THE WIRELESS ORCHESTRA, conducted by JOHN ANSELL

THE WIRELESS ORCHESTRA
Conducted by JOHN ANSELL (First performance of a new suite by a com poser whose works have established themselves as among the best contemporary light music ') (Leo Peter is a young writer whose admittedly light music deftly combines delicacy of touch and distinction of fancy with ' popularity') Cracker Dance: A Prim Gavotte : Country
Dance (The characters in ' The Tale of a Shoe,' libretto by Rodney Bennett, are all well-known nursery rhyme figures, the shoe itself being that formerly occupied by the Old Woman, but in the play taken over by Mother Hubbard as the premises for a Boarding-school. The Cracker Dance takes place in a Christmas Party ; the Prim Gavotte is a dance by Polly Flinders upon the discovery that she is really a Princess ; the Country Dance is a general jollification. The work is scored for a chamber orchestra, percussion, and piano) (A new work by a composer whose work ineducational music is known to young and old alike, and whose more serious work, of which this is a recent example, is always interesting) Conducted by the Composer

The first soft beginnings of the day's crescendo of noise.)
