Joint Glee Clubs Vocalize Tonight

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

New Haven's old Woolsey Hall will resound with several hundred male voices at 8:30 p.m. tonight, when the Harvard and Yale Glee Clubs convene for their annual game-eve concert.

A specially prepared arrangement by Walter Piston, Jr. '24, Naumberg Professor of Music, will highlight the program. Professor Piston has arranged George W. Chadwick's "Ecce Jam Noctis" for male chorus, brass, and woodwind.

The Yale Band will provide the instrumental background.

Whiffenpoofs Sing

During most of the concert, the two singing groups will perform separately. However, they will open and close the program together, raising the curtain with the Chadwick piece and bowing out with the Harvard and Yale alma maters.

Squeezed into the program somewhere, the Elis' famous Whiffenpoofs will also stretch their vocal cords.

No loss than 14 composers will be represented, while old English glees and Negro spirituals are also on the schedule.
