Scottish Singer Entertained

Reception for Mr. W. Heughan SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS The Auckland Society of Musicians held a very enjoyable reception in the Lyceum Club last evening to welcome back Mr. William Heughan, the famous Scottish singer. The guest of honour was accompanied by his wife, who looked very charming in a satin mandarin coat of duchess blue, embroidered in rose, with cuffs and collar of white fox, and Miss Bell. Miss Bell wore a turquoise blue and beige chenille embossed wrap, with softly toning fur collar. Dr. Kenneth S. Phillips, president of the society, extended a cordial welcome to the distinguished visitor, and an enjoyable programme of musical items followed. Miss Maida Hooker played a piano solo; songs were given by Mrs. Corbin and Mr. B. Barnes, accompanied by Mr. Barry Coney; a flute solo was contributed by Mr. McLennan, who was accompanied by Miss T. Cordon; and Mrs. Arthur Griffiths entertained with amusing elocutionary items. Later in the evening Mr. Heughan, in his rich voice, spoke to an interested audience of the history of music in Scotland. He said that people were inclined to overlook the wonderful beauty of Scottish melodies because they were so familiar with them. Mr. Heughan referred to the immeasurable esteem in which the' old masters Beethoven, Schubert, and Wagner, held the melodies of Scotland. Schubert said that he would, give away all his compositions to have written one melody like "Xe Banks and Braes.” Wagner always spoke of Scotland as the country with the beautiful songs and a people neither able to sing nor appreciate them. • In the old days in Scotland music and singing were regarded as belonging to the devil, and • young singers did not meet with much encouragement.

Mr. Heughan disclosed the very interesting fact that the bagpipes were originally brought from Italy by the Romans. The old melodies of Scotland were played on the harp. The speaker, in discussing, music in New Zealand, said that .we should endeavour to have a Conservatorium of Music in the Dominion, so that young artists could be encouraged and given an opportunity. He thought it was a great mistake to send them abroad too soon. , Australia, said the speaker, had the •reputation of being very musical, but it bad been his experience that New Zealand audiences were just as ; appreciative as Australian ones. Miss Alice Law spoke briefly about the recent conference of musicians in Wellington. Among those present were:—Mrs. Wilcox, Miss A. Law, Mrs. Boult, Mrs. Archdal© Taylor, Miss Arfly Hansard, Miss Maida Hooker. Miss Searell, Mr. Barry Coney, M,r. Tait, and Mrs. Eric Waters. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Sellars. Mrs. Chas.
