...Wallace Woodworth, with the aid of the Harvard Glee Club, Radcliffe Choral Society, and the Navy Communications School Glee Club, added another scalp to his already impressive collection. The program itself was a combination of the very old and the very new; Vaughan Williams was followed by Allegri, Sweelinck by Milhaud, Bartok by Mozart, and Mozart by Fine. But in every case the desired effect was attained...

...that Weinrich is playing will be enjoyed by a good many people for its directness and simplicity of utterance, and a certain Germanic vigor, but that after a time, Buxtehude will return to the dust from whence he sprung, in the last judgment valuable only as an influence. Sweelinck, too, will prove to many that importance does not necessarily mean dullness, but will then creep back into his historic little cubby-hole, into that dictionary significance which is only one shelf above oblivion.
