Rossini had wonderful success with his Operas, but after the production of William Tell in 1859, he composed no Opera and only one important work of any kind, his Stabat Mater.
For nearly forty years he lived as a retired gentleman, occupying himself in social diversions. In all this time he wrote only some light pieces, mostly for Piano, and it was largely out of these that Respighi, an Italian Composer of to-day (born 1879) made the music for the toyshop Ballet known as La Boutique Fantasque. The Ballet Music is that danced by the various dolls in the shop, who come to life and take a hand in the love-romance of two of their number. In this Selection the items are a Cossack dance, a Nocturne, a Polish Mazurka, an Italian Tarantella, a slow Waltz, a Can-can, and a concluding Galop.

Overture to 'Raymond' - Thomas

A Welsh celebration of St Valentine's Day.
'Erbyn dydd bolantau
Cawn wyau gan y gwyddau'

Until nearly the close of the nineteenth century, the custom of sending Valentines was fairly general and very popular in Wales. They were sent on St. Valentine's Day, because of the old idea that the birds began to mate on that day, hence the practice of young people choosing their Valentines on the same day.

'Yn dewis y mae'r adar
Yn awr bob un ei gymar.
Un, un ddewisaf finnau
A hon wyt ti, lliw'r blodau.'

Entertainers in A Laugh or Two, A Song or Two, A Joke or Two, by A Bob or Two

Bob Adams and Bob Alden, who are prominent among the originators and demonstrators of the present craze for syncopation, begin a week's engagement with the B.B.C. to-day.
Seventeen years ago, when they first came to this country, their particular form of entertainment was practically unknown. Before they came together, the two Bobs were both song writers. At Atlantic City (the Blackpool of the U.S.A.), where songs are made famous overnight, these two artists met. They were both engaged in demonstrating their own particular songs and there sprang up an intimate acquaintance. One night they appeared together in one of the popular cabarets-and they have been together ever since, with ever-increasing success.
