Correggio was incredibly accomplished for a man who lived far from Florence and Rome. Born Antonio Allegri around 1494 and called after the town of his birth, he may never have seen the art capitals of his time. Yet he was thoroughly a man of his age, more influenced by the classical traditions of Greece and Rome than by the devotional art of the Middle Ages.

When I remarked to a young lady at the Yard Concert last night that the cadenees of Allegri's "Mjserero" were well-defined, she said "cadence, shmadence," so we let it go at that. In addition to this work, the Glee Club sang three canons of Mozart, "To Thee Alone Be Glory" by J. S.

Two duets from Buxtehude's Baroque Cantatas, "Erhore Mich Wenn Ich Rufe," by Schutz, and motets by Jacques Clement and Allegri will make up the first part of the program...
