...November 26th, at 8:15, with a concert by Ernest White, distinguished organists of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City. From a large repertory of seventeenth and eighteenth century music, Mr. White has chosen for his program works from rarely heard German and English composers, Handel and Bach, and the "Prelude, Fugue and Variation" by Cesar Franck...
...stock routine of standard works, not enough probing into minor musical literature. It is true, of course, that classical and pre-classical music exists largely in small forms, unfit for the symphony orchestra. But there are over a hundred symphonics by Haydn, suites from Bach, Telemann, and Handel. Why should we be forced to listen to ten performances of the Tchaikowski Pathetique for every one of the Mozart E-flat? Is it because classical music is comparatively quiet and unexciting that it is so neglected? The E-flat symphony is, in my opinion at least, a greater masterpiece than...
...neglect many equally good, but less known works. It takes time, energy and patience to train as orchestra in a new piece, which may be the reason why Barbirolli continues to ride his hobbyhorses of Weber overtures when he might well be exploring the overtures of Gluck and Handel, and why such a conscientious musician as Koussevitzky will in concert after concert stick to Sibelins's first two symphonics, the weakest of them all, and let the greatest, the Sixth and Seventh, gather dust on a shelf...
There, last week, by simple notification to the Government, moved four of Holland's largest banks (Javasche Bank. Neder-landsche Handel Mij., Nederlandsche In-dische Escompto Mij. and Nederlandsch Indische Handelsbank).

In London, Manhattan and Batavia, operators of the Dutch fleet of 1,500 merchantmen have already set up joint offices and Dutch shipping is doing business as usual, except that Holland ports have been dropped from call, except that in war zones its ships join Allied...
Some ten thousand men of Harvard--not to mention nearly half of Cambridge's female population--jammed Sever Quadrangle last evening to hear Conductor Woodworth lead his Glee Club through a program which packed plenty of musical oomph. "Casey Jones" rode the rails again, while Handel's "Samson" buffeted the pillars of Widener. Judging by its tumultuous applause, academic Cambridge clearly appreciated the first of these free, outdoor concerts...
