This was ! sung with the sincerity and feeling for which Robert Shaw's singers are best known. Following the hour-long Mass, the chorus sang a group of nine charming waltzes by Brahms and three little fables by Ravel, "Nic oletteJV "Three Lovely Birds of Paradise, and "Roundelay.' , The final programmed group included two songs from "Porgy and Bess," the familiar "It Ain't Necessarily So" and the less known "Gone, Gone, Gone," a lament - to Brother Bobbins in which soma . eight soloists per- 'ormed. . A third concert came with the encores, for never was a director more generous in the extra num bers than Shaw. The eight en core numbers ran from "Out. of Zion Comes the Lord" through nursery rybmes, folk songs and a song evidently narked "Dames, in which all the men of the chor us became soloists. Even more than the program med numbers did the encores prove the versatility of the young conductor Robert Shaw. Though suited to reverend beauty of the Mass, his singers could swing to Oklahoma! lisp to the childish "Little Bird Come Through My Window" and the rhythmatic spiritual "Sit Down Sinner." If any weakness was seen in the performance it was In the soloists, for their voices failed to come up to the strength needed for the Mass. Soloists later, how ever, proved more suited to their special parts.
