FRO~[ an article under the above title by D. Donaldson in the Musical Standard of July 15 we extract the following: 'Ye are accustomed to hear orchestras all the year round, but the idea of a whole season of chamber concerts seems almost ludicrous. Yet there is such a season during six months of every year; and it has, moreover, the appearance of a very hardy annual. I refer to tbe South Place Sunday Concerts. For twenty-five years, in spite of tbe enormous popUlarisation of the orchestra and competitivE' Sunday entertainments of all kinds, the l\1usic ommittee of the South Place Institute has succeeded in providing a series of concerts of c;hamh& music of the highest class, and-more remark­ able still-has never failed to attract adequate and genuinely appreciative audiences. Originally started by the People's Concert Society, the South Placil oncerts have been managed since 1887 by an independent committee. At first they seem to have been frankly educational and not altogetber uncon­ nected with the" uplifting of the masses"; but nowadays, while happily they have lost none of their democratic character, they are free from the definitely didactic, and whole-souled enjoyment is the prevailing mood with the audience. In the early days, it appears, the promoters had to feel their way, and at first thought it desirable to split up the longer instrumental works, interspersing songs or solos between the various movements in order not to tire the audience: an expedient which bappily soon proved to be unnecessary. From the very first the Committee have had the co-operation of artists of the first rank, and the performances invariably reach a high standard of excellence. There is nothing in the least degree amateurish about the under­ taking. Regular appearances are made by such players as the Grimson Quartet, the John Saunders Quartet, the " Tessely Quartet, the Schwiller Quartet, the London Quartet, the New Trio, the Chaplin Trio, the Queen's Hall Chamber Musicians-to name but a few. Among pianists intimately associated with the concerts may be mentioned: Messrs. Richard Epstein, Herbert Fryer, Percy Grainger, Hamilton Harty, Senor Sobrino, Sir Charles Stanford, Mr. Richard \Yalthew, and Sir Henry 'Yood; while no series can be called complete without appearances by Messrs. Adolf Borsdorf, Charles Draper, and Gerald \Valenn, and Miss May Mukle. Of vocalists the follow­ ing, among many others, are certain to be heard during the season : Miss Ethel Bevans, Miss Grainger Kerr, Miss Edith Kirkwood, Miss Margaret \Vild; Messrs. Frederic Austin, Gordon Cleather, Franklin Clive, Gervase Elwes, Plunket Greene, J. Campbell Mclnnes. Two most valued belpers are lamented in tbe late Mrs. Henry J. 'Vood and the late Denis O'Sullivan, both of whom appeared on many occasions. It is not possible here to give a complete list of names, for, indeed, there are few artistes of note who have not at some time or orner been heard at South Place. Of the programmes it is impossible to speak too highly: it is not too much to say that they are invariably interesting. A sane catholicity has always directed the 'ommittee; and, while due prominence is given to the classics, all phases of modern work are accorded a ready hearing. Although many of the best-loved things of Beethoven, Brahms, Dvonik, Grieg, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, and Tchalkovsky have been played often, very welcome repetitions of works by contemporary writers are heard from time to time. Many new compositions-some of which have since attained as much popularity as ever falls nowadays to the lot of chamber music-have received their first London performance at South Place. Among these may be instanced: Hamilton Harty's String Quartet in A, Paul Juan's Piano Sextet, a quartet and quintet by Joseph Speaight, two quintets by Edith 'wepstone, 1'chaikovsky's String extet, Ernest \'\Talker's Viola Sonata in C and Horn Quintet in II flat minor, Richard \\ althew's String Quartets in E and II flat and Piano Quartet in G minor. Moreover, a number of modern works played elsewhere for the first time have be~n enthusiastically received at these concerts. If frequency of performance is any index to vitality in classical works, chumann's Piano Quintet retains most youth with twenty-three repetitions, while Dvonik's work in the same form is a good second with twenty-two, and that of llrahms not far behind with fifteen. All the Beethoven string quartets have been played many times, excepting the great fugue, which, for some reason, has never yet appeared in the South Place programmes. The 'ommittee, it may be, has some secret objection to polyphony, which will a lso account for the infrequent occurrence of the thrice-noble ]ohann Sebastian's name. I cannot pretend to give anything like a list even of the most popular numbers in the repertory, but it may be mentioned that up to the close of last season (April 2, '9") ten or more performance of the following works have been given:

l3eethoven-Piano Trios, Op. I, ~o. 3 j Op. 70, ~o. 1; Op. 97; Kreutzer Sonata. Brahms-Piano Quintet, Op. 34. Gade-Trio, Op. 42 Grieg-\-iolin Sonata, Op. 8. Mozart-String Qua rtet in . (From the set dedicated to Uaydn.) Mendelssohn-Piano Trios in C minor and D minor; Octet. chumann-Piano Trio in D minor j Phantasiestucke j Piano Quartet. Sterndale Hennett-Piano Trio, Op. 26. Tchaikovsky-Piano Trio. Scores of other well-beloved works have been frequently played: Mozart's String Quintet in G miner; Stanford's Piano Quintet; Haydn's tring Quartets. Op. 76, No . 2 and 3, and Op. ii. Xo. I; Brahms' llurn Trio ami Schubert' Piano Trio in B flat, for instance, have all been heard nine times. But lest the more eager should be led to complain of the shade of the cc chest­ nut tree," many le ser-known compositions in every form have been per­ formed-always with encouraging appreciation. The instrumental solos are often of exceptional interest; one even remembers hearing a selection from Bach's" Forty-eight" ! T he vocal part of the programmes is never commonplace, and. in this respect, can give points to many of the more belauded efforts of \Yest End concert-giver. A large number of n{"w songs (many in MS.) have been sung from time to time, while for those of conservative tastes there is never any lack of old favourites. British composers have a lways been heartily encouraged, and quite a number of their works bave been several times t:.epeated-an experience not too common in the career of most of them. Jt is a maller of some delicacy to pick out names, but the following will show that South Place is not obsessed by any particular clique, nor attached to any special school: AIgernon Ashton, Ernest Au tin, Frank Bridge, \\alford Davies, James Friskin, Hamilton Harty, Joseph IIolbrookc, W. Y. IIurlstone, ]. B. McEwen, ,-orman O'Xeill, Hubert Parry, Cyril Scott, ]oseph Speaight, Charles V. Stanford, Edith Swepstone, Josephine Troup, S. Coleridge Taylor, Ernest Walker, Richard 11. Walthew, H. Waldo Warner, R. Vaughan Williams. Compositions by all these writers, among others, have a permanent place in the South Place repertory j and by no means the least interesting concerts of the seas,m are those devoted entirely to British works. In all eighty-eight works by thirty-nine British composers have been given­ excluding solos and all vocal pieces. The "special concerts," each composed entirely of the worl(s of one writer, have proved to be very popular. Of these twelve have been accorded to Beethoven; ten to chubert j ten to Brahms; seven to Tchai'kovsky; six to chumann j five to Mozart; four to Mendelssohn j two to D\'oruk j and one each to Grieg, Haydn, and Richard trauss. Nine concerts of modern l3ritish music have been given, as weU as six of Iri'h and five of Scandi­ navian. Russian and modern French works have also received notice in this way; while the English composers so. distinguished include Sir Hubert Parry, Sir Charles Stanford, and Mc. RIchard " Talthew.. A particularly pleasant feature of the undertalnng IS the demeanour of the audience. There is none of the polite submissiveness so painfully apparent among the deadheads at VVest End halls; n.or is there, if o~e. may be permitted to say so, the excessIve personal adulatiOn so charactenstlc of the concerts given by certain popul~r virtuosi. The South . Place audience is always out to hear musIc; and IS one of the most exactIng, and at the same time one of the most appreciative, in London. On several occasions variety has been introduced in the form of lectures on musical topics. Among these the most recent were ~1c. Plunket Greene's on "Interpretation in Song," and Mr. Walthew's course of three on "The Development of Chamber Music." It is safe to assert that both of these items helped in no small degree to quiCKen interest and to raise appreciation to a more rational and more authoritative plane. From all this it is obvious that at South Place chamber music is a very live thing indeed . Up to now 588 concerts have been given, representing well over a thousand performances of concerted chamber works, besides innumer­ able instrumental solos and songs; and although no charge has ever been made for admission, and no ehdowment exists to relieve the anxious om­ mittee, the voluntary contributions of the audience are-after a little coaxing -sufficient to make the enterprise self-supporting. I have said little about those who have done so much in the past to keep the thing alive; but if I have unduly emphasised the present-day aspect of the concern, it is not that I undervalue what has been done in former years, but simply that I wish to show that there is abundant life still left in it. If a revival of public interest in chamber music ever does come about, it is to such agenc.ies as this that the credit will be due. We cannot hope to fill the Albert Hall for a string quartet-nor do we desire such extravagant publicity-but we can look forward to a time when it will be possible to regard a concert of chamber music as something not altogether strange and foolhardy. "Chamber music," it has been well said, "is essentially the , and the composer knows that he is writing for an audience few, but select. He is not tempted to write clap-lrap, and he knows that if he plays the monntebank, his audience in the end will discover bis fustian and bombast. The composer in writing chamber music has no incentive to please the gallery, and all affectations and poses are out of place.' (The Developmc'll ot Chamber Music, by R. H. Walthelv) . The music of friends! It is in very great measure to the frank co-opera­ tive feeling between the arhstes, the Concert Committee, and the audience that the continued success of the work at South Place is due. It is an under­ taking conceived in the best spirit and carried out in a highly efficient and enlightened manner, worthy the support of all genuine music-lovers. In spite of the cheery disparagements of orchestral partisans, and of that much more formidable obstacle-public indifference-it has been possible to continue through storm and calm a series of concerts wbich, in point of number and interest, seriousness and catholic sympathy, as well as educational value, is-at all events in England-unique. THE ETHICAL MOVEMENT. MANY members of lhe Soulh Place and other Ethical Socielies must have felt lhe need, at some lime or other, of a convenient book settillg forth the aims and objects of sllch socielies The Ell/ical Movement: 115 P1'l'llciPlcs alld Ai1lls, hy H. J. Bridgcs,Stanlon Coil, G. E. 0'De1l, and Harry SneJl (Union of Elhical Societies), is a book which should supply lhat nt!ed. The principles of lhe publishing body have been tabulated, and each chapter deals with one of them; hence Ethicism is dealt wilh in all its phases. In the chapter on the" Evolution of Morality" it is pointed out that morality evolves in the same way as the species itself evolves, and that it is of purely human origin and un influenced by any divine revelation. Later on the authors say that what we need most of all is a science of Ethics. There is, however, a danger of bowing the knee too much to science. Even if we are able to collect our facts and formulate our science, is it not certain that in a comparatively short time our ideas of morality will have evolved still further and our science will bave become obsolete? This chapter should be read in conjunction with that on "Authority in Religion," because nothing would be gained by giving up the authority of the Pope or the Bible for that of a science. It is necessary to have a code of laws to keep Society together; but the ultimate determination of what is right and wrong must rest with the individual. The chapter on "The Need for Ethical Societies" is one of special interest. The authors have shown the need for such societies very clearly when they say that" a trade union branch may make a man more of a carpenter or a clerk, ... a learned society more of a geologist or a bibliophile, ... but an ethical fellowship tends not to emphasise a man's particularity, but to make him more roundedly human. ' The book should certainly be read by all South Plac.!Lmembers who want to know what is being thought by others who are working in the same field as themselves. D. C. T.
