Boston Composers in National Music Teachers Meeting Review
Boston composers are praised for strong works at a Chicago concert under the National Music Teachers Association. Maas’s Will o the Wisp is a delicate descriptive piece tempered by performance issues. Beck and Thomas directed various pieces. Foote’s string suite is praised for lucidity and grace. Chadwick’s work is scholarly but densely scored, Maas’s violin concerto has a vigorous finale but a quieter second movement and a weak opening allegro. Maas’s solo writing shows effectiveness with capable performers.
