(Lunch Score)
Relayed from Lord's
(Continued)
Sport, speed on the road and in the air, and the departure of a giant liner on her maiden voyage, are the open-air thrills captured by the microphone and transmitted to listeners in one afternoon of record outside broadcasts today.
From Shelsley Walsh comes a running commentary on the Annual Open Hill-Climb for Racing and Sports Cars, where the speed kings struggle to cover a 1,000 yard course wit.h a. one in eight gradient in something like forty-two seconds.
Wimbledon comes next, where international tennis stars are halfway through the All-England Lawn Tennis championship.
At 3 o'clock you will hear the ceremony of the, departure of the new White Star motor vessel, Georgic, on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York : a farewell speech from the Lord Mayor of Liverpool on the bridge of the liner, and music by the ship's orchestra as she slips down the Mersey.
The scene changes to Hendon for the next relay, where the Royal Air Force is holding its ever-popular annual pageant. Stunt flights, mock battles, and the glittering pageant will be vividly described against a background, of roaring engines.
5.15 The Children's Hour
Children are invited to listen to the close of the R.A.F. Display at Hendon, where Squadron-Leader Helmore is giving a Running Commentary
THE Faust legend has attracted more composers than probably any other. In various forms it has been set by composers as far removed in outlook as Spohr and Busoni, both of whom used the story in opera and neither of whom owed anything to Goethe for their text. The libretto of Gounod's opera, however the most popular musically of them all, is based on Goethe's drama, but so unworthily, as Germans contend, that in Germany the opera is called Margarethe in protest, and not Faust. Berlioz's Damnation of Faust is also partly indebted to Goethe for its text. Apart from operas, a number of concert works' have been written round the legend, the most notable being by Wagner, Schumann, and Liszt, the latter of whom composed a symphony of huge proportions on the theme, and this orchestral piece to which he has given the name of waltz. It is, however, far more than a waltz in the ordinary sense, and is rather a tone picture of country revels into which Mephistopheles breaks with a wild fiddle dance of his own.
