THE MASTER SINGERS
The Outstanding Male Ensemble of the Day
• An unusual sexette of soloists doing the unusual in male chorus singing.
• Each man, a highly trained and experienced musician — as an ensemble they have attained an enviable artistic ideal.
• The MASTER SINGERS have acquired the musical inflections which are necessary to interpret choral masterpieces so that the listener gets the full import of their messages.
• Hearty endorsement is evidenced in sponsorship by prominent Music Clubs, Civic Organizations and College Artist Series.
• The accompanist is a talented concert pianist of enviable reputation.
From the Press
... The Master Singers, I assure you, are really singers … It is a joy to hear these young men … They sing with remarkable refinement and assurance and with perfect intonation … If we could only hear such pure and beautiful English oftener. Success may be measured by the applause, recalls and encores accorded them.—
Herman Devries, Chicago American.
... It is without question the finest ensemble of its kind in the history of Chicago … we fell under the spell of the song, so varied, so expressive, and so often filled with the most stirring kind of drama … they seemingly know how to balance the serious and gay … In all they showed expert interpretative art, a lively sense of value of contrast, a nice appreciation of the artistic worth of restraint … Beautiful music, beautifully sung.—
Glenn Dillard Gunn, Chicago Herald & Examiner.
... there is nothing but praise to mention in behalf of these singing gentlemen … they possess a highly individual and mellow quality of tone … they sing in quasi—russian style and their performance is full of vitality … This efficient male ensemble displayed a brand of showmanship that bespoke a long experience before the public.—
Eugene Stinson, Chicago Daily News.
Extensive and Varied Repertoire
• From the world's finest libraries of male choral literature the MASTER SINGERS have chosen the outstanding compositions. In many instances they have had them rearranged to serve their particular needs.
• Thus the MASTER SINGERS are able to present their varied programs of the best in classical and modern music winning for themselves the enthusiastic response from the music lover as well as the unstinted approval of the routined listener.
• Added to the vocal virtues of these excellent singers are dignity of presence and presentation that wins the public.
• Carl Fischer, Inc., has just issued a new Series for Men's Voices named after the Master Singers.
