Sweden's 81-year-old Archbishop Emeritus Erling Eidem, who buried Hammarskjold's statesman father eight years ago, conducted the service with quavering hand. Opera Singer Elisabeth Soderstrom sang I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, and the Lutheran choir Work, for the Night Is Coming. Near the casket was a wreath of daffodils and two red roses. Sent by Hammarskjold's family, it bore a one-word inscription...
Inherent Logic. The Gregg Smith Singers have a fast-growing reputation in Europe, but they are virtually unknown in the U.S. Chicago-born Conductor Smith, 30, who "wanted to be a choir leader for as long as I can remember," established the group at the Los Angeles Japanese Methodist Church in 1955.

As for the new production itself, it was typically spare in detail but marred by the intrusion of a few Radio City Music Hall touches: an angelic choir whose halos gradually became brighter on rheostats; a womb-shaped, rigid fish net with ballerinas spread-eagled to its sides...
...years since the London Guild Church Act was passed, the church has come alive in the City. Today some City churches have larger congregations five days a week than many a country church sees of a Sunday. Pavement posters and office notice boards attract City workers to concerts and choir practice, discussion groups and short straight services. "I don't often attend actual services," said one office worker last week, "but I sometimes go into a church on my way back from lunch for a sort of peaceful think. After all, I never go to church on Sunday-there...
