...troublesome characteristic of rarely heard works of famous composers is that there is often a good reason for their obscurity. On Friday night the combined Glee Clubs of Smith and Harvard, assisted by the Bach Society Orchestra, gave Mozart's Vesperae de Dominica its first performance in this country. Unfortunately, it is not one of Mozart's more inspired works, only reaching greatness in a movement interpolated from a later Vespers...

Latest work for Spencer's proposed chapel is a series on Christ Preaching at Cookham Regatta. For one panel, Listening from Punts (see cut), Spencer has drawn on his boyhood memories of Edwardian regatta-goers who arrived for river-barge concerts. "From people listening to Bach," says he, "it's not such a long step to people listening to Christ. It's almost the same, nearly there. So I decided to make it Christ preaching a sermon." Spencer liked the idea so much that he plans to repeat the subject on the other side of the Thames...

Another feature of the concert was the performance of two Baroque flute sonatas with the accompaniment of a harpsichord, played nicely by Sy Hayden. Flautist Eric Herz overcame some nervousness at the beginning of a sonata by Loeillet and went on to play Bach's Sonata in G minor with assurance.

Since harpsichord strings are plucked rather than hit, the sound is at once precise and shimmering. In Francois Couperin's Le Carillon de Cithere Kirkpatrick achieved a remarkable bell-like effect. The instrument is also capable of melancholy expression, as in Couperin's Allemande la Tenebreuse. J. S. Bach was represented on the program twice: by his Italian Concerto, which adapts for solo harpsichord the complete concerto form; and by his Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, which harkens back to the craggy German organ style of Scheidt and Buxtehude. Perhaps the most electrifying music of the afternoon, however, was Jean Philippe...

...replace Hadik with Tony Oberschall, but has not decided who will start in the other two positions. Bill Linglebach or center forward Shad Tubman will play outside right, while either Eric Stapper, Henrik Blohm, Henry Valiant, or "anyone else who can walk" will fill the right fullback spot. Lingle-bach or Jim Shue will play inside right, and Eliot Finkelstein will continue to replace the injured Lindsay Fischer as goalie...
