The Harvard Glee Club conducted by Archibald T. Davison gave its first concert of the year in Symphony Hall last night. Mme Louise Homer assisted as contralto. Despite a bad storm, the hall was crowded with a distinguished audience.
The review praises Dr. Davison and his rotating choir of men delivering flawless unaccompanied pieces. The performance opened with Bach's Crucifixus and featured seamless, pianissimo endings and precise ensemble harmony throughout the concert indicating superior vocal unity under the conductor.
A concert review notes Mme. Homer’s dynamic performance of Brahms Rhapsody and Russian songs, praising the choir’s Volga Boatmen piece as marvellous. Homer’s range and power shine in Pioggia and other numbers, though some opening color and upper notes lack vibrancy. The Hallelujah Chorus closes with grand, resonant chords, and Sidney Homer’s How’s So Boy 2 provides a notable encore.
At a Lawrence school board meeting on December 14, James D. Horne was chosen to lead Lawrence High School and its evening schools as headmaster after 09 years of service, with retirement set for June.
