The Station Orchestra, conducted by Warwick Braithwaite
Wallace Cunningham (Entertainer)
In a May Medley

The Overture we are to hear, suggested by the old nursery rhyme of "The Butterfly's Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast", is delicately and daintily orchestrated, with many trills and flutterings on Flutes, light converse of the Woodwind and Strings, and so forth. There are suggestions, too, of the delicious languor of a summer's afternoon.
