Glee Club to Give Princeton Recital

The Glee Club opens its 1953-'54 season this Friday evening with the annual Princeton football concert.

This concert will have an international note as the Chorus of the University of Helsinki will sing several selections of their native music. The Helsinki Chorus is also to appear in a series of concerts with the Boston Symphony under Charles Munch.

Two Philippine folk songs, commissioned this summer by the Glee Club, will be presented for the first time Friday night. The songs, "Sampaguita" and "Lulay," are folk songs arranged for men's chorus by native composers.

The Princeton Glee Club, conducted by Carl Weinrich, noted organist and Lamb Visiting Lecturer at Harvard in 1950, will perform several old English glees, folk songs by Stravinsky, Vaughan Williams, and Kodaly, and works by Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Sullivan.

The Harvard Glee Club will sing selections by Bach, Lotti, and Berlioz, and a group of Welsh and Italian folk songs and choruses from Gilbert and Sullivan arranged by Archibald T. Davison.

Both Glee Clubs will sing the traditional football songs, and will join in a performance of "Let Their Celestial Concerts All Unite," by Handel.
