Wynford Reynolds, founder of the famous Wyoford Reynolds Octet, won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied for six years before joining the original Queen's Hall Orchestra. This was in 1922. Seven years later he formed his Octet, which, with its signature tune ' A Cocktail of Happiness', began broadcasting in 1934 and was a popular radio combination for some years.
Reynolds was invited to join the BBC in order to organise the ' Music While You Work programmes, in which he has already used about 160 different combinations, and to the perfecting of which he has given endless research.

Elgar wrote of his symphonic study ' Falstaff ' that he wished the word study ro be taken in its literary use and meaning, and therefore the music was intended io be a study of the character of Falstaff. Tht work, which is in one movement with two interludes, falls into four main sections that are continuous : (1) Falstaff and Prince Henry : (2) Eastcheap — Gadshill — The Boar's Head. revelry and sleep ; (3) Falstaff's March-The return through Gloucestershire-The new King-The hurried ride to London : (4) King Henry V's progress-The repudiation of Falstaff, and his death.
Some lines from Shakespeare's plays are occasionally placed under the themes to indicate the mood of the music, but, Elgar says, it is not intended that the meaning of the music, often varied and intensified, ' shall be narrowed to a corollarv of these Quotations only *.
