The Pierian Sodality gave its annual spring concert in Sanders Theatre last night. The music, which was in general of a popular order, was very well received. The execution of the first few numbers was deficient in accuracy, but the playing became better as the concert progressed.
The first number on the programme, the "Coronation March," was perhaps the least effective, and "The Burgomaster" the most so. The selections from "San Toy" played as an encore to the "Awakening of the Lion," aroused much enthusiasm, as did also the waltz "Wedding of the Winds." P. L. Fish '01 sang both his numbers with styles and expression. The popular ballad, "Answer," was well played by R. W. Dibble '01 and received an encore. Sousa's march, "Hail to the Spirit of Liberty," followed by "Fair Harvard," formed a fitting close to the programme.
On the whole, the concert was a success, and an improvement on the previous efforts of the Pierian this year.
