" 11.30: "Passing By," A musical romance of Merrie England by Edmund ‘Barclay. . That whimsical little: poem by the old English poet, Forde "Passing By," forms the theme of this tender musical romance, which has its setting in the days when good Queen Bess was on* the’ Hnglish throne. ‘I. did "but see her passing by, yet will.I love her ‘till: I die" sings-the poet, arid ‘the story of show the. dover at. last "mééte:, his dream-ideal: charmingly handled. _ Songs, both solo and: chorus, are deftly woven into the presentation, selection having been made from the works of Tlizabethan composers, a period when ’ Hnglish music, particularly choral, : reached heights it has seldom if ever attained since. For sheer melody, the works of Purcell, Arne and Byrde, who ‘lived and sang gnd died in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, are perhaps ‘unsurpassed even to-day, and some of their most .lyrical creations will be ‘heard in- "Passing By." The pastoral charm of a by-gone age, and the simple rustic beauty of the countryside painted in unforgettable words by Isaac: Walton, are recaptured in dialogue and music which hag all the wistful loveliness of a quaint old theme written on harpsichord and lute. "Passing By" is interpreted by a strong cast of dramatic artists and melodious soloists, SATURIAY, MARCH 30. 10.0: Our radio dance night with A.B.C.
