Features of the program are the "Chanson a Baire" dedicated to the Club by Monsleu Poulenc, and "Tribulationes" by Virgil Thomson '22, now an assistant in the Music Department. The latter, though essentially modern, retains throughout the spirit of the 15th Century, the words being taken from an anthem in a collection of the Vatlean Choir...
