THE MODERN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: Conducted by STANLEY CHAPPLE.
Part I. HOLBERG is looked upon as the founder of modem Danish literature. The bicentenary of his birth occurred in 1884, and Grieg, as his contribution to the celebration, composed a Pianoforte Suite, From Holberg's Day. This he afterwards arranged for String Orchestra. Holberg was a contemporary of Bach and Handel, and Grieg's music reminds us of the fact very pleasantly. There are five Movements: a Prelude very much in Bach's manner; a graceful Sarabande (one of the dances that made up the Suite in former days); then a charming Gavotte, followed by a melodiously reflective Air, and finally a jovial Bigaudon. Moderato; Scherzo; Finale

Part II. LITERALLY, 'A Little Night Music,' the title of Mozart's work is often translated as ' Serenade.' It is simply a collection of four delightful separate pieces, a kind of little symphony, but light as air, gay as the summer eveningo for which it was written.
It is scored for a String Orchestra.
I. Quick. The lively First Main Tune starts at once in all instruments in octaves. It continues to some length, mostly in First Violins.
After a general flourish and a full stop, the Second Main Tune arrives. This is really in several little parts, which all follow one another with perfect naturalness. It starts with a mincing fragment of Tune in Violins in octaves, which the Second Violins repeat, while the First Violins hop about above ; then the Bass assorts itself; and so on. Soon we reach the end of the paragraph (so to speak). This first part is marked to be repeated, but that is sometimes thought superfluous nowadays.
The second part begins with a very brief discussion of bits of the two main tunes ; then proceeds to repeat the first part almost unchanged. With another general flourish, the piece ends. (The second part may also be repeated).
II. The second movement is called a Romance. It is a rather stately, thoughtful piece, mostly plainly tuneful.
III. Thi3 is a swinging, rhythmical Minuet, followed by a smooth Trio (or Second Minuet). After the Trio the Minuet is repeated.
IV. The Finale is a Rondo-a piece which owes its origin to a lively dance in which one tune comes round time after time.
This particular Rondo is fleeting speed itself, suggesting the most wing-footed of dancers.

Cyril Scott: Water Wagtail ; Chinese Serenade; Two Pierrot Pieces
Cyril Scott, born in Cheshire forty-seven years ago, spent some time studying composition at Frankfurt, where he had as fellow - pupils Percy Grainger, Norman O'Neill and Roger Quilter.
When he was nineteen his Symphony was produced at Darmstadt; but later the composer destroyed it because he considered it immature. Since those days he has written largely in many forms - an Opera, a Concerto, a Ballet, Orchestral works, Chamber Music, Piano Pieces and songs. He has long been interested in Eastern philosophy and mysticism, writing in the Occult Review and lecturing to the Theosophical Society upon these subjects. He has published poetry, besides a book on the Philosophy of Modernism and a volume of reminiscences, "My Years of Indiscretion."
He was among the pioneers in the use of new harmonic resources, with his use of which he astonished some easy-going musicians in the nineties and the early years of the present century; but he has never been an extreme 'modernist,' and most of his music is easy enough to follow.
In "Water Wagtail" you can almost see the bird in undulating flight, or making his little darting rushes along the ground, frequently wagging his long tail.
The "Chinese Serenade" is one of many Eastern pictures. It is the East seen through European eyes, imaginatively and half humorously.
