J. Crossweii, of Timaru, says a Homo correspondent. Talking to Aiiss Twomey, who returned to New riealaiKl uus ween Horn joondon, where she hud been studying at the Royal Academy of .Music foe some lime past, .something was gmaiied 01 the great awakening mat is taking place in liie musical world at Home. ••.Music i* booming there,' .Mess Tv.vjjiey said, “and is taking a pjace that n has not held in England for very many years past, ft would seem as though tne time were passing when

'a propnet lias no honour in hts own tM.Uiltry,’ for English musicians and composers are coming into their own.” Miss 'J'womey spoke 01 the research work in music that was being done by Mr Harold Craxton, who was making known Elizabethan music, and whoso achievements in this direction were very highly thought, of. Mr Craxton was one of the foremost accompanists m London, and had played for Elena Go 1 banii. and other famous .singers. England also was producing some great, conductor.'-, ah hough many I.minus men siiil came over from the Continent, notably irom Vienna. Miss

Tworney was present at a periormanco in .London of “La Boheme,” in .which Aielba and John ilislop, tho tenor, who has taken the musical world by storm, -sang, and the performance was a memorable one. it was rather curious. however, to hear the principals sing in Italian, and ail the others in English, and that is what is being done so much just now. Stella Murray, the Christchurch singer, was doing exceedingly well at Home, and another New Zealander, who is making good, is Esther Fisher, who made her debut as a piani.it in Paris some little time ago, and who has since been playing in London.
