...event, we've reached our intermission. What started out as a pipe-dream over a dinner in Adams House in December has, to a large extent, reached its fruition. We wanted a pre-frosh special; we got it in the form of "100 Reasons Why Harvard Sucks." We wanted a spring break bonanza; we put together an eight-page pullout. What did we want and not get?

She opened with a piece by John Psathas called "Matre's Dance," featuring very loud, very impressive drumming, but to such an extent that the role of her accompanist, Philip Smith, was all but obviated. Glennie then played her own transcription of the Albeniz "Asturias," which did well in the transition from solo piano to solo marimba. The recitative quality of the right hand in the original blossomed in its new reverberating longevite. Glennie...
