...Like the delicately poised structure of a mighty cathedral is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Fittingly, his B Minor Mass was sung and played in magnificent St. Thomas's Episcopal Church, Manhattan, by the Bach Cantata Club of New York.

Composing a ballet-cantata to the solar system is all that keeps Fitzalan from succumbing to so much spiritual midnight. He tries to rescue Janet from the deathly mesh of the place, but fails. Wilfred Hough commits suicide, on a chandelier. All the Prides and the dog Death are horribly dead by the end of the book. Over Mordance Hall comes "a nest of ferns, crawling, vermiform...

...feature of the event, the most ambitious in Philadelphia's "Music Week," was a ringing performance of John Philip Sousa's latest composition, a cantata called The Last Crusade. Fortunately for all concerned, it contained a goodly sprinkling of genuine, new, Sousaesque marches. These marches, according to Stokowski's speech, represent "the real spirit of America in a dignified and intellectual manner." At any rate, they reached the heart of the audience, even though it was seated in between erstwhile counters of dress goods, tableware, notions...
