After trailing by two points at half-time, mainly on the hot shooting of Pete Kelley, the Crimson took the lead with a little over 16 minutes remaining in the second half on a jump shot by Gary Borchard. Greg Heath tied the score at for the Bruins on a rebound, and then the roof fell and the sides with...
...curtain rose on a heath full of shaggy, diabolical hags hurling harsh-mouthed imprecations into the night. Their wild language was a witches' brew of medieval Bavarian dialect, laced with great lumps of Latin and Greek; in the background, no fewer than 20 different percussion instruments fired the cauldron with a tingling, thwunking cacophony. Anyone wandering into Stuttgart's Opera House last week would have quickly recognized, in both words and music, the style of Germany's most highly regarded living composer, Carl (Carmina Burana) Orff, 65.

Then, as if by divine providence, they plummeted into the depths-via stage elevator. Five shepherds struggled across the snowy heath, settled in Brueghel postures around a fire, described their dreams in which angels told them (in Latin) of the Nativity. The scene was the heart of the pageant, but except for a roaring wind machine, the music had stopped completely; it was the ultimate development of a composer who has long since ceased writing...

They sang with almost mathematical precision not only in the folk songs, but in their entire repertoire. Mr. Heath was in full control all the time, evoking a wide range of dynamics and a very effective separation and balance of voices. From a technical standpoint, Yale topped Harvard, but in overall appeal the Harvardmen...
