Princeton kicked off the concert with an unnecessarily dull interpretation of a selection from Heinrich Schutz's "Symphoniae Sacrae I." The major portion of Princeton's first half was given to a semi-dramatic treatment of selections from the opera "Richard Coeur-de Lion" by Andre Ernest Modeste Gretry. Despite the appropriateness of the light-hearted portions they performed, the choice was unfortunate.

Other works on the program include Omnes Gentes by Jacob Handl; Psalm 84, by Heinrich Schutz; and two motets, Ich Lasse Dich Nicht, by J.C. Bach, and Warum ist Das Licht Gegeben, by Brahms.

The concluding work on the program, Schutz's version of Psalm 84, was also competently performed. In all, it was quite a concert. Someone had quite evidently put a lot of work into...
