Dr. Erik Chisholm is one of Scotland's younger composers. Some of his works were broadcast in the ' Contemporary Music ' series from London, and his Orchestral Suite was performed at the Amsterdam Festival of Contemporary Music in 1932. Under his baton the Glasgow Grand Opera Society first produced in this country Les Troyens, by Berlioz, Mozart's Idomeneo, and part of the original Boris Godunov. Dr. Chisholm was born in 1904. He showed early promise and had composed several songs and pianoforte pieces at an age when most children are learning to read. In 1928 he decided that the ambition of a Scots-man should be to write national music, and he studied ancient bag-pipe music, destroying all his previous work.
