An appreciation of his qualities as a conductor, recently published, says: “The huge choir and orchestra rivet their attention, a. light tap of the baton brings every instrument into position, and quietly, th© opening bars of th© overture steal over the great hall. As each part makes its entry the volume ol sound rises high, until finally, with ■ dramatic burst, the whole band marches as it were breastyhigh into tile great tide of music- His style is unforced, except when calling for somebig climax, when he rouses his choir and orchestra into the greatest fervour by his sudden burst of energy. His quiet. friendly nature, his approchableness, his readiness to help and hi earnestness in art, have all served to surround him with a host of friends who count it a pleasure and an honou to be associated with him in the cultivation of all that is highest and best in our musical life.”
