The story of ' Sadko ' is that of the minstrel of Novgorod who is carried off by the Sea King's daughter and sets the whole submarine kingdom dancing to his music (thus causing an appalling storm on the surface of the ocean).
Rimsky-Korsakov's ' programme' is very simple and concise: Calm sea -Sadko's descent into the depths of the ocean-the Sea King's feast (Sadko's dance tune growing wilder and wilder as the storm arises)-calm sea as at the beginning. Incidentally, Rimsky-Korsakov used the themes of this early orchestral piece in his opera Sadko, composed twenty-eight years later.

With lyrics by Gordon Crier

Music and production by Michael North

Here is a story unfolding backwards. It opens with a murder. Jimmy Grant, arriving for a week-end with his friend, Warren Hewitt, finds him dead, with a gramophone record of a song Jimmy has written, still mysteriously playing in the room. Then back to Colombo, to a ball there, where Jimmy writes the lyric to the tune being played by the dance band. Hewitt is present, and also Clare Bennett with a silent stranger. In further flash-backs we learn who the stranger is and the part. he plays. And so back to the very end, which is the very beginning, when we see the murderer arrested.

The ingenious idea and form of this play comes from Michael North, who has accompanied Davy Burnaby in many an entertaining programme on the air.

Tonight's Gaelic programme is on the theme of the bagpipes, perhaps the most traditional of Scottish musical instruments. The pipe band of a famous Scottish regiment will come to the studio from their station somewhere in Scotland and provide the greater part of the programme. Prose and poetry readings in Gaelic in praise of the pipes will be included, and also a few songs. Some of the songs to be sung date back to the MacCrimmons, who were the master pipers of Scotland and were attached to the household of MacLeod of Dunvegan.
