Take It Back
ECENTLY I wrote a paragraph lamenting the apparent disbanding of the 4YA Orchestra, due to the fact that many of its members had been selected for the National Symphony Orchestra. This was premature, and I should have realised that the authorities would anticipate and rectify such a denudation of local instrumentalists. The solution arrived at seems‘ to be the only possible one, for a country like New Zealand, sparsely populated and with a day’s journey, at least, between any ‘two of the main cities. A complete reshuffling of all our players has resulted ‘in the formation of the main orchestra in Wellington, together with one light orchestra. and two strong groups of strings, one of which will be stationed here in Dunedin. If this results in 4YA reliriquishing the type of orchestral fare known as "light" or "salon" in favour of the compact string orchestra and the formation of trios, quartets, and quintets, then the musical life of Dunedin will be enriched rather than robbed by the change in personnel. The newcomers to the Dunedin ranks, Ormi Reid, Harold Taylor, Alex Munro, D, Sutherland, and Reginald Svttonn, will be an asset to the city’s music and we look forward to hearing the newly-arranged 4YA String Orchestra.
