This listing contains language that some may find offensive.

Many modern musical compositions have points of great similarity to much older works. Frequently these resemblances are intended; some syncopated and other music is a direct and friendly burlesque of its forerunners. In other cases, the likeness is probably quite unconsciously made.

In this programme a number of these "resemblances" will be given, the older music being played by the Wireless Orchestra, under the direction of Percy Pitt, and its modern counterpart by Radio Radiance Orchestra, under Stanley Holt.
