THE CONDUCTOR

The choir has Mr. Alfred E. 8. Hata for its conductor. He studied in the Central China University i Wachang and later the National Conservatory of Music in Shang-

hal. One of the best and most talented of China's choir masters and orchestra conductors. Mr Hsia is also noted as a trumpet player and a composer. His works that have been sung by the Wuhan Songsters and other patriotic choir in China include "The Lone Bat- talion," "Final Victory Win Be Ours," "Song of the Air Force" and "Ladies' War Song."

Most popular among the Wuhan Songsters' repertoire of thirty patriotic songs-are "Song of the Great Wall," "Blood Over the Yel- low River" and "Our Flag Is Waving." The Arst one describest China's Great Wall and beyond it the mountains clad with trees and plains overgrown with crops where thousands
