Kneale Kelley has as long an association with the BBC and broadcasting as any figure in music. He was leader of the original Wireless Orchestra; later he became leader of the Theatre Orchestra, then conductor of the BBC Variety Orchestra.

Kelley took part in the first broadcast of the late Sir Edward Elgar's music, conducted by the composer, and in the first all-Delius programme ever broadcast. Since leaving the BBC he has been Music Director of the Municipal Orchestras at Eastbourne and Scarborough. Last year he went to Buxton. When not working there he is a tireless worker for ENSA, acting in an advisory capacity as well as touring the various Commands with his own orchestra.

Louis Kentner (piano). BBC Symphony Orchestra (leader, Paul Beard ) : conductor, Sir Adrian Boult

Programme of poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, presented by Stephen Potter .
Tennyson was one of the very few Laureates who could, for state occasions, write poems ' to order ' with an inspiration which has made them outlive their topical origin.

BBC Symphony Orchestra (leader, Paul Beard ) : conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Written early in 1910 as a loyal tribute to King Edward VII , Elgar's Second Symphony was afterwards dedicated to his memory. It is prefaced by the first two lines of Shelley's poem : ' Rarely, rarely, comest thou. Spirit of Delight ', and though Elgar's music has no intention of following the whole poem closely, it is no doubt born of the idea set forth in these two lines. The first movement is built up on groups of themes, rather than on single tunes, and the impetuous opening suggests the Spirit of Delight itself.
The slow movement begins with some suggestion of a solemn march, and parses to other principal themes in the same dignified mood. The third movement takes the place of the 'usual Scherzo, and although th-re is a broad melody in a more serious vein at one point, it is for the most part vivacity which prevails. The last movement, too, begins happily, and again passes to a noble and massive melody played on the full orchestra.
