...inspirational hillbilly music-a Norman Vincent Apeale to a Lawrence Welk constituency. The music is no mere come-on; in the hour-long show, Humbard's sermon usually takes little more than 15 minutes. The Cathedral Singers-including Rex's wife Maude Aimee, a pert, peppery, brunette soprano who becomes properly demure for the Gospel numbers-are the stars.

Much less original than his 1950 Broadway success The Consul, or even his recent and endearing children's opera Help! Help! The Globolinks, the new opera hardly represents a step forward for Menotti. Yet its smooth orchestrations...
...BACH Society orchestra can claim fame as the orchestra that brought you the "Concerto Scene" in Love Story. This weekend, though, there's a real concert, featuring two works for soprano performed by Pene lope Jense. Mrs. Jensen, a graduate of the Ed School, has not sung in this kar with the unmistakable Frenchness area since the Monteverdi Vespers of 1966. since the Monteverdi Vespers of 1966. since then, she has soloed with the Cleveland Orchestra under Sixteen Ehrling and the Atlanta Symphony under Robert Shaw; Saturday she performs the Bach "Wedding Cantata" and the rarely performed Quatre Poems Hindous...
