THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Sir-In England the National Ansthem is played with a slight slowing down in tempo on the last two notes.’ This was well illustrated by the bands and pipes at the King’s funeral procession, It adds dignity to the finish and compares favourably with the hat-grabbing scurry, of the ending as played here, Unfortunately in words and music it is at best rather banal, but we make it still more so with the undignified scurry of our particular rendering. ?
