Naturally, an educational institution would be incomplete without some provision for musical training. The University of Utah through its music department displays the talent of the campus to the public. The governing group behind all the activities of this type last year was the Music Council of which Herbet B. Maw was chairman.Professor Thos. A. Giles Director of MusicIn the fall of the school year, the council, through co-operation with the President's office, was able to send the Utah Pep Band to Boulder on the student excursion. The band was also active at the home football and basketball games. The quartets, String Quartet, Men's Quartet, and Ladies' Quartet, performed at various school functions, University radio broadcasts, and other affairs throughout the city. To climax the year's musical achievements the department sponsored the opera "Hansel and Gretel" using only female voices with the exception of one part. The orchestra provided the usual accompaniment for the opera, and in addition furnished music for school plays, assemblies and the commencement exercises To make up for its loss of performance in the opera, the Men's Glee Club appeared at special assemblies and other functions at school and downtown.The success of the Music Department is due to the co-operation of the council with Professor Giles, who has been a member of the faculty of the University of Utah for sixteen years.139 |
