1The new vocal music offers an interesting variation from love, sentimental and religious songs. Some of the compositions are—
3The City—Choral Suite of Five Poems set to music for a six part chorus of mixed voices.
4A cappella—Opus 14 of H. Leroy Baumgartner.
5Four Odes of Horace for mixed voices with pianoforte, set to music by Randall Thompson. An inquiry from Switzerland received recently by E. C. Schirmer Music Co. seemed to indicate that there are no foreign settings of Odes of Horace.
6O Night by Robert Delaney for mixed voices with pianoforte or pianoforte and string quartet.
7Americana—A Sequence of Five Transcripts for Mixed Voices by Randall Thompson. The words are bits taken from The American Mercury and include such piquant sounding titles as The Staff Necromancer, God's Bottles and Sublime Process of Law Enforcement.
