Week of Song Cycles
FJURING the M.C.C.’s visit to Otago, 4YO went on the air in the afternoons to take the alternative programme, so that; thanks to a little forethought, the Classical Hour did not have to give way to the cricket commentary. What’ anyone was to do who wanted to listen to both, of course, was not provided for; but I imagine most of those who were in favour of cricket would have gone.to the match, anyhow. It would have been a pity to omit any part of the week of Song Cycles, which were the afternoon feature. e had Bach’s Wedding Cantata, two afternoons of Schubert’s Maid of the Mill, Vaughan Williams’s On Wenlock, Edge, and Britten’s remarkable Serenade for. Tenor Voice, French Horn, and Strings (which sounds, as usually anndunced, as though it had been written for that bandsmen’s instrument, the tenor-horn). With two days still remaining in the week, this cycle of works abruptly finished, Schumann and Brahms evidently being "also rans."
