The concert served to introduce some new choral songs by Gordon Getty, who at his best stands honorably in the line of Frederick the Great, Prince Poniatowski and the other wealthy or titled amateurs who have turned their leisure to pleasant musical purpose. A predilection for monotonous rhythm (equal notes punctuated by holds on a single note) and for unison writing lends the choruses a chant-like quality at times, but elsewhere, Mr. Getty showed a sure feel for the shape of an effective vocal line.
