DUNHILL. a distinguished former pupil of the Royal College of Music in London, where he held a Composition Scholarship, earned the gratitude of many of his fellowcountrymen by a series of chamber music concerts which he ran for several years. Their special object was to bring forward music of young nntive composers which, although already performed, was in danger of being forgotten. His own most important works, apart from some distinguished chamber music and many beautiful songs, are a set of variations on an original theme, dedicated to the memory of Sir Hubert Parry , and a Symphony. The former was played in 1922 at the Gloucester Festival nnd the latter a year later at Bournemouth. It has also been heard abroad. Dunlrill gained a Carnegie Award in 1925 for his one-act Opera, The Enchanted Garden, although the opera has not so far been adequately presented.
