Show MUSIC THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR, WHEN THE INFANT MORN DRAWS NIGH, AND FAINT ITS BLUSH IS SEEN ON THE BRIGHT AND LAUGHING SKY. MANY A HARP'S ECSTATIC SOUND WITH ITS THRILL OF JOY PROFOUND. WHILE WE LIST ENCHANTED THERE TO THE MUSIC IN THE AIR. THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL OF Music during the past year has been full of delight and enthusiasm. Morning, noon, and night our halls have rung with music. Bands, orchestras, quartets, uke- leles, guitars, choir, glee clubs and opera, together with the careful training by proficient teachers, have done wonders in stimulating the spirit of music at Weber. The total enrollment in ensemble and pri- vate study has been over five hundred students. The choir has had about two hundred voices, the Girls' Glee Club an enrollment of forty-eight, the Boys' Glee Club forty-four, the orchestra eighteen, and band about twenty-five. Through the Public Service Bureau the students have furnished music for seventy-eight programs outside of school, thus bringing before the public talented boys and girls in well prepared numbers. The fact that students have furnished the music for devotional exer- cises is not to be overlooked for it has been of great value in training them in self-command in rendering musical numbers. The glee clubs gave a concert at Kaysville and in the Weber Auditorium. They have also had invitations to visit the Morgan and Coalville High schools. The choir has rendered valuable service in Devotional besides singing in the commencement exercises. A large number of soloists have been devel- oped and many more talented voices are yet to be brought out. The band and orchestra under the leadership of Prof. Ernest Nichols have done very splendid work. It was the band that led the students to victory in the basketball game with Ogden High school. Miss Mary Fisher, one of Utah's best violinist, and Miss Gladys Peterson, a pianist of considerable merit, have proved themselves true teachers. They have helped greatly in making the School of Music a success. The principal feature of this year's work was the operetta, "A Nautical Knot," by Maud Elizabeth Inch and Rhys Herbert, produced under the able supervision of Prof. W. H. Manning. About seventy-five choice voices were required in the presentation. The accompaniment was furnished by the school orchestra under the direction of Prof. E. W. Nichols. It was the cul- mination of the work of the vocal and instrumental departments, for all those taking part were trained in the School of Music. |
