ORGAN RECITAL
Last night it hailed, but some few people braved the weather, to hear Mr. Bernard P. Page play on the Town Hall organ. They were a very chilled audience, but they made quite generous i signs of approval of the good music. I The programme opened with Faulke's Sonata in D Minor, n graceful number with an imposing finale, characteristic of the writings of the distinguished organist, erstwhile of St. Margaret's, Liverpool. Then followed three Norwegian melodies from tho album of Grieg, and I the celebrated wood scene from the second act of Wagner's opera "Siegfried." I The haunting beauty of the wood music i in this delicate scena wa? admirably interpreted by Mr. Page, 'whose forte in i Wagnerian music is well known. Tho j second part of tho programme was introduced by the from Sibelius's ; tragedy "King Christian the Second." This number presented the composer of ; the beautiful tone poem "Finlandia" and the sombre "Valse Triste" in a variant • of'his emotional compositions. The proj gramme concluded with a "Berceuse" !■ from Eebikoff and Sandiford Turner's, "Scherzo in P Minor."
