...prevented the subtly shifting balance of up to eight voice parts from being clearly perceived, especially in the intricate In Ecclesiis and Jubilate Dco. Nevertheless, these works achieved a tremendous excitement, due in no small part to the assistance of an excellent brass choir. The Gabrieli Benedictus and O Jesu Mi Duleissime, on the other hand, were realized with a greater transparency of texture, perhaps because the vocal masses were more evenly balanced against each other in these works. Also, in the case of the Benedictus, the choirs were distributed in three parts of Sanders Theatre while in O Jesu...
After a somewhat colorless cantata by Buxtchude, the audience found itself four centuries after Machaut and finally on more familiar ground with Bach's cantata No. 32, Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen. The performance, featuring two excellent soloists, Jean Lunn, soprano, and Vincent Allison, baritone, was smooth and often moving. Violinist Helena Pappenheimer and oboeist Robert Freeman also deserve special commendation for their rendition of the instrumental obbligatos...
...knees before the Holy Door of St. Peter's, white-mantled Pope Pius XII lifted a golden trowel. In the center of the door's threshold, he placed a dab of slaked lime with the words: "In fide et virtute Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Filii Dei Vivi [In the faith and the strength of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God]."

...prolific hymn writer of all was Methodism's Charles Wesley, who turned out the words of some 7,000. Hymns were an important means of spreading the Methodist doctrine of salvation for all, as opposed to the dour Puritan teaching of predestination. Wesley's most successful effort: Jesu, lover of my soul, of which Henry Ward Beecher said: "I would rather have written that hymn than to have the fame of all the kings that ever sat upon the earth." Brother John Wesley, a busy hymn writer himself, issued some precepts to choirs which, thinks Jefferson, might well...
...laurels really belong to Mr. Patterson, the conductor. At no time was there the slightest doubt that he was in complete control and knew just what he was doing. He has a sense of contrast and dramatic effect which he has trained his musicians to execute. The mighty invocation, "Jesu Christe," followed by a bursting "Cum Saneto Spiritu" was as impressive as any singing around. Though the memory of the "Dona Nobis Pacem" was destroyed by a recessional hymn, it was, while it lasted, no less than magnificent...
