ANNA FILIPOVA (Soprano)
Richard FORD (Baritone)
THE CHARLES TRIMEY SEXTET
SIR HUBERT PARRY
(1848-1918) left us no fewer than twelve books of English Lyrics, and many people rank some of these among the classics of song. These three come from the Sixth Set of the Lyrics. The first, a setting of a translation from the Welsh, tells how, when Gwen comes, ' more glorious the sun in heaven appeareth,' ' the tree-tops bow down to earth to greet her,' and ' her loving eyes ... point the way to heaven.'
Next comes a delicate setting of a well-known poem from Thomas Ford
Music of Sundry Kinds (1607), each verse of which ends ' And yet I love her till I die.'
A Lover's Garland is a graceful song with verses from the Greek, by that famous lyric-writer, Alfred Perceval Graves. ' I'm weaving sweet violets ... Frail narcissus ... for Heliodora's brow.'

THE incidental music that
Bizet wrote to Daudet's play of Provençal life is by now very familiar to listeners. It will be recalled that the four pieces in the Second Suite are respectively entitled Pastoral, Intermezzo, Minuet, and Farandolethe last, in the play, being a chorus sung in praise of St. Eloi. It introduces, after the march- like introduction, an old Provencal soug and dance tune.
