, n ::r DI "The Chamber Singers provides me with an opportunity to experience some of history's less serious music.'~ Scott Perkins Junior Scott Perkins termed the music he sang with the Chamber Singers "some of history's less serious music." Perkins continued to say that he enjoyed the humor found in the music and the different languages of some of the selections . The light and free chamber music was performed by a dozen singers for the Searcy Lions Club, and at a Valentine's banquet in Little Rock . Selected members of the A Cappella Chorus and the Chorale comprised the group. As a demonstration for a music appreciation class, the singers performed a variety of chamber music . Also, the college and Harding Academy chapels heard a program given by the group. In contrast to the music of some other campus choral groups, the Chamber Singers utilized lighter and freer selections . Included in this year's repertoire were "The Cuckoo Song, " "Nightingale" and a joint effort by soprano Melanie Bloss and Music Department head Erie T. Moore entitled, "Where Have You Been, My Good Old Man?" The group also performed madrigals and other selections in different languages.
