Harvard's Glee Club and Radcliffe's Choral Society presented their annual Cambridge concert last night in Sanders Theatre. In addition to the well-filled auditorium audiences throughout New England heard the program over the Yankee Network's frequency modulation system.

A contrasting repertoire of less familiar classical pieces and several extremely modern choral numbers was offered by the two groups under the direction of G. Wallace Woodworth '24, associate professor of Music.

Chief work on the program was the world's premiere of "The Defense of Corinth." In the modern manner it combines a choral narrative with vocal choruses. The narrative, written by Elliot Carter '30, was rendered by Quinten Hope '42.

This presentation was the second that Carter has prepared especially for the Harvard Glee Club. In 1937 his first number, "Tarantella," a similar story in song, was presented by the group.

The concert opened with a Mozart Cantata and included selections from the Palestine Masses and the Cherubin: "Requiem in C Minor." The latter number was presented as a memorial for the one-hundredth anniversary of the death of its composer.

Featured in the second part of the program was a capella chorus by Norman Lockwood from a text by Walt Whitman. In 1938 it was awarded the World Fair choral composition prize. Other numbers included four choruses from Offenbach's opera "La Bella Helene," folk songs arranged by Dvorak and Delany, and three Bach chorales.
