Musical Oasis
ONE of the least satisfactory features of National Stitions’. programming in the past has been the odd fill-in periods of miscellaneous music at various times during the day, several sounding as if a fistful of records had been plucked at random from the racks. It is pleasant to be able to commend what seems to be another step towards more coherent planning, in the most agreeable half-hour that 1YA now provides from 11.30 to noon on most days. This has, during the past couple_of weeks, turned out to be one of the best musical spots of the entire day. Musical anniversaries are remembered’ and commemorated; on*"other occasions the music is chosen to provide an oasis of calm in the rush of a working day. Last week’s Mozart and Rachmaninoff programmes were .examples of intelligent selection, nice antidotes to the mood of the late morning. It might not be quite the old "music while you work"; it is something better
-music while you listen.
