Festival march
Symphonic variations on an original theme played by the BBC Orchestra
Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Clarence Raybould

Dvorak's Symphonic Variations were originally composed in 1877 and numbered Op. 40, then apparently forgotten for ten years even by the composer himself. They were resuscitated and revised in 1887 and sent to Richter, who produced them in London in May of that year.

After the performance the conductor wrote to the composer: 'I cannot remember a novelty having such a great success at any concert I have conducted'.

5.45 'Food for thought'
A talk by A.W. Ling, Agricultural Adviser to the University of Bristol
There is a twofold meaning in the title of this talk. No longer can we afford to have trampled-down crops, damaged hayricks, broken hedges, or slashed trees. These things, and others such as shutting farm and field gates to prevent cattle straying, should be the vital concern of all good citizens - children, men, and women. You can help to keep the countryside in good order as part of the war effort. Here, indeed, is 'food for thought'.

Moiseiwitsch and Orchestra

From the Royal Albert Hall, London

Benno Moiseiwitsch is one of the most distinguished pianists living. He was only nine years old when he won the Rubinstein prize for piano playing as a pupil of the Imperial Academy of Music in his native city of Odessa. He stayed there for five years, later going to Vienna under Leschetizky. He played at his first Queen's Hall concert in London in 1909, and scored the first success of many that have endeared him to his public over here.

The last talk in a series on the twenty Republics that lie between the United States and Cape Horn

Philip Guedella who so brilliantly introduced this series in April with the two initial talks is now to wind it up. This great authority on Latin America has been head of the Latin-American section of the Ministry of Information since 1940 and was actually in Latin America at the outbreak of the present war.

His broadcast this evening - his fourth in the series - will be a summing-up of the series as a whole and will deal with the past, present, and future of the Latin-American countries and with their position in the world

A special programme to commemorate the National day of the French Republic by Andre Varanguien and Robert Kemp
Produced by Robert Kemp
On July 14, 1789, the Bastille fell and a great blow was struck for the liberty not only of France but of the whole modern world. Today the Germans are attempting to rebuild the Bastille in almost every country of Europe. In France before this war the Fete National was celebrated by military parades, and by dancing in the streets in the evening. This programme will try to conjure up what July 14 means to the normal citizens of France, and how much that is precious to the whole world is symbolised by the day.
Under the name of Andre Varaguien is hidden the identity of a distinguished French writer, now in this country.
