CHRISTMAS CAROLS
Sir,-Having heard quite a lot of Christmas carols on Christmas Day sung in a lusty and hearty style by the BBC Choir, I was disappointed at the Christchurch effort at 11.0 a.m. from 3YA. I thought it affected and elocutional to avert the natural flow of sound at commas, etc, and out of keeping in such music. I have always thought that good singing should be like good speaking. If this method of diction is the correct technique, then it may be tolerated perhaps in certain music but not in good old hearty earols.
