“Extra C. M. A. rehearsal tonight (Schoolhouse of Trinity Chapel). This Niedermeyer Mass is peculiar. Certain portions of it, as e. g. the Gratias agimus & so on down to the Quoniam, seem intensely ecclesiastical & at the same time sensuous & passionate. They suggest the opera house & the monastery chapel—both together.”
