3-A Secondary Modem School
Accompanied by recorders and plastic trumpets, 600 boys sing a hymn. The headmaster reads the notices and, to the sound of a Mozart concerto, the boys file off to their classrooms. So begins another day at school.
This is an attempt to portray a school through the events of its daily life, in the classroom, the staffroom, and on the playground.

in Elgar's Time
A personal reminiscence by Herbert Howells
On the second day of the Three Choirs Festival held this year at Worcester the distinguished composer recalls his earliest memories of the Festival, when Elgar was its dominant personality and The Dream of Gerontius had become a central work in each year's programme.
Herbert Howells, who knew Elgar well and has himself had several works commissioned for the Three Choirs, illustrates his talk with recorded excerpts of Elgar's music.
It is just sixty years ago this October that The Dream of Gerontius was first performed under Richter in Birmingham.
