glee| Part song, usually for male voices, in not less than three parts, much cultivated by English composers in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon gliw (‘entertainment’), particularly musical entertainment. Samuel Webbe, Richard Stevens, John Callcott, William Horsley, Thomas Attwood, Jonathan Battishill, Benjamin Cooke, and others cultivated the glee. |

| Tracy Vogt, as the Bride, embodied the gleefulness and optimism of young love, and Elizabeth Flynn tempered her portrayal of the sturdy Pioneering Woman with a sense of vulnerability and lament. What you don't have working for ``Impostor,'' however, is the visual elegance of a director like Ridley Scott or the twisted gleefulness of a Paul Verhoeven. Attentive to the resonances of his found elements, he combines them with an esthetic fairness that barely suppresses their gleefulness. |
