A New Patriotic Song . WOKDS BY G. A. WYCHERLEY. MUSIC BY G. B. LAIDLAW. IHIS NEW " SG&TG OP WELCOME" comes at a very opportune time, and will appeal to thousands of patriotic singers. The words tell of "laurels wm," the " cheering voices of the throng,_ and the heroes who have " added fame to Britain's name and heightened the Empire s glory _ _ Ihemusic is tuneful and pleasing ; the chorus, full of rousing vigour and dash, almost invites singers to join in ! lms is a song that is sure to suit the popular taste. What the Evening Star says :—" It is a good song, suitable for a welcome social and worthy of a place on a concert programme. Mr G. A. Wycherley's verses, which are elating and yet free from offensive crowin" or boastful metaphor, picture in simple words a home-coming sc lie, and the chorus brings in tho individual welcome that makes it pers* nal to every sin-.er. Mr G. B. Laidlaw, the composer of the music, has also done his work well. This >ong is one that arrests attention and securos a hearing right through. 80l I and meaningful in its entire scope, it ha< several most effectual passages that prick the senses and Utt one's feelings to a gladdening height. Mr Laidlaw has written a rich and firm accompaniment. A further merit about ' When the Boys Come Home ' is that it is easy to sing and to play. BEAUTIFUL PICTURE TITLE PAGE.
