"MADRID" HYMN TUNE
Sir,-I have been keenly interested in two letters published in your issue, The first one, signed "B Natural," praised the hymn known as "Madrid," and mentioned that it was to be found in the Methodist Hymn Book. In your issue of February 7 another letter appeared signed "L. D. Austin," in which the beautiful tune of "Madrid" was utterly condemned. May I state that this writer is under the wrong impression, and is crticising the "Madrid" tune in the Presbyterian book, this tune being quite ordinary and the least interesting. I would like L, D,
Austin to try over the "Madrid" tune in the Methodist Hymn Book, and he will surely feel like apologising to "B Natural," because this particular hymn tune is certainly a beautiful setting, and if it were well played by any of our leading bands. it would,
I am sure, be truly thrilling.-
