Elgar The ‘ Cockaigne " Overture, ** In London Town," is vividly descriptive of the manysided life of a busy capital. The music sets before us first the crowds and bustle of the streets, and soon there is an episode in more serious vein — London’s dignity. The vivacious opening returns, and then Wwe are told of two young lovers — a melody on the violins. Then we are introduced to street urchins and a military band. London’s sounds, many sided, many-. coloured, carefree, and haphazard, are all here for those that have ears to hear. 9.20 READINGS, by Professor T, D.
