finish.

Singers Give Brahm's
In Palm Sunday Performance
BY SAM WARREN.
"Truly memorable" is an in
adequate way to describe the per
formance by the University Sing
ers of Brahms' "Requiem," Sun
day at First -Plymouth Congre
gational church. Under the direc
tion of th conductor, Dr. Ar
thur E. Westbrook, the 120 sing
ers with Myron Roberts at the
organ, gave to the glorious choral
work a moving and highly profes
sional reading which the audience
filling the sanctuary and balcony
of the church will not forget.
The choral work was notable
for its accuracy and precision of
phrasing, for the sectional alert
ness and precision within the
choir carefully-drawn tonal shad
ings that ranged from a quiet
resignation in the second portion,
"Behold, all flesh is as the grass,"
to the unbounded exultation of
the closing , sentence, "Grave

where Is thy sting?"
