NEW ZEALANDERS’ SUCCESS AT HOME
A song written by Marieda Batten and composed by Mary Brett (Mrs. Osborne, of Auckland), has just been accepted for publication by Messrs. Augener and Co., Ltd., London. This is the first composition of Mary Brett's to be published. The title of the song is “The Horses of the Dawn,” and already a great future is predicted for it. At the London Lyceum Club, of which Marieda Batten (Mrs. Laird Cooke, recently of Auckland) is a member, a concert was recently held by the Music Board, at which three Maori love songs, lyrics by Marieda Batten, were sung by Miss Netta Lynde, and Mr. Gordon Cleather. "The Horses of the Dawn” was also sung by Mr. Gordon Cleather from the manuscript. It was accorded a vociferous encore, and Marieda Batten, who was present, was warmly congratulated by members of the audience. Messrs. Augener and Co., Ltd., announce that “The Horses of the Dawn” will be published in January, 1928, and copies are expected to reach New Zealand early in March.
