THE service in St. John’s Anglican Church will be broadcast on Sunday evening. Archdeacon Fitchett will be the preacher. A concert will follow. to be given in the studio by the Kaikorai Band and assisting vocal artists -Miss Dorothy Skinner (contralto) and Mr. George Crawford (tenor). The band is to render in addition to other numbers, "Gloria," from Mozart’s Twelfth Mass, and a Fugue by Renick. The "Gloria" is too well known to require any further detail, but the Fugue, which is quite a recent publication, is an excellent band item. Pre ceding the Fugue is a very fine introduction of heavy chords played by the full band. The subject is introduced by the basses and euphoniums, the answer being presented by the baritones, trombones, and tenor horns. By inversion, the counter subject is played by the other instruments of the band, the whole effect being a brilliant and Bach-like Fugue.
