QUIRES AND PLACES.
Sir-Two years ago, I wrote to The Listener with a grievance about "In Quires;and Places Where They Sing". Whether propter hoc or only post hoc I do not know, but the grounds for my gtievance promptly disappeared. Lately on many Sundays grounds for the same grievance have appeared again. So please let me air it. The phrase "In Quires" etc. comes from the Book of Common Prayer. The title therefore suggests English church music by choirs of men and boys. Much of the music broadcast in the session not only justifies the use of the title but is exquisite. But bad lapses often occur. For instarice last Sunday the session began with a pretty waltz-like tune sung by mixed voices, accompanied by an orchestra. This curious example of church music was called "Unrequited Love". ry
