MAY FESTIVAL SERIES:
Prof. ood Praises Child Vocal Group
(EDITORS NOTE: Following is
the second in a series of articles de-
scribing this year's May Festival.
Yesterday's article cited the history
of the Festival. Today's discusses
opinions of Festival Youth Chorus
* conductor, Prof. Marguerite V.
Hood, as expressed in an interview
yesterday.)
By RENE GNAM
Problems encountered w h e n
training a children's chorus for
public concert ,performances are
different than those of an adult
group.
Prof. Marguerite V. Hood, of the
music school, points out that chil-
dren's performances often "depend
on physical condition. If they get
tired and slump, they will sing flat.
"They have a certain group feel-
ing. If something starts to hap-
pen, it spreads throughout the
group.
During the interview, Prof. Hood
emphasized that "they are very
sensitive to each other.
"When they sing in a large
group, they sometimes don't know
whether they are in tune or not,"
conductor Hood said.

Another problem occurs when
"voices start to change. After all,I
they're all fifth and sixth gradeI
public school children."
When queried as to the atten-
tion of the children, Prof. Hood
replied, "They just can't sit still."
Selection of works to be per-
formed is also difficult. This is
true primarily with regard to large
.compositions. In this line, "there
are not too many excellent works
that are written for children and
are childlike. You can make the
children learn them, but it doesn't
come naturally."
Prof. Hood emphasized "we try
to do things that will be worth-
while in the lives of the children,
both now and in the future."
The children represent "a pret-
ty good cross-section of America.
Although they are really excellent,
they are unpredictable. You can't
have the assurance of a stable
performance as with adults."
Conductor Hood said "they are
frank and very refreshing. They
are so scrubbed and clean and
anxious to do well and so thrilled
with it all. They have a wonder-
ful sparkle and aren't sophisticat-
ed or blase. Then, too, this is
a special occasion for them."
Festival Youth Chorus first per-
formed May 16, 1913, under the
name of "Children's Chorus." In
succeeding years the group was
known as "Children's Festival
Chorus," "Young People's Chorus,"
and "Youth Chorus," before its
present title.
Prof. Hood summed up the at-
titude of the children by saying,
"If they had their way, they would
clap for themselves."
