During the period of his pastorate at Errol, Dr. Caird preached, in 1865, a sermon, entitled "The religion of common life," before the Queen at Crathie. This sermon was subsequently published ...

The dovetailing of play and music is at best a perilous proceeding. Every composer knows that. To give two acts of spoken Moliere (ye gods! and spoken in German) with occasional interludes of music, and then top it off with a mixture of opera seria and commedia del arte, is to invite a catastrophe. To be sure, the unfailing tact of Strauss in his setting of certain episodes of the Moliere play averted a smash-up, but not boredom. ...
