YALE GLEE CLUB

*Year after year, at home and abroad, this chorus evokes the highest praises*

"Hollywood never told us that in the United States there exists a chorus as perfect as the Yale Glee Club. . . . (The program) brought to the audience moments of great beauty and deep emotion."

—Rio de Janeiro *O Jornal* (1941)

"The visit of the Yale Glee Club to South America at the very moment in which all nations of the western hemisphere are united in a supreme ideal of liberty is not only a spiritual bond between our peoples but also the most beautiful message of fraternal understanding."

—Valparaiso *El Mercurio* (1941)

"The Yale Glee Club came, sang, and conquered. . . . This was more than a local popular concert; it was an artistic event. . . . The style is evident, it has made Yale famous."

—Frankfurt am Main *Neue Presse* (1949)

"The cleverness in the performance of many difficult songs was amazing. . . . The applause was colossal."

—Copenhagen *National Tidende* (1949)

"The cleanest of vocal production in both tenor and bass spoke of a perfected training system, while musical accuracy and sympathetic artistry placed each composer's thoughts in their proper frames."

—Buffalo *Buffalo Courier Express* (1950)

"This well disciplined group demonstrated richness of tone and a variety of nuances. Amplitude, majesty captivating the hearts of the audience. . . . These songs rendered with balance, ingenuity, without excess, bore witness to the good taste of artists who already had won the sympathy of the audience."

—Port-au-Prince, *Haiti Jornal* (1951)

MARSHALL BARTHOLOMEW
*Conductor*

"The Yale singers and their conductor, Mr. Bartholomew, have discovered the secret of choral singing that is both musically interesting and entertaining. The completeness of their training is seen in the clean attacks, the security in complex harmonies, and in the grasp of style. The enthusiasm of the audience was at a high pitch throughout the concert."

—Washington *Washington Evening Star* (1951)

"The Yale Glee Club . . . was conducted on this occasion by Fenno Heath in the performances of short choral pieces, admirably sung, by Dowland, Vaughan Williams, and Gustav Holst; so that an encore to this group was essential."

—New York *New York Times* (1952)
