DOUGLAS LILBURN'S "AOTEAROA"
Sir,-You state in a "Things to Come" paragraph that the overture "Aotearoa" was written for the N.Z. Centennial Matinee held in London in May, 1940. I do not dispute this, but as Z was at the matinee, and thoroughly enjoyed it, I have good cause to remember the date. It was held at His Majesty’s Theatre, Haymarket, on April 15, 1940. While I have pen to paper I take this opportunity of asking why items by the NBS String Orchestra are announced as played "by the strings of the NBS Orchestra’? I understand this is a string orchestra, so why not say so. Agreed that the strings make the music, but not by their own action! Or have the NBS an orchestra of animated instruments that vroduce
music at will?
