He speaks of "a slight increase in church attendance." If he is referring to Memorial Church, he might with safety apply a somewhat more robust adjective than "slight."

In equally excellent accompaniment by a brass choir from the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra highlighted the performance of Jubilate Deo, a robust sacred work by the 16th Century Venetian master Giovanni Gabrieli. The choice of this concluding work was a happy one, balancing the opening Palestrina work of the same period but of completely different style.
