Cedric Thorpe Davie: Diversions on a theme by Dr Arne
Henry Wood: Fantasia on British Sea Songs
Parry, orch Elgar: Jerusalem with the BBC Singers, director John Poole

(For the best effect viewers with stereo Radio 2 should turn off TV sound and position their speakers on either side of the screen, but a few feet away. Stereo headphones provide a suitable alternative)
