...bounding beat on bass and drums (Jimmy Woode and Sam Woodyard). The Duke himself tweaked an occasional fragment on the high piano. Gradually, the beat began to ricochet from the audience as more and more fans began to clap hands on the offbeats until the crowd was one vast, rhythmic chorus, yelling its approval. There were howls of "More! More!" and there was dancing in the aisles. One young woman broke loose from her escort and rioted solo around the field, while a young man encouraged her by shouting, "Go, go, go!" Festival officials began to fear that something like...
Heartz' harpsichord playing had some rhythmic tentativeness and wrong notes, but was adequate on the whole. As soloist he played Byrd's showy Praeludium and jaunty variations on the folk tune The Carman's Whistle. But most intriguing was Hugh Aston's Hornepype, taken from the earliest source of English harpsichord music; this too was a set of variations--not on a tune, but rather on a repeated bass pattern.

The concerts, which are "half-classical," will take place every evening starting tonight (July 2) and lasting until July 14, with the exception of Saturday, July 7. The site is the Hatch Memorial Shell just off Boston's Storrow Drive, and the price, happily enough, is nothing. Just get on the subway and bring a blanket...
Organ recital given Sunday afternoon in Memorial Church by seven Harvard, Wellesley and Radcliffe students. General level of performance surprisingly high. Best playing done by James Armstrong (Mendelssohn's Second Sonata) and Kerala Johnson (the long-winded B-Minor Choral of Franck). The others need to work for greater rhythmic precision and vitality, and for clearer articulation...
