FOR twenty-two years, till his death in 1918. Sir Hubert Parry held the post of Director of the Royal College of Music. For most of the time Sir Charles Stanford was there with him, and these two exercised such a profound influence on the generation of students who came in contact with them, that they may be said to have set the standards for, and coloured the minds of, almost all English musicians of this century.
Parry, as a composer, was prolific, and untiring.
His literary work, mostly on musical subjects, is solid, scholarly, and valuable. How he found time to do either, if not before breakfast, as has been supposed, it is difficult to imagine. Perhaps it may have had something to do with the fact that he was sometimes called the English Bach.

THIS aria occurs in the opera Alkestis. Admetus is to die, but Alkestis invokes the powers of death to take her life in order that her husband may live. In this noble song she declares her high resolve.
THE career of Jean Louis Nicodé was passed for the most part in Dresden, where he was director of the Philharmonic Concerts and Professor of the Conservatorium. His compositions are those of an ordinary symphonic writer until in about his fiftieth year he suddenly decided to write a huge concert work of operatic dimensions which would employ every orchestral instrument for which a plaver could be found. This work, entitled Gloria, is a kind of symphonic opera ; it is in six long movements, introduces chorus and leit motifs and leaves no room in the programme for anything else that evening.
