GLADYS CORLETT (violoncello) Nearly every symphonic composer who comes to be famous finds that he has in his youth written something that attracts a more lasting popularity than any composition of his later years. Raff's ' Cavatina Rubinstein's Melody in F', Elgar's' 'Salut d'Amour' and this melodious and reverent work by Mackenzie, for instance. ' Benedictus ' is one of six pieces for violin, played for the first time by Lady Halle at a Monday ' Pop ' in 1888. It was in that year that Sir Alexander Mackenzie became principal of the Royal Academy of Music.
