By 1913-14 Russian music had reached a great height in Europc but the World War and the Re- volution have left Russian musi- clans in a state of bewilderment, and many of them have departed from their native country.

Since then there has een a sur- prising growth, in Sovie Russia, of symphonic orchestras in workers’ clubs, conductoricssv orchestras. choral ensembles, and, since 1928, a great deal of attention paid to native talent,

An attempt is being made to ex- press the Revolution nnd the new life in the rhythm of the new inu- SIC.

Mrs. Nash sang delightfully four Russian songs, two of Tschaikow- sky's “No Word From 'I'hee," and “None But the Lonely Heart," “The Song of the Shepherd Lihl," which is the gem 0i’ the opera. “Snegourotchkafl” by Rimsky-Kor- snkoff, and “In the Silence of the Night," a very beautiful song by Rachmaninoff-

Mrs. Full played “li/belodie" and "Poiichinclle" by Rachmaninoff. The latter number, described by the soloist herself as "a. clownish sort of piece," was played in a masterly manner and appealed

‘greatly to the audience.

Miss Lilian MacKenzieXs paper dealt with French music in which there has been a tremendous re- voiution during the past fifty years.

In the nineteenth century there had been in fiance n. prepond- erance of foreign music and mu- sicians, but after the Franco- Prussian War a great deal of na- .tional...music was produced by the French.‘ The Societee Nationale de Musiqlle Francoise was formed and model-ll French music owes a. great deal to the Societcc.

For n time Wagner influenced French music and later Rimsky- Korsakoff and Russian music were copied.

The piblleer Wench modemists were Chaubrier and Faure who made use of whole tone scales and seventh chords. They were closely allied to the new impressionistic movement of the poets and the painters. _

Of the modems, Debussy. who is rapidly becoming a. classic. is the true exponent of Impressionism and Symbolism. Maurice Ravel, too, is important but widely dif- ferent from Debussy. the depictor of “shadows and rainbow reflec- tions." Revels music is infused with irony, humour and classic precision.

D’Indy is also a very influential figure amongst the French mod- ernists aithoughiie is more con- servative and more’ intellectual than the majority.

The ultra-modenlists, Miiheud. Honnegar, Poulenc and others who set aside the cult of Impression- ism have gone about as for as they can in dissonance which sounds harsh to unaccustomed ears. There may possibly be in the near future a reaction and a return to Romanticism in music.

Two of Debussj/‘s piano composi- tions, “Reflections on the Water" aud "The Submerged Cathedral," were splendidly interpreted by

French songs as only she can sing them: "The Bells." by Debussy; "Cradle Song," by Rhene-Baton: “I Cry ' While Dreaming." by Georges Hue: "Exquisite Hour," by Reynaldo Hahn; "Le Calibri," by Ernest Chausson; "Three Days of the Vintage Season," by Reynaldo Hahn.

Mrs. Full accompanied Mrs Nash, and Mrs. Rogers accompanied Mrs. Reymond-
