A personal view by Bernard Keeffe

Filmed during one long, hot summer month of August, this music documentary is a series of vivid impressions of how the Japanese have not only wholeheartedly adopted Western music but are now challenging the West in musical education and in the mass production of music itself. For instance Dr Shinichi Suzuki teaches his violin pupils (the youngest not yet 2 years old) to play with the naturalness of a spoken language. But now Japanese composers are searching for a national style of expression after 100 years' exposure to Western traditions.

"The best music documentary to have been shown for a long time. The Japanese emerged from this programme as fiercely determined to beat the West at the cultural as well as the economic game musical" (Times: April 1971)

Each year thousands of people visit Snowdonia - a National Park covering 845 square miles of magnificent, varied scenery. Those who live and work in this grey green landscape know 'the rhythm of the seasons, wind and rain;' they know too the elusive wild life and rare beautiful flowers which often escape the eyes of the casual tourist.

It was the officials of the Palace, a sort of Privy Council, who helped the Pharaoh to govern. They controlled the revenue of the land, the growing of food and the raising of herds. Many were practical experts who supervised the building of irrigation canals and the construction of temples, tombs and pyramids.
