...other speakers displayed an equivalent lack of unanimity, particularly in their views of the senatorial campaign, which has presented a dilemma for the A.D.A. state chairman LaRue Brown '04 denounced Furcolo. Hector M. Holmes '06, head of the Boston law firm, contented himself with endorsing Herter for governor. Joseph Cass, political action director of the state C.I.O. and the only non-A.D.A. member of the panel, completed the confusion by going down the line for the Democratic ticket...
...Hector Berlioz, the ideal orchestra consisted of 242 strings, 30 grand pianos, 30 harps, legions of wind players and (according to 19th century wags) a few heavy mortars. He was never able to command such an aggregation, but several times he came close, notably in his most magnificent score, the Grande Messe des Morts (Requiem). That opus calls for a 210-member chorus, full symphony orchestra, four separate brass choirs (labeled according to the points of the compass), plus a battery of 16 kettledrums.

During the whole romantic and impressionist era, only a handful of composers bothered to write for the organ, and what they wrote was largely insignificant. But in recent decades, the pope of the musical world has begun a major comeback. Modern U.S. composers * Walter Piston, Roger Sessions, Quincy Porter, Leo Sowerby-have written dozens of organ pieces, and U.S. audiences have found...
