ELIZABETHAN MUSIC
Sir,-I should like to add my request to that of "Philomathes" for more composers of the Elizabethan period. In the "Golden Age" of English music, England was in the forefront of the world both in composition and performance. It was considered an essential part of a person’s education to be able to sing music at sight and take a part in singing whenever requested. It is appalling to think of the large number of educated people of to-day-even among those who are more or less highly educated -who would be unable to do this. But here I must mention the good work that is being done during the music sessions for schools both in music reading and appreciation. Unfortunately music is not considered an important enough subject for school ex-
amunations.
