MODERN ENGLISH SONGS
Sung by JOHN THORNE (Baritone) Miscellaneous Songs:
BAX'S song is one of a set of five Irish pieces. The words of this one (by Joseph Campbell ) tell of the piper whose song seemed a part of the hills' melancholy. The accompaniment gives us a suggestion of the pipe'splaintive music.
Scott has taken a poem of Dowson, in villanelle form-nineteen lines with but two rhymes. The poet tells how, to make his tribute, he took ' her dainty eyes as well as silken tendrils of her hair,' ' her voice, a silver bell,' ' her whiteness virginal,' and ' stole her laugh most musical.'
The last song is a modern setting of those favouritelines from Tennyson's Maud, concerning an earlier setting of which (Balfe's) the poet said that the composer had made all the notes go up where lie (Tennyson) wanted them to go down, and down where lie wanted them to go up. Whether the listener agrees with that verdict on Balfe or not, he is pretty sure to admire the spirit of Somervell's music, its exhilaration and the rhapsodical note of the lover's urgent plea.
THE International Horse Show is always a feast of delights for anybody who enjoys seeing fine horses and fine riding of the military school. This year's Show is particularly interesting in that it will be the occasion of the first appearance in England of the men and horses of the Imperial Riding School of Vienna. This school-one of the few relics of Imperial Austria that survives-has been in existence for over three centuries, and the breed has been maintained with extraordinary success all that time.
The men are trained for a minimum of ten years, and the horses themselves receive a training unparalleled in any other part of the world. Lieut.-Col. MeTaggart who broadcast a talk on the Show last year, is one of the laading authorities on horses, and he has personal experience of the Vienna School.

THIS is the last of Mr. Valentine's talks on holidays in Britain, and in it he will describe one of the most beautiful parts of the country-the region between the Severn and the Usk, where England and Wales 'meet; where the lovely scenery of the Wye Valley competes in interest with the historic buildings, such as Tintern Abbey, Hereford Cathedral, and Ludlow Castle, in which this country is so rich.
