Music from the South
{ USIC in ‘Invercargill, judging by reports, is in a flourishing condition. (I mean amateur music, which is really the criterion of a country’s musical status, for without intelligent amateur audiences no professional musician can hope to flourish.) Shortly after I had complained of *the decline of concerted music in the far south, I read that the choral society down there has now the help of an excellent local orchestra; this enthusiastic outcome of hard-working effort on the part of both amateur and_ professional musicians is a piece of heartening news. Station 4YZ is one station whose programmes I don’t receive very well, but its printed programmes are consistently interesting (I noticed Britten’s lovely "Ceremony of Carols" in a recent Sunday programme, but was unable to hear it owing to a temporary aberration of my set). It is to be hoped that arrangements have been made to broadcast the united efforts of choral and orchestral groups; listeners whose reception of 4YZ is adequate will be well advised to look for such broadcasts in their programmes.
