II. SACRED MUSIC
Hospodi Pomiloi
S. V. Lvovsky

This is a highly dramatic setting of a phrase taken from Russian liturgical tradition. The words "Hospodi Pomiloi" are best translated "Have mercy, Oh Lord". The service of the Russian Church is chanted and sung. The simple phrase "Hospodi Pomiloi" is sung frequently by the choir as a response, either in unison or harmony during the service. Lvovsky has built a complete composition on this phrase, just as Mozart composed an entire song on the word alleluia. It is not a "stunt song", but a cry to God for mercy and strength. It is sung at that point in the service at which the priest raises aloft the cross, lowers it slowly, and elevates it again, symbolizing the crucifixion, the descent into the grave, and the triumphant resurrection.

Plorate, Filii Israel
Giacomo Carissimi (1604-1674)

Archibald Davison has arranged many of the motets of the 16th and 17th centuries for male voices and has included these arrangements in the Harvard Glee Club Series. The text of this motet is taken from the Bible and describes the sadness of the daughters of Israel as they weep for the daughter of Jephtha. Jephtha promised that he would sacrifice his daughter if the Israelites were successful in battle and when the victory was accomplished the promise was kept. The music of this motet is highly expressive though the overall effect is created through simplicity. Particularly notable is the setting of the word "lamentamini, lamentamini" which is repeated several times and is used to end the motet in a hushed pianissimo.

III. CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
Northern Lights
Selim Palmgren

Selim Palmgren is well known for his colorful and exciting music for male chorus. *Northern Lights* is a highly descriptive piece and vividly portrays the shimmering, pulsating quality inherent in the title. After the "lights" have subsided, the music builds slowly to the final brilliant climax. The setting of the words "the radiant world's aflame!" leads us to a high, suspended chord which ends the piece though it remains harmonically unresolved. Palmgren is one of the outstanding Scandinavian composers and has written many choral works as well as orchestral music in larger forms.

Sam Was A Man
Vincent Persichetti

Vincent Persichetti is one of America's outstanding young composers. He has written music in many different media and this setting of a poem by E. E. Cummings has proved to be one of his most successful choral pieces. It is written in two parts and can be sung either by women, men, or a combination of both. The piano accompaniment is extremely witty and important. The text of the piece can be summed up in the sentence which begins and concludes: 'sam was a man grinned his grin done his chores laid him down. Sleep well.' The music is marked by rhythmic syncopations which drive it ahead.

Psalm IX (1956)
Solo: DOUGLAS H. BANKER, '59
Fenno Heath, '50

This composition by Fenno Heath, director of the Yale Glee Club is receiving its first performance this season. It was composed during the past summer and is an *a cappella* setting for four-part male chorus with an important baritone solo. The music divides itself into three main sections. The opening section begins with the words, "I will praise Thee, Oh Lord, with my whole heart". The second section is devoted to the more reflective baritone solo which begins with the words, "But the Lord shall endure forever". The third and last section returns to the mood set at the beginning of the piece and starts with the words, "Sing praises to the Lord which dwelleth in Zion". The music ends with a dramatic setting of the words, "I will rejoice in Thy salvation".
