March, 1938 - A Cappella Choir...

The A Cappella Choir was organized in 1929 by E. B. L. Hardy, the conductor in 1938. It was the earliest collegiate organization f its kind in Oklahoma. The first of its annual tours was made in March, 1929. The Choir was in its tenth sesson, and had made steady progress in musical accomplishment. It had taken its place as one of the finest singing groups of the entire Southwest, receiving much praise for its precision, unity of interpretation, purity of tone and skill in legato singing. Professor Hardy, leader of the choir, was a skilled choral conductor, and was esteemed as an authority on the interpretation of the various choral styles. The repertoire of the Choir included selections from early church and Russian liturgical music as well as Negro spirituals and modern English and American sacred and secular part songs. The Male Quartet and the Ladies Trio, which appeared often in conjunction with the Choir, offered lighter selections as well as standard music classics. The touring Choir consisted of forty-five voices chosen from the entire membership. This is a PDF file of A Cappella Choir, March, 1938 Program.
