An account by Jane Drew , F.R.I.B.A., of the Seventh Annual Congress of the C.I.A.M. at Bergamo, Italy
The organisation Congres Intemationaux d' Architecture Modeme is a ' working
' party ' of architects from Europe (East and West) and America who have devoted themselves to the study of housing and city planning. After the Fourth Annual Congress, held in Athens in 1933, C.I.A.M. drew up the Chart of Athens which formulated its views on city planning. Since then there has been unprecedented opportunity for architects to put their theories into practice, and at this year's meeting at Bergamo, which ended on July 30, delegates reported on the work achieved in their own countries.

Although Mahler described ' The Song oi the Earth' as ' symphony for tenor, contralto, and orchestra,' and he wrote it in 1908, shortly after his colossal Eighth Symphony (for voices and orchestra), he refrained from calling it No. 9-a a title he reserved for the purely instrumental work dating from the following year. The design of ' The Song of the Earth ' resembles a symphony to some extent, and the orchestra plays an exceedingly prominent part, yet the work is more like a gigantic song-cycle. It consists of settings of six Chinese poems expressing, with a heart-searching beauty, delight in earth's loveliness combined with feelings of deep pessimism.
