A New Pot-pourri by Julius Buerger
THE B B C CHORUS
(Section D) and THE B B C THEATRE ORCHESTRA
Leader, Montague Brearley
Conducted by STANFORD ROBINSON
Music knows no national frontiers, yet folk music almost invariably is as characteristic as a flag. Fascinating music it is, too, full of melody and rhythm, and expressive of the soil and the joys and pains of love. This evening' Dr. Buerger has collected the folk music of eleven countries : England, Italy, Germany, Czechoslovakia, France
: Poland, Norway, Spain, Austria, Russia and Hungary, and he has welded this medley of tunes into an hour's potpourri. An interesting feature of this broadcast is that the songs will be sung in the language of their origin.
