Show Mid-Winter Concert Climax of the winter quarter work in the music department was the annual Mid-Winter concert-a concert made up of excellent numbers and combinations from all of the departments of music in the college. One of the high spots of the evening was a series of patriotic songs which began with a beautiful rendition of "In Flander's Field." The music to this famous poem was written by Dr. Asahel Woodruff of the new Weber College Institute of Religion. Answering the challenge of this lyric, "The United States Victory Song," composed by Roland Parry, was sung. Another popular feature was the two-piano-organ arrangement of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Katherine Piper was featured in the Mozart E-Flat Concerto for piano and orchestra. The glee club and orchestra joined forces in two fast moving numbers which concluded the concert.

Music hath chamed men ever since the cave dweller first recognized the melody of the wind in the trees. Not unmindful of these charms, Weberites have made music an integral part of college life. The strains of "Purple and White" welcome the freshmen and wish success to the graduating sophomores and between these two great events are sundry activities with a musical accent. Some of these are assemblies, where interludes of song are accepted procedure; ball games, where the band's snappy tunes double the pep of the rooters; dances, which would be impossible without music; and study in the library accompanied by the faintly heard organ melodies that fill the halls of the Moench building from early morning to late evening. Eager to keep the soldiers happy, groups of singers have journeyed to Hill Field to present musical programs. Weber offers its students many opportunities for musical participation as well as appreciation. |
