The Ethical Expansionist!
Hilda Johnson.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT THE BOSTON SYMPHONY HALL
SINCE Bach so well his clavier tuned, since Palestrina wrote his Masses,
Since Modes Ecclesiastical began to puzzle music-classes,
All Anglo-Saxondom has tried, by teaching of its lads and lasses,
The gift of Orpheus to acquire,
Whilst substituting for his lyre
The concert-room’s imposing choir—string-orchestra, wood, wind, and brasses.
Hallé in Free Trade Hall I heard when first I took the music craze on;
