A comedy by James Bridie
Scene: A Glasgow boarding-house
This short one-act play brings to listeners the art of James Bridie in his lightest and most farcical vein. The Tragic Muse is a brilliant piece of nonsense treated in a slightly impressionistic manner. This is its first broadcast performance in the Home Service, although it was included in a recent 'Scottish Omnibus' programme for Overseas.

Overture: The Desert Island
Symphony No. 103, in E flat (Drum Roll)
played by BBC Orchestra (Section C)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Haydn's Symphony No. 103, in E flat (The Drum Roll) is the eighth of the series of symphonies written for Salomon in London, and is one of the most original of the twelve, both in form and in matter. Like most of Haydn's symphonies, the 'Drum Roll', which owes its name to the fact that the first movement opens with a roll of the timpani, is full of high spirits.

Quartet in G, Op. 106

Beatrice Carrelle (violin)
John Yewe Dyer (viola)
Ivor James (cello)
Dvorak began the G major Quartet in 1895 soon after his return from America. He was overjoyed at finding himself once more amid familiar scenes, and his joy found full expression in two magnificent quartets, this one and that in A flat, Op. 105. 'These quartets', writes Ottokar Sourek, 'are the swan songs of Dvorak's chamber music, which reaches its zenith in these two compositions... The first two movements of the G major Quartet belong to the greatest things which ever came from Dvorak's pen'.
