The ' 'Clock' symphony (No. 101, in D) played by the BBC Northern Orchestra
Leader, Laurance Turner
Conductor, Gideon Fagan
Haydn's Symphony No. 101, in D, ' The Clock', ', was one of the twelve symphonies that the composer wrote for his London visits towards the end of his life. The whole atmosphere of the music is one of gaiety and charm. Note the accompaniment to the sprightly theme of the slow movement and you will immediately understand why the symphony is known as ' The Clock '. This movement is followed by a vigorous minuet.

A light comedy in one act by Noel Coward
Produced by John Cheatle
Published last year with works by twenty-four other famous authors, in a St. Bartholomew's Hospital Gift Book entitled 'Rose Window', Noel Coward's Star Chamber was first broadcast in May, 1940. The proceeds of this were devoted to the re-building fund of the Hospital, and the Actors' Orphanage.
Star Chamber is a piece of characteristic Coward effervescence, and few should fail to laugh at the feckless chatter of Xenia James.

Devil's Trill Sonata played by Frederick Grinke
Tartini, that great eighteenth-century violinist, had a somewhat disturbed youth, for he was driven from his native Padua on account of a secret marriage. He took refuge in a monastery at Assisi, worked hard at fiddling, and when he could safely return to Padua built up a noted school of violin playing.
He wrote some eighteen concertos and fifty or sixty violin sonatas. Perhaps the most famous of the sonatas is the ' Devil's Trill' Sonata, said to have been composed after a dream in which the Devil, having entered into a compact to serve the composer, played him a marvellous solo on the violin.
and his Band with Harry Davis featuring Beryl Davis , Diane, Bob Dale , Jan Zalski (famous Polish tenor), and Eddie Palmer with his novachord
