(From Birmingham)
THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM POLICE BAND
Conducted by RICHARD WASSELL
This is the beautiful air for alto voice which is known the wide world over as ' Handel's Largo.' In this country, where we like to draw a hard and fast distinction between Sunday and weekday music, it has always been regarded as suitable for playing or singing on the most solemn occasions, although it comes from a secular work and the words have nothing to do with any religious subject. It is a stout witness on behalf of the plea that any good music which is not frivolous in its intention, is also sacred music.
