'The golden hoof' by J. F. H. Thomas and A. G. Street
In a recent speech at Dorchester the Minister of Agriculture made a significant reference to the connection between an arable flock of sheep and the fertility of our light lands. A. G. Street has also championed the cause of the down-land flock and, like J. F. H. Thomas , was brought up in the Hampshire Downs tradition. The latter, until he commenced farming on his own account just before the war, was Vice-Principal of the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester and acknowledged at the time to be a high authority on sheep matters...

He has played on the Continent, in America and South Africa, at Westminster Abbey, and in many of the cathedrals in England. On June 16, 1934, with Sir Walter Alcock and G. D. Cunningham , he opened the BBC concert organ.

Leader, Paul Beard
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Introduction and Allegro for string quartet and string orchestra.....Elgar La mer (The sea) Three symphonic sketches: From dawn to noon at sea ; Play of the waves ; and Dialogue of the wind and the sea
Debussy
Elgar's Introduction and Allegro was composed in January- February, 1905. It owed its origin to the hearing of a song, with a particularly attractive cadence of a falling third, sung in the distance on an occasion when Elgar was in Wales. Later a song heard in the Wye valley recalled his Welsh experience with the result that he set to work on this Introduction and Allegro, the principal tune of which is a pseudo-Welsh tune of his own invention, complete with the cadence of a falling third.

by Stephen Potter ,.with Betty Hardy as Mrs. S. T. Coleridge
Other characters appearing in the programme are : S. T. Coleridge , her husband ; Sara Hopkinson , her daughter ; William Wordsworth , Dorothy Wordsworth ,
Robert Southey , and Mr. Poole Stephen Potter 's connection with Coleridge belongs to "his pre-war days, when he specialised on the Romantics, and on Coleridge in particular. There came his way a bundle of Mrs. Coleridge's letters to a friend. These were printed under the title of ' Minnow among Tritons '—a rather pathetic book, which is the subject of this production.
