"The Daughter of the Sea" at Meredith College, April 30, 1921

Meredith Faculty and Students Present Recital. . . Choir Is Composed of 100 Voices. Miss Stitzel and Mrs. Mullin Render Excellent Selections

In the Meredith College Auditorium on Saturday evening, April 23, an audience of music lovers enjoyed the best musical production Meredith has featured for several years. A chorus of 100 voices, accompanied by Miss Ruth Goldsmith, pianist, and Miss Laura Eiberg, organist, and directed by Dr. Dingley Brown, presented Cowen's Cantata, "The Daughter of the Sea." The selections were rendered in this order:

Chorus--"The Sun Has Set"

Chorus--"Golden-Haired Maid"

Trio--(The Sisters)--"Why so sad, dear sister ours?"

Solo--Soprano--(The Sea Maid)--"It was the night."

Chorus--"Wish not that"

Chorus--"In her cavern"

Soprano and Contralo (The Sea Maid and the Witch)--"I know the boon."

Solo--(The Witch) and Chorus--"Then sleep, while o'er thee."

Chorus Interlude--"She wakens again."

Chorus--"From a distant land."

Trio--(The Sisters)--'Sister we come thy life to save."

Solo--Soprano--(The Sea Maid)--"How calm and peacefully he sleeps."

Finale--(The Sea Maid and Chorus)--"Fairwell to the mists."

TRIO

Miss Alice Stitzel, Miss Blanche Sniger, Miss Marie Stilwell

The careful pronunciation of the words by the chorus, as well as the skillful interpretation of the work reflects praise upon the director.

The Trio, by Miss Alice Stitzel, Miss Blanche Snider and Miss Marie Stilwell, should be given especial mention.

Although the Cantata alone would have been sufficient entertainment, the first part of the program, which consists of three vocal solos by Miss Alice Stitzel and two violin solos by Mrs. Martha Alexander Mullin, was highly appreciated by all.
