Doc, Organist of Westminster Abbey. Words by His Honour Judge E. A. Parry. Illustrated Cover, representing Kapellmeister Krab, by Archie Macgregor. Royal 8vo, Is. " The reviewer's duty in this case is confined to considering the music of Dr. Bridge : the pleasant task of praising Judge Parry's verses is super- fluous. . . . The learned Dr. Bridge, of Westminster, who also wields the thunders of the Albert Hall, the greatest living authority on Purcell, and hard to beat at counterpoint, is also known as the most genial of musical humorists. It was, therefore, a happy idea which inspired the witty Judge of County Courts to seek the aid of ' Westminster ' Bridge in this case, and the results have been remarkably happy. Dr. Bridge's melodies are simple and engaging, and humorously descriptive where necessary, without ever becoming unintelligible to the youngest hearer. That they never descend below the dignity of music, and are thoroughly sound, goes without saying," — Manchester Courier.
