...week, in Manhattan's Carnegie Hall, Conductor Mitropoulos played Cortés' work with the Philharmonic-Symphony. Its first movement (Kyrie) was a slightly stolid development of an oId Mexican tune in slow tempo; its second (Sanctus) was as reedy and antique sounding as a drafty baroque organ; its finale (Dies Irae), driven by busy motoric rhythms, included some fine furious flights of imagination and a paraphrase of an ancient Gregorian Dies Irae...
...looks of shocked indignation that passed over the pious and well-meaning faces of the Broadcasting and Films Commission of the National Council of Churches. His criticisms are long overdue. A basic misunderstanding of Christianity, which is a philosophy of life demanding fortitude and effort, has led to syrupy organ music, sweet-voiced heroes and heroines and gravelly-voiced villains, which put most religious programs on the level of moralistic soap operas . . . the casual listener is revolted by . . . sepulchral voices drumming out reworded platitudes (most of which are slowly but surely wearing the shine off the Golden Rule...

The language of the communiqué might...
Equally simple but less important is Perry Organ's series of remarks on The Gospel Witch in the third issue. Nevertheless, Miss Organ's commentaries, which deal with the written play rather than with the recent performance, are equally clear and to the point. In line with a policy of printing essays of current critical interest, the editors hope in the next issue to include an article on Edith Sitwell's phonetic theories...
