Largo, Allegro, Aria with two variations Michael Festing Arensky 4. Basso Ostinato Hymn 247. " Happy are they " (W. Croft, 1677-1727) The Music was played by Mr. Sykes, and was thoroughly appreciated by the School. The first item, a Chorale from Bach's Christmas Oratorio, has been arranged as an organ solo, or as a suitable organ accompaniment to voices by Mr. Sykes himself. We sincerely hope he will continue in this good work. The third organ solo is taken from the Sonata in E for violin and thoroughbass, arranged for the organ by G. T. Thalben-Ball. Arensky's Basso Ostinato " is written in the unusual time of " five-four." The melody given out in the pedals is continuously repeated throughout the piece. During Lent, the Choir and School have sung the Litany, and A. Hastings Kelk's shortened setting of the Benedicite at the Sunday morning services. As usual, the full Commination service was held on Ash Wednesday, and the shortened form of it on succeeding Fridays in Lent. 1.
