Hong Kong Singers

Special Coronation Programme

The Hong Kong Singers have begun active rehearsals of the two works which will form their be special Coronation Recital, -to give sometime early in May. The works are Elgar's "Coronation Ode" and Dyson's "In Honour of the City."

As at their last successful pre- sentation of "Elijah," the Singers will again be accompanied by full orchestra and will be under the conductorship of Mr. Lindsay A. Lafford, F.R.C.O., L.R.A.M., A.R.C.M.

The "Coronation Ode" is 3 straightforward setting. for S.A.T.B. Soloists and Chorus, which presents no particular dif- ficulties. The Dyson work, how- ever, is a new departure for the Singers. It is a highly original setting of a 15th century poem by William Dunbar in praise of Lon- don, "of all townes a per se," dis- tinctly modern in manner and presenting a number of problems with which the Singers are pro- bably not already familiar. The Chorus, however, has tackled the work with enthusiasm, and though only two rehearsals have hitherto been held, they have already made good progress.

Rehearsals are held every Tues- day afternoon at the Union
