0. Douglas-whose real name is
Anna Buchan-i . the sister of the late John Buchan the novelist, who, as Lord Tweedsmuir, became Governor-General of Canada.

Schubert's Symphony No. 9 in C has long been acknowledged the world over as one of the supreme masterpieces of sym
Phonic music It owes something to
Beethoven, vet differs fundamentally from his conception of the symphony. Beethoven's symphonies are essentially logical, tightly knit, epic; Schubert .are way ward, loose, and essentially lyrical.
The C major is, in many ways, the direct ancestor of the vast canvases of Bruckner and Mahler. It was certainly thi, symphony, a huge classical mould, filled with a wealth of romantic improvisation, that served Bruckner as a model for what Brahms so unkindly described as his ' symphonic boa-constnctors .

Readings by Professor Thomas Bodkin, of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham Irishmen, when they write poetry in English, naturally colour it with the intonation and the phraseology of their own speech.
