With ups and downs, Alfred Nash Patterson and his ambitious Polyphonic Choir of Christ Church have been presenting rarely sung sacred music. Such a group is much needed in a community which spends most of its efforts on Bach's B-Minor Mass and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. They were particularly welcomed Monday night when they gave Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor in its first Boston performance in Trinity Church. The crow which filled every seat and stood in every open space made this pretty clear...
...part of shepherdess Damon was sung by June Donald from the Longy School in a touching natural way. Acis, played by James Perrin, was the only incongruous character. His costume, a combination of long underwear and a green and pink midriff, seemed to clash with everything in sight. Nor did he show the skill at stylization of the other characters, but remained pompously planted throughout most of the production.

...almost by default, from a long line of free-spending, haughty, and sometimes charming dowagers.

...True, Dear first hit the U.S. last May, thousands of fans bought the platter and listened. Here, for a change, was a girl who really sang, straight out and straight on the beat, instead of cooing mushily and straying away from the band. Last month, her warmly sung Again crept into Variety as a comer on the coin machines. By last week, Vera and Again seemed headed straight for the hit parade...
...Town Hall, Contralto Ferrier had no topnotch Glyndebourne production behind her, although she did have a familiar Euridice opposite her: U.S. Soprano Ann Ayars, who had sung the role with her in England and on records.#&134; But Conductor Thomas K. Scherman's Little Orchestra (38 players) and 40 singers from the Westminster Choir got into the graceful spirit of Gluck's music with the overture, and stayed in it to the last gaily triumphant note. It was, however, the dramatically restrained passion of Kathleen Ferrier's singing, in a voice that is even and full through...
