9 Twice in a lifetime'
A sentimental episode for broadcasting by Julian Crane

The Author
1 The Baron's Room '
A macabre episode for broadcasting by Norman Edwards
Cast
Production by Val Gielgud
Twice in a Lifetime is a Julian Crane play rather in the same manner as Music at Night. It is a sentimental episode of the kind in which man meets woman out of context, and finds himself very much in context with her. The scene is a small London restaurant, and two missed dates give it its meaning.
The Baron's Room curdles the blood rather than kindles the emotions. Here is a short play in which the macabre rings the bell, and the evil spirit of medievalism reaches forward to take toll of the twentieth century. In an old house taken by Tom Crane and his daughter strange things happen, culminating in the strangest and most surprisingly horrible thing of them all.

Of Richard Dering , a selection of whose madrigals you will hear this evening, Sir Richard Terry-one of the leading authorities on Tudor and Elizabethan music-has said :
Dering's Canzonets are little gems of-sheer beauty. His Cantiones have breadth and dignity together with a wide range of emotional expression. But in the sense that they expressed themselves in the older contrapuntal formula and were comparatively unaffected by the trend in the direction of monody, their music may fairly be described as the English madtigalpure English madrigal-in its last phase.
