Anthony Bernard with his London Chamber Orchestra has often earned the gratitude of listeners by presenting fine old music which had been forgotten until he brought it again to the light of day. He begins this programme with such a piece, composed by an Englishman whose name is unknown at the present day to all but enthusiasts on behalf of such buried treasure. Peter Warlock, who has arranged it for modern concert use, is another to whom the present day is indebted for the fine use which he makes of his musicianship in resurrects such melodious old music. Charles Avison was a native of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and was born somewhere about 1710. He learned his art in Italy, which accounts for his preference for Italian music, notably that of his master Geminiani, and for his professed lack of interest in the great Handel. None the less, his pieces have something in common with Handel's, as listeners may hear for themselves in this Concii. It is one of no fewer than sixty-four which he published in his lifetime, along with eighteen sonatas for strings
with harpsichord. Avison, after his Italian studies, became organist of St. Nicholas Church, in Newcastle - now the Cathedral; had he lived in London instead of at a distance, which was then so much greater than now, his music might well have
held the place to which its originality and beauty entitle it.
Villa-Lobos was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1890 and has taken keen interest in the native music of his own country. He spent some years travelling all through it, taking down the strange, weird music of the Indians, but, though his own work is naturally influenced by that intimate knowledge of a very unusual idiom, it is all as original as anything which the present day has given us, as audacious in its departures, from
tradition as anything in modern Europe. He tells us that the Choros presents in a new form something of the different features of Brazilian native music, having for its foundation very strong definite rhythm, allied to typical popular melody. But all the material is treated freely, in the composer's own individual manner. He suggests that 'Serenade' might give some idea of the meaning of Chores.
