Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Evelyn Innes, Vol. 1 of 2
Her reputation as a singer favoured her, and an aptitude for teaching enabled her to maintain, for many years, a distinguished position in the musical world. Mr. Innes's abilities contributed to their success, and he might have become a famous London orgamst if he had devoted himself to the instrument. But one day seeing in a book the words viola d'amore, he fancied he would like to possess an instrument with such a name. The instrument demanded the music that had been written for it. Byrd's beautiful vocal Mass had led him to Palestrina and Vit toria, and these wakened in him dreams of a sufficient choir at St. Joseph's for a revival of their works.
