Monteverdi's Vespers, published in 1610 as a group of items in a collection of miscellany, are unified both liturgically and musically. Yet they have all the variety and color of a patchwork quilt. The fact that the University Choir chose to perform them in St. Paul's Catholic Church in its fall concert Sunday night contributed to making the piece a spectacle. The Vespers form a very complex whole--they consist of a response, five psalms, a hymn, and the Magnificat, together with corresponding plainsong melodies which precede and follow each movement except the hymn.

...influence at the Loeb during its first four years was erratic and undefinable. Student directors generally chose their own plays, but often with advance consideration for what the Faculty Committee would tolerate.

...intricate mosaic of U.S. political life, to consider the outcome of individual races and find whether they produced cohesive national patterns.

"Instead, we have a lot of sacrifices to ask of everybody...
...quiet little man who was the object of such attention never thought so well of himself. Born in 1824, he had spent his childhood at Le Havre, and when his early facility at drawing earned him a grant to study art in Paris, he chose instead to paint on his own and use the money for living. Boudin had discovered and nurtured the young Claude Monet, but he did not think that he himself had the "temperament" to become a great master. And so he preferred to do what pleased him. Unencumbered by academic training, he developed alone into...
