Unaccompanied Singing
MR. OWEN JENSEN has a journal- * "istic flair which makes for easy listening. His Music Magazine, heard over the YC stations, is usually packed with interest and variety, not only for the kind of person who can spend an evening with long-playing records, but also for those who stand on the edge of this mystery. Few sessions ot his have been more enjoyable to me than that in which he interviewed Warwick Braithwaite and introduced us to néw recordings of the Gregorian chant. The latter I found particularly. interesting in view of the magnificent descriptions of early church music which I had read in Huysman's En Route. The unaccompanied singing did not fail my expectations. One flaw. however, in the editing of this particular session was that the person who spoke about the chants had no sooner finished with the word "God," than we were swamped with the gay, but here irrelevant, signature tune. It would be better to drop the signature tune in a case like this, or have the chants at the beginning of the session and the interview afterwards.
