Mr. Percy Scholes, the B.B.C. Music Critic
Nobody in the world of modern music has more interests and wider activities than Mr. Scholes. In addition to his work as music critic to the B.B.C. and musical adviser to The Radio Times, he edits one of the largest series of pianola records produced in this country. He has been music critic to the Evening Standard and, until quite recently, to the Observer; he founded and edited the Music Student and Youth and Music, and his books on broadcast, gramophone and pianola music are familiar to all who obtain their music in these democratic ways.

Ich trage meine Minne (I bear my Love in Silence), Op. 32
Befreit (Freed), Op. 39
O Susser Mai (O Lovely May), Op. 32
Wiegenlied (Cradle Song), Op. 41
Ich trage meine Minne is unlike most of Strauss's love-songs. It is simple-minded music, with a bright, clear melody. The first verse (which recurs at the end) might have been taken from a volume of German folk-songs.
Befreit is a song of consolation to one who is bound for the 'land o' the leal,' whither the other is soon to follow. The music is finely elaborated and contains some passages of striking harmonic texture.
O Susser Mai - 'O sweet May, bless us when we confess our love' - is a modern interpretation of the spirit, and much of the musical style, of Mendelssohn's 'Songs Without Words.' The running accompaniment takes some liberties that would be quite out of the question in Mendelssohn's day, and so does the voice part, but nevertheless there is a resemblance.
Wiegenlied has the essentials of a typical lullaby, viz., the usual words, a rocking accompaniment and a suggestion of artistic scarcity.
