The program then proceeds through the works of Schutz, Scarlatti, Da Palestrina, and Carissimi. The final number, "Jephthah" an Oratorio, will be rendered by three soloiste, Amy Browne Townsend, Naney Loring, and James H. Townsend.

Mr. Woodworth, who will wield the baton in this presentation was the joint conductor, with Dr. A. T. Davison '05, of the Harvard Glee Club in its concert in honor of Gustav Holst.
