High praise is the keynote of the review by H. T. Parker '89 of the University Glee Club's performance last night of Brahms' "Requiem," conducted by M. Serge Koussevitsky. Mr. Parker, writing in the Transcript, describes the performance, by the Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral Society, as follows:

"Beside the wonder and the transport of the music stood the wonder and the possession of the performance. Two choirs, three hundred strong, of young voices fresh-timbred, full-throated, plastic, susceptible: sopranos of luster, altos velvet-piled, the striding richness of basses, the bright ascent of tenors. Two choirs schooled also in the usual and the exceptional virtues of choral singing; then practised in this music, every accent and modulation, every gradient and climax, had become a free, full speech.

"To such devotion through long months, amongst many another work and pleasure, will our youth yet give themselves because this music and this singing frees they know not what quickening within them. In such devotion will a musician, a man, a leader, of Dr. Davison's temper, pursue such endless and exacting toil. Nobody calls it art, nobody names it uplift. Everybody fights shy of such shamming. Self-expression and release are the better words--with Brahms of the Requiem for channel and Dr. Davison for steersman.

"Then the hours, the final hours, that shall make incandescent this choral virtue, these songful freedoms, that musical understanding, such stir and mood already a-beat and aglow. Dr. Davison began them; Mr. Koussevitsky finished them. The audience sat in away and thrall to the power and the beauty so engendered."
