ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL
Selection, ' Haydn Wood 's
Popular Songs'
ONE of a family of musical brothers, Haydn Wood has earned the sincere gratitude of all whose task it is to provide light and cheerful music. Bom in Yorkshire, he was a brilliant student at the Royal College of Music, and afterwards carried on his studies of the Violin in Brussels. He visited most countries of the world as a soloist, in a company which included the great Albani.
Although best known as a purveyor of popular music, like the songs of which this melodious selection is made up, he has written more serious works, such as a Pianoforte Concerto, a Suite, and Orchestral Variations, as well as a String Quartet which had the distinction of winning one of the prizes given by Mr. W. W. Cobbett.
