TRINITY COLLEGE (Auckland).
Sir,-The criticism of Mendelssohn’s "St. Paul" which appeared in your issue of May 15 is a showup of your musical critic. He says that the chorales were just too "Moody and Sankey for words." All I can say is this: either your critic has never heard Moody or Sankey, or else he doesn’t know what a chorale is. His remark that "it was a pleasure to hear the orchestra alone at odd moments" jars on my mind, as all I recollect of that bevy of artists is a jungle of hopeless discords. The strings dragged
horribly.
