Although Orlando di Lasso, contemporary of Palestrina, was one of the greatest and most prolific composers of his day, his early life is somewhat obscure. He was born at Mons in 1530 or 1532, and died at Munich in 1594. At the age of eight di Lasso had already attracted attention by his musical gifts, which eventually obtained him a place in the service of the Viceroy of Sicily. A year or so after his voice broke he is supposed to have visited Rome as the guest of the Archbishop of Florence, and after six months was appointed choirmaster of the Church of St. John Lateran.
Di Lasso appears to have enjoyed the patronage of several cultured and distinguished noblemen. In 1555 his first two publications appeared-a book of Italian Madrigals and a collection of madrigals, chansons, motets in four parts. This was the beginning of an immense stream of sacred and secular music that issued from his pen. But from 1563 most of his compositions were sacred in character, as he held the important post of choirmaster to Duke Albert of Bavaria, for whose choir he wrote most of his music.
Eda Kersey is practically a self-taught violinist. After a few years of guidance in the difficult early stages of violin technique, she then carried on entirely by herself, supplementing her studios with constant attendances at chamber and orchestral concerts in order to absorb the methods and styles of all the great violinists from Kreisler downwards. Talking of her career, Miss Kersey says : ' At the age of ten, when we moved from Goodmayes, Essex, to Southsea, I suddenly realised that the violin was my vocation. I studied under one or two local teachers, then at the age of fourteen I heard Kreisler and from that moment set my heart on becoming a concert soloist. I gave my first concert at sixteen, which was a success in a small way. Since that time I have learned much from hearing great violinists, and the rest has been done by hard work. I practise for about seven hours a day.'
Ernest John Moeran began to compose already during his schooldays at Uppingham, where music has always been enthusiastically cultivated. As with many others of the younger generation of English composers, his original work goes hand-in-hand with an enthusiasm for native folk music; that of Norfolk, where a good part of his life has been spent, has always attracted him specially, as listeners have already had opportunities of hearing for themselves in his ' Norfolk Rhapsodies ' and other works.
' Songs of Springtime ' consists of settings of seven Elizabethan poems by Shakespeare, Fletcher, Thomas Nashe , Samuel Daniel , William, Browne, and Herrick. These songs all show careful workmanship, delicate poetic feeling, and freshness of melodic invention.

Ernst von Dohnanyi , the Hungarian composer, pianist, and conductor, has been well known in England since 1898. He used to appear regularly as soloist in Sir Henry Wood 's Saturday Afternoon Symphony Concerts, and his Variations on a Nursery Theme for piano and orchestra and his chamber music hold an esteemed place in the repertoire.
The Suite, ' The Veil of Pierrette', consists of some of the numbers of a ballet that was first produced in Dresden a quarter of a century ago.
