Radio play by P. H. Burton , produced by T: Rowland Hughes
The story of a little man ' in this war, a colliery clerk in a Welsh mining town, who kept the noiseless tenour of his way almost unnoticed. Those who spoke of him did so with pity or amusement, little suspecting his essential nobility and courage. Then came the war-a time of testing for the millions of little men', whose deeds remain unsung.

Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Rimsky-Korsakov's ' Antar ' is one of a number of works showing the composer's fascination for Oriental colour. It was completed in 1868, but was revised and re-orchestrated three times. On the last occasion the composer changed its title of Second Symphony to Symphonic Suite. In a letter he said it ' was a poem, suite, legend, anything you like, but not a symphony '. That is obvious by its form, which consists of four freely worked out pieces depicting the story of the Arabian romance by Scnnkovsky.
