1-' Abu Hasan , the wag '
Adapted for radio by Henrik Ege , with music by Henry Reed
Cast with a chorus of lovely slaves, and the Augmented BBC Revue Orchestra, leader Boris Pecker , conductor
Hyam Greenbaum
Production by David Porter
Henrik Ege has been a prolific writer for radio since' his Depression over Fairyland was broadcast in 1930-many listeners will remember his Crisis over Fairyland, Hey, Listen, and Hokus Bogus , as well as his adaptations of such musical shows as Bitter Sweet, No, No, Nanette, The Vagabond King, and Showboat. His most recent adaptation was Pinocchio, broadcast on May 9.
Ege confessed that until he got down to ' 'The Arabian Nights' he had never cared greatly for the book, and has quite unashamedly 'codded ' the stories, trusting that the purist will not take him to task.
These broadcasts promise to be hilarious stuff, and in this opening ' Nightmare' you will meet Abu Hasan the Wag in the first of his adventures, all of which are based on a well-known story from 'Arabian Nights' Entertainments '.
Henry Reed , who has written the music for the series, did the same for 'Æsop's Fables ', ' Uncle Remus ', and numerous radio versions of fairy tales. He was assisted in practically all of them by producer David Porter.
The reconstruction of one of the most eventful submarine voyages in naval history
Written and produced by Stephen Potter
In the ordinary way a British submarine patrol may leave port and return with very little to report. This
'was not the case with the submarine
Salmon, which, in the course of a single fortnight, sighted and sank a German submarine, sighted but did not sink the liner Bremen, sighted the German Fleet, torpedoed two German cruisers, and was herself severely depth-charged before making her way home.
Potter has heen at great pains to present an authentic and accurate picture of these adventures, which will be re-enacted with the help and advice of the Commander and First Lieutenant of the Salmon, and with the co-operation of the Admiralty.
Divertimento No. 11, in D (K.251) played by The BBC Orchestra
(Section C)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Mozart uses the term Divertimento in much the same way as Serenade, which is an instrumental piece in several movements originally intended for performance in the open air. Mozart wrote about twenty-two divertimenti: some are for strings, some for wind, and some for both.
The No. I I., in D, composed in the summer of 1776 at his native Salzburg, is scored for one oboe, two horns, and strings, and is in six movements. Its melodies remind us of German folk songs, of a merry, rather than sentimental character.

Piano Quintet in F minor played by The Blech String Quartet:
Harry Blech (violin) ; Edward Silverman (violin) ; Douglas Thomp son (viola) ; William Pleeth (cello) and Margaret Good (piano)
Cesar Franck 's Piano Quintet was written in 1878 and first performed at a concert of the Société Nationale de Musique in January, 1880, with Saint-Saens as the pianist.
In three movements, the Piano
Quintet is the first of Franck's really mature works and exploits his method of cyclic construction. Like all his later works, it reflects his personal characteristics with extraordinary fidelity. His kindliness, idealism, mysticism, and sentimentality all find expression here.
