HGC TO OFFER MODERN WORK

Besides a special glee club called from members of the Harvard Navy Communications School, the Harvard Glee Club's concert with the Radcliffe Choral Society in Sanders Theatre March 4 will feature works by two of the world's greatest living composers.

Celebrating the 70th birthday of Vaughan Williams, England's most outstanding contemporary musical creator, Harvard and Radcliffe will join in singing his "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." Highlighting the program also will be two choruses by Bela Bartok, considered the greatest of Hungary's modern contributors and now lecturer on music at Harvard under the Horatio Appleton Lamb fund.

The newly-formed Navy group, under the leadership of Irving Fine '37 offers a group of sea chanties featuring the glee "To All You Ladies on Land," and will also join with the Harvard singers to present "Casey Jones," an American stand-by arranged for MGC by Edward Lawton '34.

Radcliffe's solo contribution to the concert will be some choruses written by Mabel Daniela, Radcliffe '00 especially for the club.

Presentations by Harvard alone will include two 17th century psalms, "Miserere," by Allegri, and Sweelinck's "Psalm 134," and a modern musical arrangement of the 121st psalm, composed especially for the Harvard Glee Club by Darius Milhand, inspired by the club's European tour in 1921. A special group of Harvard singers will offer three Mozart canons.
