Miss Lilianne Naylor Appears with Toronto Choir in New York A recent press despatch from New York City tells of the f lat- tering reception given the choir of the Church of St. Mary Mag- dalene of Toronto, at two recitais of 16th century and modern litur- gical music presented before a great audience at the Town Hall, September 24-25. Of local interest is the fact that Miss Lillianne Naylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Naylor, Bowmanville, was a member of the choir of 16 Canadian musi- clans who appeared under direc- tion of Dr. Healey Willan, noted leader and composer. The press report states: -Among the audience which heard the Toronto singers were leading New York choir masters, organists and authorities on sacred music and the sustained applause was punctuated by ex- pressions of delight and approval. The xixed choir of 16 voices satng an extensively annotated programme of 7 groups without accompaniment. Four of themn expressed the religious seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter and one group-three mo- tets of! Our Lady-was fromn music eomposed by Dr. Willan. outstanding among the works was the Mass in D Minor by Byrd (1543-1623) but the programme was so exquisitely balanced that fromn an audience standpoint there was littie margin for pre- '-IWerence. ¶Passages of beautiful harmony and soft tonal effects held listen- ers enraptured and much com- ment was heard on the clear enunciation. The choir was obliged to add two encores for an audience reluctant to leave." On a brief visit home prior to resuming her class in music at Noranda, Miss Naylor told further details of the event including minor criticisms heard and other technical highlights. The choir travelled by Trans-Canada air- liners and were guests at the Roosevelt Hotel. mvan, ..m. waiton Dies at Aurora Brother of Local Woman is Killed In Train Wreck Scheduied to sail for Canada on a troopship ieaving England be- tween the second and sixth of October, Gnr.
