...tutors are a convivial bunch who would rather eat with the undergraduates than their contemporaries. Once a week they eat en masse with the Housemaster and Allston Burr Senior Tutor Daniel Cheever, but have a habit of drifting off to undergraduate tables afterwards.

Among the best: Bartok's En Bateau, a flashy, seasick impression of a boatride; Copland's Episode, a neat vignette that builds from nearly nothing to a roiling climax; Milhaud's delicately tinted Pastorale; Messiaen's mystical Le Banquet Celeste...
