...producer Clara H. Kim ’09 said that the cast and crew confronted various challenges while staging this modern piece, which conforms to the Mozart model in its organizational structure but strays from those constraints with an offbeat musical content in keeping with Stravinsky’s rhythmic innovations. “We had some reservations because of the difficulty of the vocal writing, which can be virtuosic and unidiomatic at times, and also the difficulty of the orchestra parts,” Kim said. “However, it was our first choice from almost the beginning...
...Martin said. Quinnipiac also refocused its attack in the third, outshooting Harvard 16-14. Prior to the third, however, the Bobcats’ offensive efforts lacked the zeal mustered in the final period. The first two periods belonged to the Crimson, who attacked the Quinnipiac net in a rhythmic fashion that wore down the Bobcats defense and forced Qunnipiac goaltender Tia Wishart to frequently swipe at dangerously close pucks.

The symphony returned to a lively dance with the onset of the Presto. This time, images of an elegant ball came to mind. Skirling strings and a majestic trio in between the scherzo were followed...
...Poetry? Awkward. Poetry readings? I’m wincing just typing this. In general, sincerity is awkward. So are most things that require effort or enthusiasm, which explains the awkwardness of rhythmic gymnastics. Serious beliefs are awkward, especially religious ones. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with them, it’s just that people’s real, heart-felt, deeply held beliefs are, well, “not easy to handle or deal with, requiring great skill, ingenuity, or care”—in a word, awkward.
