Mr. Bernard Page, j gave his weekly organ i coital in the Town : Hall last night. His opening number was i tiie Concerto in D Minor (Handel), written : originally for organ and orchestra, and | arranged for the organ alone by the late : M. A. Guilmant. This js an impressive I and harmonious composition, with many characteristic passages. " Modern French i music was represented by two bracketed : numbers, the prelude from "La Damoiselle I Elue" and the prelude from "L'Enfant Frodigue" (Dibussy). Thcsp interesting works, .animated' by a deep sense of beauty, are worthy of study, and they were treated by Mr. Page with great sympathy. A Melodic by Hachmaniuod was one of the Russian composer's "Morceaux de Pantasie," written originally for the piano. Tho concluding number in the first part of the programme was the "f/Cgend" Op. 16 (Harvey Grace). The second part consisted of the Russian composer 'Moussorgsky's "A Tear" and "Meditation," two studies for the piano, and the "Suite Ancicnne" (nollowny), vhich is always interesting as typical of the earlier style of organ mnsie. Tho next concert will be given on Tuesday, March 19.
