ORGAN MUSIC
Sir,-I write to ask whether we could not have something more informing in place of the bare title, "Organ Music" for our Sunday afternoon programmes, — Can we not have the names and compesers given of the pieces to be played? Especially necessary is this when, as has often lately been happening, "organ music" has been on the air simultaneously from 1YA and 3YA. I try one programme and find it over-familiar; I try the other station, find some unfam‘iliar item in progress, whose title I have missed through late switching, for the announcers seldom give us this ine formation at the end. Why don’t. they? This prompts me to ask whether there is not a wealth of seldom or neverplayed recordings of organ music on the shelves. We hear the same few warhorses again and again. On a_ recent Sunday, Cesar Franck’s A Minor Chorale was played three times, once in each of the three organ programmes. A published programme and some research would put all to nichts.
