The first movement portrays his early days-his love of art, romantic disposition, and yearnings. The second suggests memories of his gay youth. The third ' recalls the bliss of my first love for a girl who afterwards became my faithful wife ', and the fourth depicts the joy of creating a national music, but ends on a sad note, a glimpse into the melancholy future and the beginning of his deafness.

Cuirm chiuil Ie 6rain a dh' iarradh leis an luchd eisdeachd
(A Gaelic musical programme)
Here is another of these tuneful little programmes that are delighting not only those who speak ' the tongue' but also many Sassenachs who have learnt to appreciate the lovely melodies of these traditional tunes. One of the most enthusiastic listeners to them, incidentally, is Davy Burnaby.
Tonight's programme consists of request numbers that have been received in listeners' letters, and it includes some of the best of the traditional Gaelic airs. Even those who do not understand the language will be able to appreciate the songs.
