'Les Amours de Ronsard,* which is dedicated to the memory of Debussy, comprises settings of four poems by the ' prince of poets ' (as Ronsard was called by his contemporaries in France), belonging to the years 1555-6. The first is in praise of the rose; the second takes the form of a dialogue between Ronsard and a dove who laments the loss of his mate; the third is a description of a hawthorn* tree; the last is in praise of the nightingale.
Both the Divertimenti in this evening's programme admirably suggest that their chief function is to divert or to entertain the listener. The one by Mozart belongs to the year 1772, when he was sixteen. Lennox Berkeley's, which was commissioned by the BBC, was written in 1942 and dedicated to Nadia Boulanger.

Victor Platt. Ronald Sidney , David Kossoff , Stanley Groome , and Hugh Manning
Produced by Frederick Bradnum
John Kemp , having with Seraphina's assistance escaped in a rowing boat from his captivity in the ship carrying O'Brien aqd the Riegos back to Cuba, manages to get aboard an English vessel the Breeze. Lying becalmed off the town of Rio Medio, she is suddenly attacked by the Lugarenos or pirates of the bay, led by Tomas Castro. Kemp is overpowered and carried off. From Castro he learns that the Riegos were put ashore at the Rio Medio but that O'Brien has gone on in the ship to Havana.
Kemp meets for the first time a strange and sinister character named Manuel-del-Popolo, a crazy singer and guitarist. Taken by Castro to the bedside of Don Carlos-who now lies dying in the Casa Riego-John learns at last the truth of what has been puzzling him for so long-that Carlos has used the pirates for the first and only time to prevent Kemp from going to Havana where O'Brien is awaiting his arrival.
