...midriver. With a mock-serious air, the neutralist chief delegate drew a lurid picture of the dangers that the princes would face on a raft in the midst of the monsoon-swollen torrent, where they might be swept away along with all hopes for peace. Rising to a fever pitch, he enumerated all those who would have to be with the princes-advisers, guards, servants-and the proposed raft grew to the size of Noah's Ark. When laughter had subsided, he finally proposed that the meetings should alternate between both banks of the river...

Sinewy and biting, the music called for an unerring sense of rhythm and pitch, and the Gregg Smith Singers responded on cue like a well-oiled machine.
