Overture to the Ball
At twenty-eight, when he wrote this Overture, Sullivan had already achieved a fine command both of the Orchestra and of that knack of writing gay tunes that has endeared him to us all. He wrote few pieces more spirited than this, even in the Comic Operas-and that is saying a good deal.
After a short Introduction, there begins a very rhythmical, leaping dance-tune (started by the First Violins-chief accompaniment. Horns). This tune holds sway for some time, being given to most instruments in turn, including Flute and Piccolo. Later, there follow several waltz-tunes. Towards the end, the dancers break into a Galop.

A Play in Two Acts by Vivian Tidmarsh.
Played by the Station Radio Players

How to crush the pirate gangs that hide among the islands round the Chinese coast is the problem confronting the Consular Service, with their meagre patrol of two destroyers for every 500 miles of water. Force of arms being out of the question, an exceptionally cunning plan is needed to defeat the highly-organized, well-informed pirates, and their terrifying leader, Ah Foo. Fortunately, by means of the deepest secrecy (even the captain of the English vessel is kept in ignorance), such a plot is concocted, which is designed to outwit and lure to destruction the Pirate King himself.
