Then, "You Can't Live Crooked (and Think Straight)": "If you want to save your nation Before it's too late, Let's stop our crooked living, and--think straight!" And "Freedom Isn't Free": "From Vietnam to Alamein, Our fighting men will have died in vain, If we just go on with our comfort and ease, Doing exactly as we dang well please!" It was stirring.

Adams knows how to save his performers' potential for the proper moment, and he is able to achieve the most striking dynamic effects without the least exaggeration or grotesquerie. He elicited a performance that was clear and enunciatorily precise even in the most complex fugal passages. He was also sensitive enough to maintain a continuous musical line and forward motion in spite of his deliberately slow pacing. Former math major or no, Adams is quite a musician. His Lacrymosa, even if most of the section is not Mozart's, was beatific...
