A Light Orchestral Concert

Relayed from the National Museum of Wales

National Orchestra of Wales

The complete Children's Corner Suite, which Debussy dedicated 'To my dear little Chouchou, with her father's tender excuses for what follows', contains six pieces: (1) Doctor Gradus ad Parnassus; (2) Jimbo's Lullaby; (3) Serenade for the Doll; (4) The Snow is dancing; (5) The Little Shepherd; (6) Golliwog's Cakewalk.

The Mastersingers, Wagner's one comedy, is for many people the best work he ever wrote.
The Prelude to Act III belongs to the tenderer moods of the work. It introduces the scene in which the poet-philosopher-cobbler, Hans Sachs, sits at his window, reading and meditating in the glow of the sun of midsummer morning, upon the life and the strife of men.

During the war between Turkey and Serbia in 1876, the great Russian pianist,
Nicholas Rubinstein, brother of the still more famous Anton Rubinstein, organized a charity concert for the relief of the wounded, and for the occasion Tchaikovsky, who was enthusiastic for the Slavonic cause, wrote this Slavonic March, which, in fact, he sometimes called a 'Russo-Serbian' March.
The opening of the March is very sombre, 'in the manner of a funeral March'. Later, the Russian National Hymn is heard, and the whole ends brilliantly and joyously.
