Hon. the Prime Minister: "New Zealand’s Problems as I See Them" (Re-broadeast from 2YA) 9. 0 Reserved 9.20 Weather report and station notices 9.25 Music from the Theatre: "DON GIOVANNI" Part I. Mozart This great Opera began its career as opera bulfa, but Mozart was so carried away with the dramatic possibilities of the story, that his music makes of it something much greater. For the opening and closing scenes he composed some of the most dramatic music ever written. The intermediate scenes, treated in a spirit of comedy, are invested with music, charming and beautiful. The story deals with the amorous adventures of the incorrigible Don Giovanni, and the ineffectual attempts on the part of his victims to bring him to justice. In the closing scene, Don Giovanni meets his fate at the hands of the marble Statue of the Commandant, whom he had killed earlier, This is a Glyndebourne production.

Weather report for aviators DINNER MUSIC 2. 0 Selected recordings 2.30 More "Songs by Moussorgsky," sung by Vladimir Rosing with Miles Foggin at the piano In the fifty or so songs he wrote we often get the benefit of Moussorgsky’s bold and free individuality: sometimes, indeed, we have in his work the happiest product of the inspired amateur. He had an astonishing variety of styles; some of them he hammered out for himself. At one moment he is cleverly combining a folksong strain with the art-song manner; at another he is lyrical, in the manner of composers of other nations; sometimes he is frankly sentimental and sometimes realistically descriptive or declamatory. 2.50 Selected recordings 3.0 United thanksgiving service (Centennial), under the auspices of the Council of Christian Congregations (Relay from the Town Hall) 3.56 Selected recordings (approx.) 4.30 Close down 5.30 Children’s song service, conducted by Big Brother Bill
