This image shows a page from a newspaper clipping, meticulously preserved on an aged, beige manila folder. The clipping is from The Boston Globe, dated October 14, 1973 (10/14/73), and is marked as page 27.
The article, titled “Musica Viva opens season with ‘Ancient Voices’”, is a review of a concert given by the Boston Musica Viva ensemble, a group known for performing contemporary classical music. The review is authored by Michael Steinberg, a prominent music critic.
The article discusses the premiere of George Crumb’s “Ancient Voices of Children” — a work that had previously received a standing ovation — and evaluates the ensemble’s performance, praising the dramatic and vocal techniques employed, particularly by soprano Jan De Gaetani and tenor Jan Curtis. Steinberg also reviews other works on the program, such as T. J. Anderson’s “Beyond Silence” and Donald Martino’s “Notturno”, noting the musicians’ skill and the thoughtful programming.
The clipping is affixed to the manila folder with tape along its top edge. The folder itself has two visible punched holes on the left margin, indicating it was likely stored in a binder. There are minor signs of wear — a small crease at the bottom left corner of the folder, and some fading of the newspaper due to age.
