Despite shaky intonation at the beginning of the piece, the orchestra played with appropriately dry, exact rhythm, supported by the remarkably pure tone of the French horns. The first clarinet (Billy T. Marks ’11) delivered a nuanced solo, and the orchestra maneuvered quick changes from quick rhythmic jabs to charming, almost sarcastic melodic sections.

When the lyrics are plodding and over-deliberate, a surprise guitar lick or nice chord progression on the piano keeps things from getting too dull. The sound is thoroughly...
