Frock Coats & Turbans. In its permutations, the San Francisco Sound encompasses everything from bluegrass to Indian ragas, from Bach to jug-band music-often within the framework of a single song. It is a raw, raucous, rough-hewn sound that has the spark and spontaneity of a free-for-all jam session. Most of the groups write their own songs and, unlike most rock 'n' rollers, improvise freely, building climax upon climax in songs that run on for 20 minutes or more. It is a compelling entreaty to open up, tune in and turn on. Says one regular...
...possessiveness with regard to personnel, resisting their involvement in any other organization or activity. Equally famous is the hauteur of the Glee Club which, as one member put it, is as much Club as it is Glee; or of WHRBies who walk around wearing "Mozart Forever," and "Back to Bach" buttons but who never deign to attend concerts, in the apparent belief that music produced by plastic discs and dials and buttons is superior to that of live performers...

Mozart's Don Giovanni and Britten's The Turn of the Screw: this year it was hard to decide whether to be more impressed by Leverett's production of The Marriage of Figaro or the Bach Society-Music Club concert performance of Fidelio. The more ambitions these projects become, the more time, money and professional assistance are necessary to carry them off. Sometimes one of these works is lucky enough to get the intensive study and careful preparation is deserves, as in the case of Figaro. Occasionally...
...produced at Harvard--moving, meaningful and exciting music. Participation in musical activities is immense, and most of it is sincere and wholly admirable. Enthusiasm and native musicality are hardly ever lacking, and programs often exhibit an ingenuity and esprit that would be hard to find elsewhere. Leverett's Fall Bach and the Beatles production and the Music Club's all-Ives concert are prime examples of music here at its intelligent best...
