On a large patio lined with flapping flags and dotted with tables shaded by orange umbrellas, customers eat inexpensive sandwiches (an overstuffed club sandwich costs $1.50) while the Eidelweiss Duo, decked out in Alpine costumes and playing accordions, punctuate their German and Austrian songs with an occasional yodel. As the sun goes down, people move indoors, and High Camp begins to resemble a cross between a sophisticated coffeehouse and a stylish supper club.

And to top it off, they sang Fenno Heath's settings of three Blake poems, which employ only the most common place harmonies and rhythms and convey little of the poems' meanings. Indeed, several of the Whiffenpoofs' own songs were more imaginative. Heath's arrangements...
