MUSIC ALBUM BY IRVEN FELL SIR ERNEST MacMILLAN The thing which always stands out in my memory after seeing this great musician is the marvel lous memory he must have. Im- agine conducting whole oratorio, symphonies and other long num- bers without a score. A wonderful gift for a man in his position. Of course he is a marvellous musician, not only in musical knowledge, but in his interpret- ive ability and artistry at the in- struments he plays, chiefly piano and orgah. We write and talk so much about dead musicians and com- posers that we forget we have great men in our midst. If you want to see Sir Ernest it seems that all you have to do is go to the Toronto Conservatory and you will be bound to see him, at least that is my experience. If that is not successful, of course you can hear the Toronto Symphony or Mendelssohn Choir and he will be conducting. He was born in Mimico in 1893, the son of the Rev. Alexan- der MacMillan and Mrs. MacMil- Jan. Very early in life he showed considerable ability in music. At the age of 10 he played in Mas- sey. Hall as concert organist. At 13 he was an Associate of the Royal College of Organists and at 17 years of age he received his Bachelor of Music from Ox- ford He was studying in Germany at the time of the first World War and was promptly interned at Ruhleben Camp in Germany. Jt. was not time wasted for he composed the music for Swin- burne's ode "England." For this work he was awarded his Mus. Doc. degree from Oxford. In 1926 he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Music of Tor onto University and was honored in/ 1931 when he was elected to a Fellowship in the Royal College of Music, London, England. It was also in 1931 that he was appointed leader of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. This was an eventful year for Sir Brnest, for it was also in 1931 that he was knighted for his ser- vices to music in Canada, "by His Majesty King George V.
