Part Songs: ALTHOUGH choral singing is widely cultivated throughout Scotland, and most towns boast their own choirs, it has always been to Glasgow rather than to the capital that the rest of the world has looked for Scottish choral singing. For many years the Glasgow Select Choir, of twenty-four voices, conducted by the late
John Millar Craig, held a foremost position in its own class. For a whole generation it furnished the annual St. Andrew's Day concerts in London and the other big English towns, to the enthusiastic delight of the exiled Scots there. The Glasgow Orpheus Choir has spread the fame of Scottish choral singing much further afield, on the other side of the Atlantic as well as here. It reaches a very high standard of choral singing, and its conductor, Mr. Hugh S. Roberton, has earned the gratitude of audiences in many parts of the world, for the way in which his choir presents not only Scottish song and sentiment but vocal music of many orders.
