If nationality in music counts for anything at all, then Warlock counts for a great deal, for his songs are imbued with the very essence of the spirit of England, both his technique and his highly original idiom being firmly based on the great traditions of the Tudor period. In short, he is one of the most English of English composers.

Julian Huxley and Collin Brooks
Julian Huxley , who is to talk to listeners with Collin Brooks in this notable series today, is probably our best-known biologist and one of our most distinguished men of science. Author of innumerable books, lecturer, broadcaster, Secretary to the Zoological Society of London (or the London Zoo) since 1935, he is perhaps even better known for his superlative work in supervising the filming of birds-for instance, that perfect picture, The Life Story of ' the Gannet.
