On a certain day recently at a certain camp of one of the armed forces located in a certain near-by town, the Harvard Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society gave a free concert. All the circumstances of the concert are military secrets, However we are allowed to comment on the music itself.

The Glee Club under the direction of Harold Schmidt opened the concert with "Let Your Celestial Concerts All Unite" from the oratorio "Judas Maccabeus" by George Frederick Handel, rendered with the usual precision but without the usual roundness of tone. In the second number, "Gentle Johnny", and English folk song arranged for men's chorus, the tone was much better and the meaning of each line came out with the expressiveness, characteristic of the English type of melody. The best, however, of the first half of the program was "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence", and old French melody arranged for chorus by Gustav Holst. Paul Tibbetts '44, sang the baritone solo with admirable power and expression, despite the dissonant piano accompaniment.

The Glee Club was then joined by the Radcliffe Choral Society in singing "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" from the Brahm's Requiom by Brahm's. This, the most ambitious number on the program and the most popular part of the Brahm's Requiem, was probably the best part of the program, although a selection from Iolanthe by Gilbert and Sullivan, sung by the Glee Club alone with tremendous power and enthusiasm was evidently preferred by the servicemen.

The Radcliffe Choral Society then rendered a few selections for women's chorus alone including three Hungarian Folk Songs by Bela Bartok; "Only Tell Me", "Do Not Leave Me", and the "Teasing Song". They also sang "Awake Ye Wintry Earth", a Dutch chorale of the sixteenth century, and the Bach Chorale "Now All the Woods Are Sleeping".

The two choruses united again for the final number, "Let All the World in Every Corner Sing", and Antiphon by Vaughn Williams.
