MUSIC ALBUM BY IRVEN FELL Looked up a back number of the Canadian Review of Music and Art the other day, dated 1945 and found it very interesting again, especially the editorial by Charles Peaker on the subject, "Choral Music In Canada." Before going any further I would like to quote a few words from the pen of William Byrd who lived from 1543 to 1623 and who wrote: "Since singing is so good a thing 1 wish all men would learn to sing." The Peaker editorial goes on to say that all music has taken an upswing in Canada. "Choirs have always interested the public, but they, too, reflect the general ten- dency," he 'says. He mentions leaders of the Mendelssohn Choir, Dr. Vogt, Dr." Fricker (who was the conductor when I was a member) and now Sir Ern- est McMillan, He mention Frederic Lord and Dr. Henrk Jordan, both of Brant- ford choirs and also Dr. Healy Willan, the famous Toronto com- poser-conductor. Of these men, only two are now living, Willan and MeMillan and the time is five years after the article is written. Dr. Willan. and Sir Ernest MacMillan certainly have not stood still. Progressing with the times in both composition and conducting, the impact of these two eminent. Canadian musicians on the musical world is tremen. dous. Dr. Jordan conducted the Schubert Choir of Brantford and Frederic Lord conducted the Canadian choir, also of Brantford On one occasion I remember, Frederic Lord brought the choir to Odkville under the auspices of! St. John's United. Church choir. interesting to note that when these two personalities died, their choirs practically died with them. I am told that both the Schubert Choir and the Can- adian Choir ceased to exist and T do not know of any other choir in Brantford which took their place. There is a ladies' choir in Brantford which is of high repu- tation but I do not know what name it goes under. The choir went to a competition in Chicago last year and won first honors by' a wide margin against some very fine American choirs. Then of course we have the famous -Bell Singers which have become internationally famous. The point I am trying to make is that as choirs die out others take their places even though they are different, it is: choral work. However, I am of the opinion that really true choralism, cap- able of interpreting the grand choral works of the ages, Is ex- emplified by mixed voice choirs. During the past few years we have seen name choirs come to the fore, By that I mean ckoirs which bear the mame of their conductors, I can, think of three or four. This Is not criticism, for the work is excellent and very entertaining. Many of the fine old choral works are sung by these various choirs, not as the composers write them, but as in- terpreted by the so and so sing- ers from the arrangement of their conductor. 1 think radio is res- ponsible for this probably and again there Is some individual glory for the man. | The King's Colour, June 5 by His shown here, SUDSY TRUISM The whole structure of our so- clal life depends upon the real- ization that we are neighbors, and that we must be interested in the welfare of others.

Here I would like to pay tribute to a lot of non-pro music- fans who are doing more than some of the pro musicians care to admit. I am thinking chiefly of school teachers, who in many cases take the biggest part of their lunch hours to instruct their choirs. If they were paid for their overtime which4they put in after school hours, they could afford an extra holiday.
