We would say that they are pictures which come to life in a dream. They were more convincing than any pro- gram music which we have ever heard. Moussorgsky and Ravel have accomplished the seemingly impos- sible feat of translating from graphic to musical art and actually adding something in the process. There was an active, living quality, which no picture could possess. The sounds, the movements the feeling of the picture were there. It was but a trifle to re- create the sight of it in imagination. In Moussorgsky we find a paradoxical combination of the objectivity, spon- taneity and naivete of Mozart with the fertile, fantastic, grotesque imag- ination of the Russian, of sophistica- tion with earthiness. Such music re- quires a perfection of performance which perhaps only the Boston Or- chestra of those in the world today could give. The response of the audience to this concert would seem to be final proof of the thesis that when the demands of the most idealistic listeners, who may be assumed to be in the minority, are satisfied to the fullest extent, tie majority also are convinced. The growing standards of the Choral Union series through past years are evidence that the officials of the Uni- - versity Musical Society have been conscious of this ideal.
