THE CHOIR COMPETITION.
TO THU EDITOR. gj r; __As an interested listener at tho above competition, I was amazed at tho decision of the adjudicator in placing Mosgicl Choir last. Dunedin audiences have tho reputation of knowing something about music, but, according to Mr Brash. 75 per cent, of Monday’s and Tuesday’s audience know' absolutely nothing. The reason, of course., was not far to seek, when our esteemed judge took tho baton. He wanted not music, but noise, and more noise Fancy an infant being lulled to sleep on Mr Brash’s interpretation. Mosj giel Choir may have lacked “weight,’' but it certainly, on both nights, gave the most artistic rendering, which was proved by the thunderous applause which greeted its effort. This should prove some consolation to tho choir, notwithstanding the one-man opinion. —I am. etc., Nut Muscielitk. September 29.
