Interpreted by SOLOMON
Berceuse ; Barcarolle
THE Cradle Song is a little marvel of delicacy and sweetness. On two bass chords only
(with one other chord used for an instant, near the end) Chopin balances a dainty rocking tune, the airiest, sweetest little lullaby imaginable.
Chopin's Barcarolle (the only piece ho wrote in this style) has a good deal of the spirit of his Nocturnes, but is longer than most of those night-pieces.

THIS is the first performance of our English
National Dances to bo given by the English
Folk Dance Society in the Royal Albert Hall. It takes its name from the Festival which is being held on the previous day and which was inaugurated last year, to give folk dancers from all parts of England an opportunity of meeting and showing their dancipg to each other.
. The performance has been organized to enable members of the public to measure and appreciate the deep-rooted interest that is now taken in our English songs and dances.
The dancers taking part at the Albert Hall number nearly 500 and they represent thirty-two of the forty-five existing branches of this Society that cover England. They are all amateurs, culled from every section and class of Society, who have taken up the dancing for pure pleasure and who will dance at this performance to share their pleasure with others.
General singing of folk songs (by both performers and public), which has formed an integral part of the Society's activities for the last fifteen years, will take place during the performance.
