Presented by Vernon Harris
(Section C) Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Clifton Helliwell
Folk song and the life of the countryside-these are the dominant influences in the music of George Butterworth , who had composed but a slender store of works when, at the age of thirty-one, he was killed in the last war.
His idyll The banks of green willow', first performed in 1913, is scored for a small orchestra of wood-wind, horns, trombone, harp, and strings. It is built upon two folk tunes. The first, that which gives the work its title, is heard on the clarinet. ' Green Bushes', the other tune (in the minor key), is given out by the oboe.

' Out to grass' W. A. Stewart and George Hone
Barbara Mullen and Eric Portman in extracts from 'JEANNIE' by Aimee Stuart now being presented by Howard Wyndham and Bronson Albery at Wyndham's Theatre
The play produced in the theatre by Irene Hentschel and for broadcasting by Bruce Belfrage
While Jeannie deals with one of the dramatist's favourite situations-that of the little 'nobody' who inherits money and sets off to buy romance with it - it carries through the idea with unusual charm. Jeannie, a little Scotswoman who has been the essence of domesticity all her life, suddenly finds herself in Vienna tasting life in terms of grand hotels, Gypsy bands, and noblemen.
The play has proved a great success at Wyndham's Theatre, though many listeners heard it before this production when it was first broadcast as a radio play some years ago.

To help him she appoints tiny Jiminy Cricket as his official conscience and he has a full-time job.

String Quartet in D minor (1824)
(Death and the Maiden) played by The Stratton String Quartet
George Stratton (violin), Carl Taylor (violin), Watson Forbes (viola),
John Moore (cello)
Schubert's Quartet in D minor, which is in four movements, takes its name from the slow movement, which is a very beautiful set of variations on his song ' Death and the Maiden'. Indeed this week might easily be called ' Tragic ', for, in addition to the choice of theme for the slow movement, the first movement is imbued with the spirit of resignation and sorrow. It was certainly written about the time that Schubert was going through pecuniary troubles and illness : I am', he said, ' the most unhappy and wretched creature in the world.'
Address by the Rev. W. H. Elliott
A verse play for radio by LI. Wyn Griffith

In Ireland, Deirdre ; in Wales, Branwen-symbols of the beauty of sorrow. The old legend, dear to the Welsh people, will be told tonight in verse and in dramatic form. Wyn Griffith , the author, has already published a long poem on this theme ; he is also well known for his Up to Mametz' and for his novel of Welsh life 'The Wooden Spoon'.
