Easter Music
REMEMBER saying, in these columns last year, that the opportunity of presenting suitable music during Easter had been mainly neglected by Dunedin stations. This year, not even the most ardently enthusiastic musician: could cavil at the nature and variety of Easter music heard from 4YA and 4YO. On two successive Mondays, Dr. V. E. Galway presented the highlight of the week, the great and glorious Mass in B Minor of Bach, a work which listeners have been requesting in its entirety fcr a long time past. As if this were not enough, 4YO arranged to re-broadcast, from 7.30 till 9.0 p.m., the presentation of the St. Matthew Passion by the Choir, of St. Paul’s Cathedral; several solos and chorales, also by Bach, were listed for Easter week. Minor additions were a group of Easter carols, various songs, instrumental solos, and orchestral works suitable to the season, by Handel and Mozart; and Stainer’s hardy annual, "The Crucifixion," to be heard twice on Good Friday, from 4YA by the BBC Choir, and for those whose sets allow of good reception from 4YZ, by the combined Invercargill Choirs.
