LECTURE-RECITAL WILL BRING FELLOWES HERE

Elizabethan art songs will be the subject of a lecture-recital by Canon Edmund Horace Fellowes, of St. George's Chapel, Windson Castle, England, in Paine Hall next Monday at 8.15 o'clock. The recital, which is given by Mrs. F. S. Coolidge, is free to all members of the University.

Canon Fellowes, who is making his first American tour, is an authority on old English music of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, having devoted many years to the collection of the English madrigals from all available known sources. Nearly a thousand old English songs, gathered from fragmentary cathedral records, have been edited by Canon Fellowes, and published in a monumental work of 36 volumes, "The English Madrigal School."

Supplementing this large edition of English madrigals, Canon Fellowes has published at the Oxford University Press many critical books dealing with the technique and composition of Tudor music.

In addition to his research and publishing activities Canon Fellowes has lectured on Elizabethan and Jacobean madrigals

These books include "The English Madrigal Composers," in which Canon Fellowes gives a study of the English madrigal from every point of view, and a critical survey of the composers of the period, and "English Madrigal Verse," a collection of all the typical verse produced by the madrigalists and lutanists of Elizabethan and Jacobean

Canon Fellowes sings the old music to his own lute accompaniment, and uses in his lecture phonograph illustrations from records made by the English Singers. The program of Canon Fellowes' recital has not been announced.
