...composers as disparate as Berg, Barber and William Schuman; there are also a few easily recognizable major triads. It is an odd work in some ways, since Mr. Stewart contrasts tense, massive climaxes with passages that are almost flip--the sly fillip of the flute at the very end, for instance. The opening is very attractive, with the theme (almost a twelve-tone row) announced softly by the low strings pizzicato to the accompaniment of saucy raps on the snare drum. But in the middle section--a sort of languourous waltz--the sense of direction is lost and the piece...
Uneven pitching was characteristic of both teams. While Brandeis tightened up on giving away hits in the second half of the game, it yielded seven walks in the last three innings.

The witch, Jennet, also has time to bewitch Thomas Mendip, the world-weary stranger, (by this time a self-styled Satan) and these two loves develop in counterpoint while the mayor blusters and blows his nose, the Justice strives to look official, the mother chatters...
Alizon (Elizabeth Commager) portrays loveable and loving innocence with ingratiating charm. She casts a golden glow over the company, and knows how to be still and still radiant. But her lover, Richard (Richard Watson), fails to hold up his end as the youthful son of the parish poor box. For this reason their third act love scene is somewhat less than effective...
