MUSIC FOR ROYAL ODE
Sir-I have made an entry in the Royal Qde, musical setting competition. The date of closing was advertised as December 6. I worked early and lateburning the candle at both ends-and finished the ode by this date. On December 7, I read in The Listener that the date of closing had been extended to January 6. Had this. change of date been announced a month ago, \it would have been a help to me. As it is, competitors who did not regard the closing date, December 6, sufficiently seriously to’ finish by that date are going to have a month longer than those who did. This does not seem fair to those who made the effort to finish by December 6. I hold a responsible position, and.am as busy as any student sitting music examinations, which is the reason you have advanced for postponing the date of entries. The original closing date was August 6. This was soon altered to. December 6, allowing intending competitors an extra four clear months to complete the ode in. This should. have sufficed.
