Arnold Bax This spirited Overture was first performed at a Halle Orchestra concert in Manchester, under Sir Hamilton Harty, to whom it is dedicated. On the composer’s own confession it has no programme, and it can. bé eonsidered as merely illustrating the title; indeed, the first indication to the violins is to play a melody in @

manner "gay and impudent," and the whole Overture moves in that gait. No other word than picaresque could adequately describe it. 8.30 Vladimir Rosing (tenor), "In the Silent Night" Rachmaninoff "Spring Waters" Rachmaninoff 8.34 Tessa Birnie, young Auckland pianiste, "Rhapsody in B Minor" Brahms "Romance in F Sharp Major" Schumann "Gardens in the Rain" Debussy 8.49 Recordings: Rauta Waara (soprano), pdt ES kes | peereree Sibelius "The First Kiss" .

Rossini thereupon wiped his hands of Italian audiences and resolved to establish himself elsewhere. Opportunely he received an invitation to go to London, and to write a new opera for the King’s Theatre, for which he was to get £240 (He had already had £200 for "Semiramide," almost a maximum payment in those days.) 8.14 Len Barnes (baritone recital): "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Bere AR pee Licks!
