china" is the entr’acte from Act 4 of Moussorgsky’s opera, "Khowantchina." It is a foreboding of the tragic events of the Act to follow. The other is Stravinsky’s "Dance of the Fire Bird." This is a particularly vivid piece of musie picture-painting. It reminds one of the legend of the Phoenix ris ing from the ashes. On Saturday evening 4YA will relay 8YA.
