"Music of the Elements"

T is a well-known fact that music has been used extensively to create certain atmospheres, and to describe certain phases and objects of life. The lighter composers generally use their music for one of these purposes, and, at times, with no little suecess; however, it is also recognised that the standard composers of the world have also written music for some descriptive purpose. On Monday, November 21, 4YA will broadcast a programme illustrating in musical characterisation the elements -Harth, Air, Fire, and Water. Bach of the songs and selections presented will depict in musical form one of these élements. Listeners will thus have an opportunity of judging as to what extent the various composers have succeeded in their efforts.
