Review: Dorothy Penfold, “Fine singing by choir”, Sun, 3 June 1960, p.11. “In the comradeship of song, Sydney, Queensland and Melbourne university choirs, madrigal and musical societies met at the Wilson Hall last night. Bach’s Jesu Meine Freude, sung in German by a choir of about 60 voices [from SUMS] … set a high standard in their opening number … [It was] sung with the requisite reverence, finely-controlled volume of tone, neat attack and release and conspicuously good intonation. Singing by the other groups was also of a high standard.”
