The pamphlet is signed by the three musicians. Some light wrinkling and two faint folds generally a very good copy. Dame Isobel Baillie DBE 9 March 1895 – 24 September 1983 née Isabella Douglas Baillie was a Scottish soprano. She made a local success in Manchester where she was brought up and in 1923 made a successful London debut. Her career encouraged by the conductor Sir Hamilton Harty quickly developed with breaks in the first years for vocal study in Milan. Baillie's career was almost wholly as a concert singer: she only once acted in an opera production on stage. She was associated above all with oratorio becoming well known for her many performances in Handel's Messiah Haydn's The Creation Mendelssohn's Elijah and the choral works of Elgar.
