The first part of the program
seemed to me the best in that the
Club seemed more responsive to the
works. The stage was attractively
decorated in the spirit of Christmas,
and the Glee Club proceeded from
various parts of Cabell Hall onto
the stage singing Handel's "Alleluia."
Especially notable were three
diverse settings of the traditional
"Hodie Christmas natus est" by
Poulenc, in Medieval Plainsong, and
finally Heinrich Schutz's setting.
The vocal coloration of this group
improves each year under the
direction of Mr. Loach.
