Conductor, Gideon Fagan
Haydn
Nocturne for flute, oboe, horns, and strings
The title. Nocturne (Notturno), for this work is to be taken not in the essentially romantic sense as used by Chopin, but as a piece usually played at night, of a quiet, gentle character. In form, however, the classical nocturne differed little from the serenade, cassation, and early symphony. Haydn's Nocturne to be played this afternoon is the only one he wrote for this group of instruments, but he has written several for the hurdy-gurdy.

by John Hilton
A serving soldier who died of wounds at Etaples in 1916 left a legacy which provided the financial basis for the National Council of Social Service, formed just twenty-one years ago to encourage voluntary work of all kinds.
Tonight John Hilton will talk about the service which every citizen can give through his voluntary organisation whether Allotments Society, Women's Institute, Sports Club, British Legion, or one of the hundred other groups which are part of the richness and variety of our national life.
