Byrd's 'Great' Service takes its place among the most splendid achievements of English church music. It is due to Canon Fellowes, who has done more for Tudor music than any other man, that the work is available to us; he it was who discovered the larger part of the text at Durham Cathedral. The alto part for the Evening Canticles was subsequently found at Peterhouse, Cambridge. Canon Fellowes transcribed the work for practical use, reconstructing the missing passages himself; and it was performed in its entirety, for the first time for two and a half centuries, at Newcastle Cathedral in 1924.

The speaker describes the eccentric personality of the writer who has been called ' the first and almost the only Impressionist in English fiction.' Already the man himself has become something of a legend. Since his death in 1926 the appreciation of his novels has steadily grown, and after being out of print for a number of yean five of them are now republished in one volume.

(Continued in next column)
Four years ago, when he was in India conducting orchestral concerts for.E.N.S.A.; he made a close study of Hindustani music, and his Concerto, completed in March of last year, is the outcome of a desire to write a large-scale work employing the normal resources of Western music but founded on Hindu scales and melodies. His use of the piano as the solo instrument was perhaps prompted hy the remarkable compositions of Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji, in nearly all ot which a- florid piano is prominent. Chisholm's Concerto is in three movements, the second one consisting of a theme with variations. Harold Rutland
