FIFESHIRE JOURNAL, THURSDAY 28TH JANUARY 1851
NEW MUSIC
We have seen a song entitled ‘Break! Break! Break!’ the music composed by Miss Jane More, of the Ladies Seminary, Cairneyhill. The words by Alfred Tennyson, published by permission. The melody is very expressive, and beautifully adapted to the poetry. Amateurs allow that the piano accompaniment is very effective and displays great taste. The song is illustrated by a pictorial sea scene, drawn by the author, on stone, from a design by J Noel Paton, Esq, to whom the song is dedicated.

DUNFERMLINE – PRESENTATION
The Cairneyhill Musical Association met in the school-room at Cairneyhill, on the evening of Friday, 19th instant, when Mr J Keir presided, and Mr David Wilson, of Rimmelton Farm, presented Mr Wm Hutchison, leader of psalmody in Gillespie U.P. Church, their conductor, with a purse of sovereigns as a mark of their esteem. Mr Hutchison thanked them in an appropriate manner for their kindness. This society has been in practice for the past six months, and has made great progress in musical culture. The evening was afterwards spent very happily. Songs and sentiment prevailed. Miss Wilson’s rendering of ‘Edinboro Toon’ drew forth a hearty encore.
