Records Made by Nashdom Abbey Singers Will Be Used

"The Music of Henry VI and His Circle" is the subject of a lecture which Dom Ansolm Hughes, Secretary-Treasurer of the Plainsong and Mediaeval Society, Nashdom Abbey, England, will deliver under the auspices of the Division of Music tonight.

"Illustrated with new records, especially made by the Nashdom Abbey Singers, of music which, in some cases, has not been heard for close on 500 years," the lecture will take up the importance of the period 1440-1460 in English musical history, analyze its music, mention its composers, and discuss their problems.

Mr. Hughes will speak in Paine Hall, Music Building, at 8.15 o'clock. His talk will be open to the public.
