“C. M. A. rehearsal this evening—extra. About sixty worked hard at the delicious choruses of Spring. How true, honest & healthy they are. I observed that the chorus could not help humming the solo passages scattered through their work, (especially that lovely bit of melody in the finale, 'From whose abundant stores the earth with joy o’erflows')—so attractive & sing-able are these phrases.”
