...Beveridge '59. Beveridge combined modal harmony to a nicely vocal melody but, for the only time during the concert, the singers' intonation was somewhat faulty. Radcliffe sang Vaughan Williams' Winter, and the chorus' cleanest attacks of the evening helped make this piece strong and exciting. The first sopranos were shrill, however, in the upper register...

The day after last week's Supreme Court opinion, an editorial in the influential Richmond (Va.) News Leader made clear the nature of this opposition. Excerpts...
