National Orchestra via BBC
HE National Orchestra of the NZBS has lately been playing for an audience somewhat larger than usual, in fact, for the world at large. It has contributed a programme to a special Coronation series entitled Commonwealth Concert Hall, which is playing in the General Overseas Service of the BBC. Programme schedules were not fixed by the BBC in time to draw attention to the first broadcast of the New Zealand programme, but the final playing is scheduled for 9.15 am. N.Z. time on Friday, April 17. Other contributions to the series will come from Britain, Australia and Canada. The orchestral items to the New Zealand programme are Mozart’s Symphony No. 34 in C, the interlude from Strauss’s "Intermezzo," Opus .72, and Elgar’s "Cockaigne" Overture. Wellington’s Schola Cantorum contributes two motets, by Weelkes and Mundy respectively, and Samuel Barber’s choral songs "Reincarnations." In addition there is a Maori greeting by Col. Charles Bennett and a Maori traditional song ‘by Phyllis Williams, better known to New . Zealanders as Kirimamae.
