DEBUSSY'S Little Suite was originally' written for Piano Duct, then arranged
(by another hand) for Orchestra. It is one of his earlier compositions.
Boating, the first piece in the set, begins in the gentle, swaying style of a Barcarolle, and has a middle section of a stronger, more rhythmic character. After it, the opening matter is repeated.
The Second piece is entitled Procession.
After a rather deliberately-moving march tune has been treated, there is a middle section, in what may be called a refined rag-time manner. Then the tune of tho opening march returns, combined with that of the middle section.
Tho third piece is a graceful Minuet.
Lastly there is a Ballet, a lively, very rhythmic dance, with a fine climax.
STEWART MACPHERSON is a musician who abandoned the career of a composer for that of an educational worker. and in this field he has exercised a very wide influence. It will be pleasant to meet him as a creative artist. His compositions include a Symphony, it Concerto, two Overtures, and other works for orchestra, a Mass, songs and pianoforte pieces.

Read by Mr. Robert Harris
After Chaucer and before the great Elizabethans there came a string of lesser poets - considerable enough on their own account - and anonymous lyricists who produced some poetry that is well worth its place in any anthology.
This afternoon's reading will include poems by Dunbar, Surrey, and Wyatt, who will be represented by the famous 'Forget not yet.'

WRITING to his friend and benefactor,
Madame von Meek , In 1880,
Tchaikovsky said that his Muse had been very benevolent, for ho .had written two long works very rapidly. One was the' 1812' Overture, of which he said, ' It has no great artistic value ' ; the other was the Serenade in C (his Op. 48), which, he says,
' on the contrary, I wrote from an inward impulse ; I felt it.' It was one of tho works he conducted in London in 1888, when he was paying his first visit to this country.
The Serenade contains four Movements, of which wo are to hear two, a Waltz, and a Finale based on folk-tunes, one a hauling song of the Volga boatmen, and the other a street song.
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS ' Suite contains six
Movements: (1) Prelude, (2) Slow Dance,
(3) Quick Dance, (4) Slow Air, (5) Rondo), (6) Pezzo Ostinato, in which the opening tune persists.
