Glee Club in 1942 Corks and Curls
The 1941-1942 season of the Virginia Glee Club was directed by Harry Rogers Pratt, with assistance from Randall Thompson and associate director James S. Constantine. Officers included Joe Tucker, president; Ed Berry, manager; and Phillip Marvin, librarian. Repertoire for the year included Randall Thompson's Tarantella and several Finnish folksongs.[1]
The Club's season was affected by the outbreak of World War II. Though the Club continued activities on Grounds, they cancelled out of town singing engagements owing to the shortage of tires.[2]
Performances included the premiere of Tarantella in April 1942 in Old Cabell Hall, under Thompson's direction.[3]
