G. Thalben-Balland Temple choirboys
This is one of two talks to be given every week during the holidays, talks that will be suitable for children as well as for adults. This afternoon that distinguished church organist and teacher of the church organ, Dr. Thalben-Ball, who succeeded Sir Walford Davies as organist at the Temple Church in 1923 and is official organist of the Royal Albert Hall, is to talk about carols. Among other things he will explain the difference between old-time carols and hymns that are nowadays sung as carols.

He was born in 1893 in Moravia. As a boy he was a member of a village band which devoted itself entirely to playing Moravian folk songs. He later studied at the Prague Conservatoire, then at the Academy in Vienna, and finally at the Berlin Hochschule. His experiments in quarter-tones have brought him considerable fame.
