“C. M. A. [rehearsal] Thursday night. Kyrie, Benedictus, Agnus, & Dona of the Mass. Gleams of light began to break through their storm clouds & thick darkness. Also part of Mendelssohn’s 'Lorelei,' which opens very nicely. I predict that if we carry the Mass through its rehearsals we shall recognize it as a work of great power & beauty.”
