Children's Voices
Two delightful broadcasts of children’s music were heard lately from 2YA and 4YA when the Primary Schools’ Musical Festivals were heard, curiously enough, on the same evening. The happy atmosphere of hundreds of eager children singing together could be felt even
over the radio, it is very interesting to hear the kind of music the children are asked to singfor the most part the really great tunes of folk songs, strong in their simplicity, These melodies retain their freshness untouched by time, and they are as overwhelming when we hear them sung by
youthful voices now as when we first heard them. The other music, not folk song, Was up to the same high standard. It is good to know that children’s singing, in primary schools at least, is in
good hands,
