From a concert hall in the South
One of the most charming of Hoist's orchestral works is the Somerset Rhapsody '. It was written in 1906 at the request of Cecil Sharp, to whom it is dedicated, but it was rewritten in the following year and first performed in 1910. The work is founded on three Somerset folk songs collected by Cecil Sharp 'SheepShearingSong','HighGermany'. and ' The Lovers' Farewell '.
Ernst von Dohnanyi's ' Variations on a Nursery Song ' is very characteristic of the composer's brilliant and individual style. The charming and simple theme (' Ah vous dirai-je, Maman ') is subjected to a series of variations that are as imaginative in treatment as they are full of contrast in colour. Furthermore, the music has many touches of humour, notably the final cadence ending on a low bassoon note.
The work is dedicated * To the enjoyment of lovers of humour and to the annoyance of others '.

Ivor Gurney, one of the greatest of English song-writers, died in 1937. He had been wounded, gassed, and shell-shocked in the last war, and later poverty and failure to win recognition helped to ruin his health. Yet critics now acknowledge that his best songs are sure of revival. One of them, ' Severn Meadows , written and composed in France in 1917, is so beautiful that it is enough to establish Gurney's claim to rank among our finest song-writers. Poet as well as composer, his Elizabethan songs have a rare and moving beauty.
