Although there is enough extant of Morley's music to make it clear that he was among the greatest of the Tudor composers of madrigals, canzonets, ayres, and motets, we know but little about his career. Of his studies with William Byrd , it is recorded, however, that ' the said Morley became not only excellent in musick, as well in the theoretical as practical part, but also well seen in the Mathematicks, in which Byrde was excellent
He graduated as Bachelor of Music of Oxford in 1588, and was probably organist of St. Paul's Cathedral soon afterwards. In 1592 he became a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, and in Rolls of Assessments of the last six years of the sixteenth century his name appears on one occasion side by side with William Shakespeare 's, both citizens having their goods valued at the same modest amount. His contemporaries must have held him in affection as well as esteem, and his good friend Weelkes composed a song in remembrance of him which begins, ' Death hath deprived me of my dearest friend '. Another tribute of the time refers to him as ' He who did shine as the Sun'.
Today Tom Harrisson is to give the last of his three talks on birds. Some of those who listened to his plea for the Little Owl last week may like to collect evidence of the feeding habits of this bird in the hope that they may find it innocent of the charges brought against it. Cast-up pellets, to be found about the roosting and nesting holes, may be sent as evidence to Miss Alice
: Hibbert-Ware, Hilary, Girton, Cambridge, who will be pleased to send a form giving particulars of the general habits of this bird to those who would like to have it. Full names and addresses should be given with any pellets sent to her, and details of the place and date where they were found, together with any special remarks and observations. All correspondence on this subject should be addressed to Miss Hibbert-Ware.

The opening night of the International Season of Opera at Covent Garden is one of the most important social and artistic events of the season. No opera could be more suitable to open with than Wagner's brilliant and 'ever popular comedy music drama The Mastersingers. It is also a notable occasion from a broadcasting point of view, for The Mastersingers is to be heard in its entirety over the microphone : Acts I and III on Regional at 6.35 and 9.45 respectively, and Act II as timed above. The story of The Mastersingers is given on page 11 in a special article by Ernest Newman.
