By ROB OGLESBY Mr. Earnest Murphy, who graduated from Stetson in 1954 with the Bachelor of' Music Degree, was a visitor to Stetson's campus this past Tuesday. Mr, Murphy is currently the counter- tneor voice for the New York ProMusica. • . ■ The ProMusica, founded in 1950 by Noah Greenberg, has become famous throughout the world for its renditions of Fourteenth ' to Sixteenth, Century music. It is the only American group of its kind, concentrating on the Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque, musical forms. The group' is composed of ten members—six voices, and four instruments. The instruments used by the ProMusica aire ^originals from the period, including the recorder, harpsichord, and organ. After- graduating from Stetson, Mr. Murphy attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, studying under the same voice teacher that Stetson's Prof Giffin studied under. After leaving Eastman, Mr. Murphy spent three years ' in the ■ U.S Army Band in Washington as a concert soloist.'' •.■;■';..' . SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR Since joining the ProMusica group in 1962, Mr. Murphy has participated with the group in all of the major European Music- Festivals, including a two-month tour of; Russia. Last summer,, he toured with the group for three months through the South American countries. At present ProMusica is touring the United States for an extended period of time. EMMY TO GROUP Among the ■ highest accolades the ProMusica group has" attained was the Emmy Award in 1964 for its recording of Elizabethan Music, commemorating the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare.

In this way,; the group is . able to avoid much of the red tape otherwise involved in trips abroad. He also pointed out the fact that ProMusica was generally more appreciated in the European countries than in the, United States, due to the greater appreciation of musical artists in Europe, where many of the period musical styles developed.
