MAdison 2575 Gounod, Faure and Saint-Saens —Massenet a n d Meyerbeer- 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.
