Poulenc's ' Aubade ' was originally written in 1929 for a ballet in which the chief character was the goddess Diana. The scene was a forest glade at daybreak. Despite her protests Diana's attendants insist on adorning her; and filled with an indefinable longing, she leaves them and goes off into the forest. The composer, however, has insisted that when performed apart from the ballet the Concerto is to be regarded as a piece of absolute music. It consists of eight short sections, all of which are linked together: Toccata, Recitative, Rondo, Presto, Recitative, Andame, Allegro feroce, Conclusion. The instruments used in the score are a trumpet, drums, and two each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, violas, cellos, and double basses. Valerie Souderes, who is playing the solo part, is British by birth but has lived in Paris for some years; she studied at the Paris Conservatoire, where she won a number of important prizes.

Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Society aims to preserve for the public use all commons and village greens; also to protect the beauty and to promote the fullest enjoymmt by the public of National Parks and other open spaces. The Society also endeavours to preserve public Rights of Way over footpaths and bridlepaths. Local authorities and the public generally are advised on questions relating to any of the above, including problems arising out of the National Survey of footpaths at present being carried out.
The Society is financed partly from small membership fees which may be paid by local authorities or individuals, but about ã 1,000 a year is required in voluntary donations.

After her flight from Thornfield Hall and subsequent frantic wanderings, Jane Eyre -or Jane Elliott as she now termed herself -lay ill for many days at Marsh End. On recovering she made the acquaintance of the household; St. John remained cold and aloof but a happy intimacy arose between Jane and his sisters Diana and Mary. Expressing a desire to work for her living, Jane was g;ven the post of misitress at a girls* school recently established by St. John.
One day St. John revealed to his sisters that he had received a letter informing them of their Uncle John's death. Every penny of his fortune had been bequeathed, not to themselves as expected, but to his only other surviving relative.
Jane, installed in her two-roomed cottage, was visited by St John. She knew that he loved Rosamond Oliver, though he was aware that a girl so beautiful and wealthy could never become a missionary's wife. St. John's departure that day left Jane in some bewilderment. His manner had been full of suppressed excitement as he tore a slip of paper from a sheet on her drawing board.
The Sonata in D (K.S76), written in 1789 for Princess Friederike of Prussia, was Mozart's last piano sonata. Its opening theme, which like a trumpet-call, ushers in an Allegro movement notable for its brilliance and ingenuity. The Adagio, one of Mozart's loveliest pieces of piano-writing, is followed by an Allegretto in which tenderness and wit are combined.
Chopin was twenty wihen he composed the Nocturne in C sharp minor, though it was not published until some years after his death. He was twenty-one when, in 1831, he sketched his magnificent Ballade in G minor, completing it four years later. (Harold Rutland)
