Gwladys Garside (contralto) (First Performance)
The ' Nocturne ', to be heard for the first time tonight, is Felix White 's tenth orchestral work, and was written last autumn. It is simpler in design than much of his music, and should therefore offer no problems to the listener. The material virtually consists of a long, flowing 'cello melody, which is later on transferred to the violins and is eventually brought to a soaring climax. Then the brass intone a solemn phrase, and the 'Nocturne closes quietly as it began.
