A Light Orchestral Concert

on 2ZY Manchester

View in Radio Times

THE NORTHERN WIRELESS ORCHESTRA
This lighthearted and melodious Suite is in three movements. The first, a graceful dance, is called In a Country Garden; violins and woodwinds have the dainty tune at first, against accompaniment from plucked strings. The first violin and the oboe together have an alternative tune, and then the first returns.
The second movement is a Nocturne. Beginning in a very quiet mood, it has a rather more impetuous middle section, and closes strongly with a broad melody played by the whole orchestra.
The third movement, Humoresque, is a merry
Hornpipe. It has a little introduction, and then violins and woodwinds begin the lighthearted tune which maintains its energy to the end.
