...Music Club's Good Friday Concert, given last night in the Fogg Museum Courtyard, was superbly planned to express the spirit and significance of the religious season. The principal work was the oratorio The Seven Words of Christ on the Cross by Heinrich Schuetz, a German composer who lived a century before Bach.
