American songs beginning with
the Ode from Ossian's poems by
the first American composer,
Francis Hopkinson—all these and
many more composers are in-
cluded in Nelson Eddy's limitless
concert repertory—not to men-
tion some 30 operas.
There are favorite songs in
his repertory and among them
are, he says, "The Lord's Prayer"
which has brought him more fan
mail than anything he has ever
sung. "The Trumpets Shall
Sound" from Handel's "Messiah,"
the Figaro aria from Rossini's
"Barber of Seville," Song to the
Evening Star from Wagner's
"Tannhauser," Child's Evening
Prayer of Moussorgsky and in
a lighter vein—the Lord Chan-
cellor's Nightmare from "lolan-
the".
Audiences often request as en-
cores songs he has popularized
in his films. There is constant de-
mand for "Sweet Mystery of
Life" from "Naughty Marietta,"
for "Will You Remember" from
"Maytime," for "At the Balalai-
ka" from "Balalaika" and "Come
Hero Mine" from "The Choco-
late Soldier".
Nelson Eddy will be presented
by the Masonic Auditorium in a
concert on Wednesday evening,
April 26, at 8:20 p. m.
Tickets for this concert are on
sale at Grinnell's Music Store
in Detroit.
