program of old Manx songs. both
solo and ensemble. rendered with char
acteristic rhythm and sentiment, under
direction of Miss Jennie Glennan, made
the February meeting of the Gaelic
Society Tuesday evening an occasion
to be remembered Much painstaking
research has been necessary to make

which notation was made only by
hearing the older people among the
miners and fisher folk sing them as
they had been handed down from gem
GRAFTON to generation by word OF
mouth. Most of the songs seem to be
built on the Gregorian tones, more par
ticularly the Dorian tones, and have
been written out when sung by the
natives and later harmonized by mod
ern composers interested in folk music.
