Songs of the East
PROGRAMME of authentic songs of the East will be heard from 1YA at 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 14, presented by the Auckland Lyric Harmonists conducted by Claude Laurie, with Valerie Bowman. at the piano. Countries represented include Russia, Armenia, Syria, Israel, Portuguese East Africa and India. There will also be a Zulu anthem, an original work imitating European hymn style and written by a native Methodist minister. And, says Mr. Laurie, it is well on the way to becoming a national anthem for many of the African peoples. It is called "Nkossi. sikelela Afrika." Israel’s contribution will be "My Youngest One Is Wedded," written in a minor key, but nonetheless gay and happy.
