"Love Song" (Margarita Merri-man) employed semi-blasphemous children's rhymes and "Jesus Loves Me" and plainly hankered to exist happily somewhere as an encore piece.

A dramatic scena, "Magnolia" (Marjorie Jeffries), nicely suited the broad, forward aspects of Judith Kellock's vocal projection. A Denise Levertov setting, "Snail." (Carolyn Bruse) was disjunct and tonal-center-avoiding, and ended feyly. "Some- (Eugenia Frothingham) sported art old-fashioned kind of melodic distinction, "Andromeda Rag" (Elizabeth Vercoe) an old-fashioned kind of rhythmic gumption and a piano part that was thick as brown paste. In Minuetta Kessler's violin-piano "Sonata Concertante" (1974) a masterly technique, buttressed an esthetic of appalling naivete: One imagined a sort of dance around the teepee for the, little ones superimposed on the Rach- maninov Third Piano Concerto. Muscular performances here by Sharan Leventhal and the composer.
