All this endows the trial scene with a particular dignity and affirmativeness, and with the right resounding orchestration.

Last week's program started off with Trio for flute, viola and cello by 20th Century French Composer Albert Roussel, continued with a Bach sonata for the solo flute, and finished with English Composer William Walton's Facade, scored for seven instruments and a poetry reciter (Actress Jane Wyatt reading Edith Sitwell).
