Choirs sang its second annual service in Christ Church Episcopal last night in a magnificently thrilling manner under the artistic and spirited direction of Dr Leo Sowerby director of the College of Church Music Washington (D C) Cathedral The choirs participating were the boys and men of Christ Church Lexington the boys and men of Christ Church Cathedral Louisville and the choir of Sayre School The first and last of these three groups are directed by Robert Quade organist-choir master of Christ Church Gilbert Macfarlane functions in that capacity at the Louisville Cathedral A majestic processional opened the service using Flor rousing for choir organ trumpets and tympani Dr Sowerby kept the multiple choir going solidly through an imposing group of movements from the communion service and great anthems A and a by Sumsion both composed in 1959 came first These were followed by three of the more familiar master works of early English composers Gibbons Byrd and Weelkes The from Third Mass was equally moving and served as an interesting contrast in style A quartet of soloists added to the charm of this work These were Doug Geddes and Robby Stickle trebles Michael Sells tenor and Norris Wake bass It was a great delight to hear thereafter three great and varied works by Dr Sowerby: Ye Followers of Us Now Praise Famous and Heart Is Fixed God" The style never obscures tonality though he uses expressive dissonance at times principally in the organ score His choral works are an unusually happy union of words and music Robert Quade presided at the organ throughout the service the guest conductor leading the choir The collaboration of the master conductor and the brilliant and talented organist was an event to remember with great pleasure Junta Rebel Units Battle On

exchange of fire between rebels and US paratroopers One paratrooper was wounded during the fighting Saturday night heavy fighting was reported in the western part of the city around the government transportation center about one mile from the held safety corridor The rebel spokesman said US helicopters flying out of the San Isidro Air Base were bringing reinforcements and food to about 250 junta soldiers surrounded by rebels During the exchange of fire in the downtown section members of the United Nations peace team arrived in the city and were driven through a rebel-held sector They heard scattered sniper fire The battle was started by troops loyal to the junta of Gen Antonio Imbert Barrera At a point three blocks north of the US Embassy they fired into a rebel-held district just across from the safety corridor guarded by US Marines The rebels returned the fire and when they did they were shooting into Marine positions The Marines in turn fired back The Marines were well
