...Symphony of Psalms on display, a work commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) in 1930. That year was a particularly important one for the BSO, which also commissioned Hanson’s “Romantic” Symphony, Copland’s Symphonic Ode, and Roussel’s Third Symphony, among other pieces, to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It was wonderful to hear the orchestra on Thursday night playing the Symphony of Psalms, a work that the BSO has championed since its creation...
...first of two stunningly executed sets, the group called upon the folk song “Scarborough Fair” and a little known Gershwin standard, “Soon.” Perhaps the most compelling diversion was one of Scofield’s elegant compositions, an ode to his wife entitled “Mrs. Scofield’s Waltz.” A lyrical and haunting ballad, it allowed Black to soar over the melody, as he engaged in touching introspective moments in the middle register and soaring to plaintive highs in upper octaves. As such, work...
...success of SAT blockers often turns on more subjective measures, such as a student's writing style--Mount Holyoke requires three essays and one graded writing sample--or her poise during an interview.

...strength of Ashcroft's personal beliefs is what scares so many people and thrills so many others. That issue was revived last week as the newscasts replayed his remarks at Bob Jones University, an ode to a country that has "no king but Jesus," which sent a shudder through the ranks of First Amendment watchdogs. Being Attorney General is not just about enforcing the law, it is also about changing it, deciding which laws to challenge, how aggressively to prosecute and where to throw your best lawyers. Women's groups question his willingness to enforce laws protecting access to abortion...
