBoy, Billy Boy"; "A Flock of B'elis," and "Prelude in G Minor." One felt> that while they were enjoyed by th'e eM audience tbey lacked the refreshing originality _and. careful pruning0 Y' Miss Armistronig.s other works.
