...morning fog lifted. All along the Cote d'Or, the gorgeous Golden Slope of vineyards that tints eastern France for 30 miles, the autumn sun beamed warm rays on the deserted towns. Except for a pair of black-clad grandmothers gossiping on the cobblestones and a couple of overalled, rubber-booted winegrowers closing a deal over a jug of Burgundy in the Cafe de la Cote d'Or, everybody in Nuits-St. Georges (pop. 3,600)-men, women and children, the schoolmaster and even the cure-was out harvesting the new vintage in the heart of France...

Welcoming the Radcliffe singers back, the Glee Club sang Two Odes of Horace with a truly gorgeous tone. Composer Randall Thompson is a well-known expert at choral writing, and when his music is sung well the result is memorable. The concert closed with Trois Chansons by Ravel. These are a kind of musical sandwich, with a lovely lyrical piece between two witty, ironic and bitter-sweet choral songs. The performances were again excellent. If Woodworth can train his full choruses as well as he has trained the smaller groups, audiences will really have to sit up this spring...
