...Sunday Choir, however, practices each piece for about an hour before performing it. Somerville emphasizes sight reading and efficiency in rehearsals. He says choir members build a set of valuable skills in the process: "Quick noticing of what's going on, listening very hard, retention of what's been said--I don't stop the choir unless it's necessary so they know that when I do what I say is important," he says...
...often pegged the "other tradition" of the twentieth century avant-garde, the irrational alternative to high modernism's fixation on form, structure and dogma.

The courts should feel no reluctance to interpret (albeit generously) the terms of university regulations and serve as the last...
...Because] he's a damn good playwright," said David Corlette '96, one of the designers of Trollius and Cressida's rave-style lighting. Director Martijn Hostetler '00 agreed, saying "I think people choose do to Shakespeare because he's a terrific writer. Many times during our rehearsal process we'll read over a certain passage a couple of times, and marvel at how wonderfully complex and expressive...
