A Recital by Gladys Ripley (contralto)
The Heart's Echo

The lark now leaves his wat'ry nest The Enchantress
To Anthea, who may command him everything
Memory The Hag
To Musique, to becalm his fever Excelsior
John Liptrott Hatton , was born at Liverpool in 1809 and died in Margate in 1886. As well as writing sacred music, operas, and incidental music for the theatre, he was a prolific composer of songs, and the half-hour devoted to them this evening will give listeners an idea of his worth. His most famous song, ' To Anthea', a setting of Herrick, is included in the programme.
