Mr.. Grdinger's first contribution was
the Irish tune from County Derry,
which has been heard before. and which
the composer has also treated instru-
mentally. The arrangement for mixed
chorus unaccompanied and without
words proved TO be beautiful and inter
esting. Mr.. Grainger's ingenuity in
making contrasts between passages
sung with closed mouth and others with
mouth open was noteworthy. Brig
