Born in 4881,.he studied in. Paris and. Vienna, but the insight he gained: there into the more conventional music of Western.Europe has not.in any way modified his enthusiasm for the folk songs of his: own country: AS a composer-he has dug deeply into the folk-music of his native land, and his. two Rumanian -Rhapsodies are filed with the folk spirit of the Slavonic race. 3.42 Selected recordings 4.0 Daventry news 4.20 Selected recordings 4.30 Close down 5.30 Children’s Song Service 6.15 Daventry news 7. 0 Presbyterian Service, relayed from St. Andrew’s Church. ~Preacher: Rev.

Delius First performance at Liverpool, January 18, 1908 Played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Geoffrey Toye "Brigg Fair: An English Rhapsody," by Delius, takes its name from a Lincolnshire folk song that tells how: "Tt was the fifth of August, The weather fine and fair, Unto Brigg Fair I did repair, For love I was inclined."’ For once the course of love runs smoothly; the singer meets his sweetheart, takes her "lily-white hand" ("and merrily was her heart’) and swears eternal fidelity. That is all. About the quietly beautiful, lilting melody of the old song (recorded in Lincolnshire by Perey Grainger and given by him to Delius), the composer has woven a dreamy orchestral meditation that is recognised as one of the masterpieces of twentieth century English music. 2.15 Selected recordings 3. 0 Leaders of the Churches in Early New Zealand TALK on "George Augustus Selwyn," by the Bishop of Wellington, Rt.

Mozart (Part 1) The story of this opera is worked out in terms of Masonic Mysteries and Ritual, for Mozart himself was a Freemason, The action takes place either in temples — Egypto-Masonic-or in the groves that Surround them. This is an outline of the plots Sarastro, the High Priest of the Temple of Isis, has removed Pamina from the evil guidance of her mother, the Queen of the Night, and keeps her guarded in his temple, where she is trained in the ways of virtue, The Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to attempt her abduction, promising him Pamina in marriage as his reward, This he attempts to do, accompanied by Papageno, the bird-catcher (who supplies the comic rélief), Tamino, however, on meeting Sarastro, comes at once under his influence, and chooses to remain in the Temple of Isis, where he and Pamina, successfully pass through the ordeals essential for initiation into the Mysteries, and at last are united. This production is complete with music and dialogue. 10.45 Close of normal programme. (approx. ) During the war, the station will remain on the air until 12 midnight.

They tell, however, quite clearly of sorrow and a lover’s broken heart; beginning .on a note of joyous exultation, "In the Glorious Month of May," they reach their end with a deep sense of tragedy. But they were composed in the very happiest part of Schumann’s life, begun about the time of his marriage to Clara Wieck, and finished less than four years: later, before any shadow of: illhealth had fallen on the complete happiness Which united these two artists. 3.30 Selected recordings 4. 0 Daventry news ~ 4.30 Selected recordings 6.30 Children’s Service "6.15 Daventry news » All’ programmes in this issue ere copyright to The Listener, and may not be reprinted without permission, ‘These programmes are correct as we go to press.
