A SMALL ORCHESTRA and FEMALE CHORUS
Conducted by STANFORD ROBINSON
THE Composer at the Piano
MR. ROWLEY is a London organist and teacher who was born at Shepherd's Bush some thirty-six years ago. As a composer, younger listeners probably know more about him than most of the older ones, for, in his compositions, he has until' lately given more attention to children than to grown-ups. His music is sung and played in many schools.
He has, however, written much music of more general aim. One of his works, a fanciful Opera, The Princess who Lost a Tune, has received an Award from the Carnegie Music Trust.
