It is nearer the standard

of "Opera Comique" than of operetta, and it is of infinitely better quality than the plot deserves. The main plot concerns the discovery of two treasures by an adventurous young nobleman-these are buried bullion and Saffi, the gipsy heroine. There are several side issues, one of which nearly brings about the Baron’s marriage with Arsena, a wealthy pig-breeder’s daughter. 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH AND MELODY 11.0 CLOSE DOWN YK SBeRtane 5. 0-6.0 p.m. Light music 7. 0 After dinner music 8.0 "Bands and Ballads," with at 8.30, "Here’s a Queer Thing" 9. 0 Melody and merriment 9.34 "Personal Column" 9.48 Bernhard Levitow’s Salon Orchestra: ‘Mattinata" (Leoncavallo), "Strauss Waltz" (Strauss), "Spring" (Grieg), "Czardas" (Monti) 10.

It is undoubtedly the most charming of: the four numbers, and anticipates the Nom ng later impressionistic style, particularly in

the harmonic texture. What Debussy meant when he called this. Suite "Bergamesque" is not quite clear. The word really means, as readers of a "Midsummer Night’s Dream" know, a dance, and it. takes its name from Bergamo, of which place Debussy was a native. This music seems to be the very embodiment in music of the calm beauty of the summer night and the white light of the full moon. 9.0 Reserved 9.20 Weather report and station notices 9.25 Recording: London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Albert Coates, "Symphony No. 3 in D Major Op. 29" .......
