Schumann's Spanish song-cycle was written in 1849, which Schumann himself speaks of as his 'most fruitful year'. It was certainly one of the happiest years of his life, during which he turned out some of his finest music. The words of the Spanish song-cycle, which describe a romantic love story, were selected from a book of translations of popular Spanish ballads that have also inspired several other great German song composers, such as Brahms, Cornelius, and Wolf.

' More eggs on less food
Alan Thompson
Alan Thompson , who has been editor of The Feathered World for the last eight years, has never given up poultry-keeping. On his forty acres in Sussex he has about 300 hens, and he feeds them himself before going to work every morning.
In today's talk Thompson will suggest how the small poultry-keeper can maintain his egg supply on a very restricted ration and even rear some replacement chicks.

Thomas Tallis lived almost throughout the sixteenth century, and was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal under Henry VIII and still in Queen Elizabeth's reign. Vaughan Williams 's sympathy with, and his profound knowledge of the music of that period make him peculiarly well fitted to revive Tallis's tune in a modern setting. However, the simple eloquence of the old melody is preserved in all its own purity.
Composed for the Gloucester
Festival of 1910, the Fantasia was played there for the first time.
