...Ensemble owes its organization to Jacob Moskovitz '30, who is at present its manager. A very capable oboe player, he will render the part for that instrument in the "Fugal Concert" for Flute and Oboe, by Gustay Holst, the English composer who lectured at Harvard last Friday. The orchestra consists of 16 men in addition to Moskovitz, most of whom are members of the Pierian Sodality orchestra...
...loses hold over her old charge. But this strain is supported by the introduction of a supplementary force, for Hans sees the marionettes play Faust, and these dolls soon people his world, absorb his life. Mr. Muir has used the intricate pattern of themal relationships in the fugal form upon which to base the coordination of his characters.

The first theme can be compared favorably for dignity with most modern compositions, while the "Venus...
...composer is young and the work exhibits some of the commonest faults of youth. In trying to be original he fails in point of clearness and simplicity. Discords abound throughout. The last movement is in the form of a triple figure, while the second presents a curious combination of fugal and romantic treatment. With all the repelling feature there are indications that a second hearing would develop others more interesting. The rendering of the quartet was all that could be desired...
