BRITISH MUSIC SOCIETY. This is a body which was formed in 1918, on the initiation of Dr. Eaglefield Hull and under the presidency of Lord Howard de Walden, to further the interests of British music and of music in general in Great Britain. The society aims at stimulating the musical life of the nation, alike by developing and co-ordinating the work of existing organizations and by its own activities carried on through the agency of its vari ous provincial centres and local branches throughout the coun try. At the same time, in virtue of its relations with the Inter national Society for Contemporary Music, of which it constitutes the British section, the society is in close touch with Continental music.
