"QUIRES AND PLACES"
Sir,-This admirable session on Sunday afternoons (2YA) is of intense -interest, and because of absence of any Cathedral establishment in the North Island, is no doubt welcomed by many people in the northern centres.- We have heard on two occasions recently Stanford’s magnificent setting of the Te Deum-his composition "in C." The "Stanford in A," evening canticles, embracing a particularly effective double chorus for the Gloria, were also listened to with pleasure. His Te Deum in C, however, might now give place to some of his other work, as it has been broadcast fairly frequently since V-J Day. In the Cathedral libraries of Christchurch and Dunedin may be found other compositions by this versatile composer, the "B flat" setting of the canticles, also one in the key of G. Professor Galway, of Dunedin, has enriched our Cathedral music with his melodious compositions, notably a setting of the Te Deum in "G." Is it possible to arrange recordings of some of these? Other suitable music in this category,
sung in the South Island, concerns such writers as Bairstow, Harwood, Lloyd, Parry, Tertius Noble and Walmsley. Broadcasting the mid-Victorian luscious melodies of Barnby, Gadsby, Garrett, Goss, Martin, Stainer and Steggall, would possibly evoke controversy; and, at the other end of the pole, Mr. Lilburn’s "Dorian" conception as applied to the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, would, at any rate, be interesting.
