Overtur
Arthur Benjamin was born in Sydney in 1893 and won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music, London. He is equally well known as a pianist and as a composer, and he first appeared on the concert platform at Queen's Hall in 1925, under Sir Henry Wood.
His compositions include the opera
The Devil Take Her and a Violin Concerto that has been played by both Albert Sammons and Louis Godowsky. He has also proved himself an original composer of film music, and among his successes is the music to Wings of the Morning.

' A Portrait of the Mayor ' and a record or two
authoress and composer of 'Boomps-a-daisy'
It would be fame in itself to be the author and composer of 'Boomps-a-daisy', which must have been sung and danced all over the world, but Annette Mills has written in addition winning numbers for almost every artist with a name - among them Frances Day, Douglas Byng, and Elisabeth Welch. George Elrick introduced her number 'With a feather in her Tyrolean hat', in a Henry Hall broadcast.
She has just flown back from Paris, where she has been entertaining British, French, and Polish troops. This evening she will sing a number of her own that has never been heard before.

' The Revenge'
A ballad of the fleet by C. V. Stanford
Poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson
The BBC Chorus
The BBC Orchestra (Section B)
Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Leslie Woodgate
Stanford's ballad for chorus and orchestra, The Revenge, is one of the most popular of his choral works. The music is very descriptive, particularly in the battle scene in which the Revenge, under the command of Sir Richard Gren ville, fights a brilliant but losing battle against the Spanish fleet. The work ends with the storm which played havoc with the Spanish ships and with the final extinction of the Revenge.
