5.20 Songs and stories of the Scottish Clans
' Clan Douglas ' devised by Helen Drever and Scottish dance tunes played by the John MacArthur Trio
Although the Douglases have for the most part appeared in Scottish history as a Lowland family, the authorities agree that they have every right to be regarded as a clan. The deeds of their warriors are as stirring as any Highland clan can show. One of the most famous, which will be featured in this programme, tells of the faithful Lord James Douglas who took the heart of his dead master as he was commanded, in a silver casket, to crusade in the Holy Land.

A programme on the work of R.A.F. Coastal Command squadrons operating in the Atlantic, illustrated by recordings made at R.A.F. flying-boat stations
Linking material narrated by Edward Ward
The programme written and produced by W. Farquharson Small in collaboration with H. L. Morrow
Not a day of the week goes by without the twenty-seven-ton flying boats of the R.A.F. Coastal Command flying thousands of miles to protect convoys, police the seas, and combat the U-boat menace.
For the last few weeks
W. Farquharson Small has been investigating every side of life in the Coastal Command. In his programme tonight he will present a dramatic picture of what happens, from the moment an air convoy takes off from its base until the moment, many hours later, when, having done its day's work, and flown maybe 1,600 miles, it returns to harbour. The voices of Coastal Command men will be heard, among them that of the pilot who rescued the crew of the Kensington Court.

Meditation on an old Bohemian choral (St. Wenceslas).....
Suk Josef Suk was a pupil and later became son-in-law of Dvorak. This short work, of which the character is implied in the title, was composed in 1914, just after the outbreak of war, and though it is in no sense programme music, it does express something of the turmoil and tragedy of the time.
Zoltan Kodaly , one of the leaders of the nationalist school of Hungarian composers, has written various chamber works, of which this quartet is the most easily approachable. 'The music is, as is usual with Kodaly, considerably influenced by the Hungarian cymbalom technique and the general style of Gypsy improvisations. The second movement of this quartet recalls the atmosphere of national dance also to be found in the composer's cello and piano sonata and the Duo for violin and cello.
