Foundry Methodist Church pre-
scented an extended Christmas
cantata, This Day." by Ralph
Vaughan Williams. This work,
written for the Worcester Festi-
val, September 8, 1854, draws
its words from the Scriptures,
with interpretations by the poets
John Milton, Miles Coverdale,
Thomas Hardy, William Drum
mond, W. Ballet, George Her
bert, and Ursula Wood.
The structure Of the work re-
sembles that Of a passion, rather
than an oratorio. The narration
is carried forward by a single
voice, an alto in this case, not
the tenor who is the usual
evangelist in a passion, while
solo voices and the choir bring
out various aspects of the story.
The work is occasionally beauti-
full, and falls short of excellence
chiefly because of the rather
tepid harmony and the absence
Of musical reinforcement for
some of the noble and occasion
ally jubilant words.
1t is at its best in moments
Of tenderness, such as the
first soprano solo, st was the
winter Wild" exquisitely sung
by Lee Meredith, and the chorus,
mo sad thought his soul af-
fright"
The choir had the work well
in hand. Accuracy was rein
forced by the use of a second
conductor in full view of the
choir. The soloists, the regular
solo quartet of the church, were
well prepared, and carried out
their assignments with profess
SiOnal ease. The one who had
the most work, Ruth Pitts, sang
the narratives and was quite ca
pable. Her diction was clear;
she stayed on pitch; and gave
her lines a sort of unassuming
clarity that was most appro-
pirate.
There was one small concerted
piece, a lullaby sung by Lee
Meredith, Helene Snyder, and
an unidentified contralto, that
was quite lovely. All in all, it
was a good performance of an
interesting piece Of Christmas
music that is not sung too often.

The annual Christmas con-

night was made a special affair
because the university is en-
tering upon its diamond jubilee
year. Phyllis Curtin was i'm
ported as soprano soloist with
the university orchestra of some
so players and chorus of 80. The
program also featured the first
American performance of a
cantata on the subject of the
Nativity by French Composer
Gilbert Becaud.
There was a maximum turn
out for the concert, with all
available seats in the gymna-
sum taken before the music
began, and a substantial num-

entrusted the premiere of the

with a great deal Of enthusiasm
and a certain style.
The Becaud piece is a simple
and tuneful work which builds

They recalled Mr.. Korth for

the prolonged investigation
would end.
The charge was hurled at
members of the Senate In

He called the report "a late

effect, an advertisement of
claims, a brochure, a pamph-
let" Mr.. Wright said that if
the Navy Secretary had ac-
cepted it, he would have been
guilty of a decision by bro

The report included some
changes in the Boeing proposal
which the military reckoned
would eliminate q General
Dynamics advantage in speed
and maneuverability at high
attitudes. According to evil

The testimony in last Fri
