Like so many other exponents of light music, Lionel Falkman had a classical training. His parents made sacrifices so that he could study the violin under Leopold Auer and Kalman Ronay , and at the age of seventeen he was musician enough to be first violin in the New Symphony
Orchestra under Landon Ronald and first violin in the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
His Apache Band specialises in the music typical of the Montmartre of happier days.

German was a true country-bred Englishman-he was born in 1862 at
Whitchurch, Shropshire. In his best and most characteristic work he brought to our cities', said Sir
Richard Terry , ' a breath of that changeless spirit of rural England that finds some answering echo in every British heart, however cosmopolitan its environment. That is what gives German's music its enduring charm. Its changeless English spirit keeps it as fresh with the young people of today as with the old folk of the 'nineties '.
One need recall only Germans incidental music to Henry VIII ana
Nell Gwyn and his opera Merrie
England to realise the truth of Terry's words.
3—The consecration of all life, by the Rev. Jack Winslow
for St. George's Day, 1941
In praise of courage-In praise of the countryside-In praise of liberty Arranged and produced by Laurence Gilliam from the works of William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Cobbett, John Masefield, G. K. Chesterton, J.B. Priestley, and others, and the music of Sir Edward Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst and others. On this day that is England's, here is a programme dedicated to England and all she stands for - the more stirring because English blood is being spilled this day on land and on the seas in defence of liberty
This English Pageant will unfold her glorious history; will tell of the English countryside, and of stirring deeds the round world over, of heroism shown at Dunkirk even as at Agincourt.
So the English Pageant will pass - a succession of men and things worthy to be remembered: soldiers statesmen, poets, cathedrals, and villages. A kaleidoscope of colour, rich and moving, progressing through the centuries with the unity of a common inheritance.

Eigar's Falstaff ' is a one-movement work divided into four main sections. The first, designed as a courtly and genial conversation with Prince Henry, shows us the knight in 'a green old age, frank, gay, corpulent, loose, unprincipled, and -luxurious '. The second takes us to the town, the tavern, and gay adventures, followed by the first of two interludes, scored for small orchestra, in which Falstaff dreams of his boyhood as a page to the Duke of Norfolk.
The third section shows Falstaff going off to the wars, followed by the second interlude, a quiet movement ' in Shallow's orchard '. The last section, an epilogue, begins as a triumphal march and ends with a picture of the tragic decay and death of the greatest and most lusty-hearted roisterer in literature.
