Local Talent
WROTE some time back of the recorded series‘ "Men and Music," which dramatised the composition of various famous songs and so forth. Local talent (that usually funereal phrase) at Christchurch recently tried its hand at a feature of this sort, with triumphant success, The broadcast was a 3ZB one on Christmas Eve, and the subject was "Silent Night." The Repertory Society and Cathedral Choir collaborated to make an unusual success of a task full of temptations to the lush and oversoulful, through which it passed almost untouched. The music was allowed to carry most of the weight, and it is striking, but true, that one can hear the carol sung four or five’ times in 20 minutes without objecting.
