48 WINNETKA TALK February 5, 1927 Art Songs Basis for Appreciation Concert at Skokie The fifth of the musical appreciation series, arranged by musical director Yingling, was presented in the as- sembly period at the Skokie school, Friday, January 28. The program consisted of German "Art Songs," es- pecially as represented by Lieders, sung by LeRoy Hamp, lyric tenor, ac- companied by Miss Esther Arneson, and more than delighted the young- sters who insisted upon encore after encore, even to the curtailment of their dinner hour. Lieders, it is said, are most difficult to sing, requiring a voice of excep- tional quality and of particular charac- ter to properly handle them. In this, Mr. Hamp's voice easily meets all re- quirements and cannot be too highly praised. Before each song he also gave a most interesting and apt dis- the quartet of the First Presbyterian church of Evanston and is altogether a product of Chicago musical tutorage.
