Sinfonia New Zealand
OUGLAS LILBURN’S "Sinfonia for Strings" broadcast from 1YA_ recently, is a moving work. It is not cheerful music. In parts almost stern, always contemplative, it has about it a calm confidence. Its vitality has its roots in New Zealand, and, for that reason if for no other, it finds an immediate response
in the heart of the unprejudiced listener. Indeed, the Sinfonia has a beauty all its own. New Zealand’s music will gain vigour as more composers here forsake mere imitation of other worlds and other things to find an idiom indigenous to their environment. The 1YA Strings, conducted by the composer, gave a convincing performance.
