A delightfully unconscious tribute was paid to the quality of the vox humana stop on the Wellington Town Hall organ at the recital on Saturday last. Mr. Maughan Barnett was playing a “Volkslied” (folk song), by Wolstenhome, consisting of a simple air subjected to different treatment, each displaying a distinct combination of stops. The final phase was that of vox humana, with tremolo. As soon as the air began, a little girl, six years of age, present with her parents, said: “Now he’s singing, isn’t he, Muni?” “No, dear, that’s the organ playing,” replied the mother. “Well,” said the .little one, “there must be someone inside, because I'can hear him singing!” “Hush, don’t talk, it’s the organ!” reiterated the mother. “Well it must be someone outside!” said the child, quite unconvinced.
