of her historical lecture recitals yes
terday afternoon at the Worcester Pi-

for illustration were DR.. John Bull,
who, appropriately enough, was an En-

ganist at the great cathedral in Ant
Werp, and died in that city; Couperin,
Rameau Scarlatti, who was the first
composer to introduce runs in triplets
and the crossing of hands into his mu-
sic; Haendel and John Sebastian Bach.
Brief biographical sketches of the COM
posers were given, particular stress be-
ing laid upon the peculiar part each
! had played in the development of mu-
! sic, after which compositions by each
were played by Miss Tucker. Bach
1 was represented more fully than the
other composers in the group, and his
| fugue, No, 2, which was one of the
numbers chosen TO represent him, was
carefully analysed. The whole pro-
gram was most enjoyable.
