SO
To Out and About
In reply to a communication pub
lished in Tuesdays paper, I would say
that Thomas Moore's beautiful lyric,
THE Last Rose of Summer" discov-
cred by him to be so fittingly adapted
to the familiar Irish folk melody which
has enchanted us all time and time
again, was used by Flotow in his OPP
era of Martha" it is true. neverthe-
less the arrangement differs slightly
both in melody and harmonic setting
from what might be termed the origi-
nal folk song. However, while Flo
lows arrangement of THE Last Rose
of Summer will be used at the recital
of familiar songs at the South Unita-
rian Church, Dec,13, mention of the
fact that it is an adaptation of an
Irish folk melody will not be omitted
from the program. Tickets for the re
cital may be obtained at Davis &
Banisters and Steinert's.
Yours truly,
(for the management,
CHARLES E. MAYHEM.
