A feature programme written by Islwyn Williams
Produced by P. H. Burton
On April 11, 1877, in the bad days of inadequate safety precautions, a great flood of water broke into the workings of the Tynewydd Colliery in the Rhondda Valley. It led to a dramatic story of rescue unsurpassed in the whole history of coal mining. This programme reconstructs the story as a tribute to the abiding courage and comradeship of our miners.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
(Leader, Paul Beard)
Conducted by Roger Desormiere
Debussy wrote two sets of Images ' for piano and one for orchestra. Of the three pieces that comprise the orchestral set,
'Iberia ' and ' Rondes de Printemps ' were composed between 1906 and 1909, and ' Gigues ' (the orchestration of which was completed by Andre Caplet ) between 1909 and 1912. The last-named, which now opens the suite, was originally called ' Gigues tristes ' and was intended to give an impression of our own country. 'Iberia,' outstandingly brilliant and colourful, won a tribute from no less an authority on Spanish music'than Manuel de Falla; it consists of three movements, ' In highways and byways,' ' Fragrance of the night,' and ' Festival morning.' Into ' Rondes de Printemps,' an evocation of France, Debussy introduced the melody ' Nous n'irons plus au bois,' which he also made use of in the piano piece ' Jardins sous la pluie.' Harold Rutland
