The incomparable joy tbat comes in singing with a choral body andi contributing to the swing of melody surging alo,,g the smooth lines of Bach- chorales or gliding over thé linpid and less robust lines of folk songs, is' awaiting north' shore singers who have feit at a loss since the North Shore Music Festivals 'went the way of oblivion. The Winnêtlca Choral -society, modestly organ-, izeti about a year ago by Lawrence Yingling, seems gradually and unobtrusively to be ev eloping as a hardy off-spring of the late la*menteti festival chorus. StIi young and small, thé society nevertheless has. attracteti the attention of choral, singers ,f rom as far south as Howard street in Chicago, andi as fat nor th as Highland Park.. Every Tuesday evening, the menibers, - usually about sixty - pusb aside worrisome daily - problems and spenti an hour, or t .. iiipl ing w.wibzest, at choral music under Mr, Yingligj's direction at the Winnetka Community -House. . To a visito.r, the rebearsals have three definite periods, aIl of wbicb are enjioye by the singers., The hard work is'the digging9 into,,new material, somne of 'which seenis at tirst beyond the capabilities of a few of the society inembers whose music back- groundi is thin. Yet. out of, the chaotic, bumpy, lieavy first attempts gwdually enwerges a sm0oth outlije, making one think of a piece of sculpture which, littie by little, loses its shapelessness andi takes on. massive form, then occasional detail, and finally appears completeti and beautiful to see. Not ail of the compositions readt trough ever reacb the final stage, bec-ause Mr. Yingling believes that sight- reading per se is invaluable, andi there is no time to linger on too much material. In another article next week more information about the society, andi a part of the program 'for the coming May concert will be given.-Rutheda L, 'Pretzel. Nt, S.
