...John Ferris, University Organist, has put together an intriguing schedule in addition to the usual Choir offering at morning and Sunday services. In three programs, the Choir will present the unusual Distler Todtentanz, Bach Cantata No. 39, and the Schuetz Weinachtshistorie. The Schuetz was done last Christmas at the Busch-Reisinger Museum and is a worthwhile, moving work. Since this composer is a favorite of John Ferris's, the performance will likely be quite good. The same prediction holds for the two-day Schuetz Festival in the spring. Mem Church programs--morning prayer anthems to the traditional carol service...
...Church-sponsored recital series began two weeks ago with organist Anton Heiller. On November 17 the series continues with Edward Tarr, considered by many the world's best baroque trumpet player. Keyboard music is accessible weekly at the Harvard Organ Society's popular Thursday noon recitals in the Busch-Reisinger. The museum's beautiful three-manual Flentrop organ is perfect for baroque music--and the short recitals are a welcome respite on a busy...
...Busch-Reisinger Museum (B.R.) has finally pulled out some representative works from its basements filled with Bauhaus archives. Since 1948, at the instigation of Charles Kuhn (B.R. Curator 1932-68) and the presence of Walter Gropius as Chairman of the Department of Architecture, the Museum has been collecting Bauhaus items-from class notes to textiles. The Museum's present curator, John David Farmer, with the help of two design consultants, Peter Kemble and Lynn Yudell, has arranged an attractive yet small package of the Busch Bauhaus...
...doll-house like representation of a Metal Exhibit (Joost Schmidt 1934) complete with boat propellers and model airplanes, shows the creative richness of the Bauhaus that encouraged a tradition in education as well as art. The Bauhaus brought art off its pedestal and seduced even the common Pygmalion; the Busch should bring such attractive nuisances up from the basement more often...
...consisting mostly of photographic and pictorial representations of architectural structures (which is unfortunate since this group has had such an influence in spatial concepts), but an important record in visual historical thought. Some of the best examples have come out of Harvard's own museums: the basements of the Busch-Reisinger, the Fogg, Carpenter Center, etc. (e.g., Malevitch, "Construction: Two Views" and Lissitsky, "Study for Booklet on Two Squares"). It is understandable that originals are scarce and not easily obtainable, yet with the emphasis on architecture, a limitation to a few models hardly covers the spatial innovations of Constructivism...
