...with a serene song in the strings, reminiscent of the green beauty of the Connecticut countryside. In the slow third movement come the "Bach tunes" in full brass, while the strings are skittering at something else.

Police threw tear gas into Albizu's beleaguered headquarters. From the balcony, Albizu waggled a soiled white towel on the end of a broom in token of surrender...
