No. IV of the 39th Winter Series of Symphony Concerts
(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
This work, completed in 1932, is in four movements and has no 'programme.' Its idiom is modern, without being extravagantly so. The opening subject of the first movement, given out by the brass, is the principal theme of the work and is subjected to many permutations and combinations. This movement is mainly strenuous in character, though the second subject is peaceful and serene, and there is just a hint of jazz-rhythm in one of the subsidiary tunes. The second movement is definitely pastoral in character. It is scored for small orchestra and the strings are divided somewhat unusually. The main body is muted, while a solo quartet plays unmuted. The third movement is a bustling Scherzo built up of three easily-grasped tunes which combine at the climax. The harmony is piquant and slightly acid. The last
movement starts with an adagio introduction and settles down to a slightly sinister march. Both themes of which it is made up are derived from subsidiary material of the first movement. Near the end the skies clear and the music breaks into a broad serene tune. Right at the end the opening theme of the symphony is again given out by the full orchestra.
The symphony was first performed by the B.B.C. Orchestra under Adrian Boult at a Sunday Symphony Concert in October last year.

Mr. OLIVER BALDWIN
Mr. Oliver Baldwin has now got well into his stride as radio critic of the current films.
His wide experience, decided views, and pungent expression of his personal likes and dislikes of what he sees at the cinema make him a valuable guide and an entertaining talker.
' The Civil Service '-IV
' The Civil Service and Local Government,' by A CIVIL SERVANT
A Civil Servant prepares the way for the series on Local Government which begins next week with a comparison of the machinery of central and local administration. The citizen has constant evidence before him of the services of the local governing unit; those of the central government are not so immediately evident to him. For that reason this talk should be particularly illuminating and valuable. The series on local government will explain the functions of town councils, district councils, county councils and parish councils. It will contain a discussion entitled ' Do You Get Good Value for Your Rates?' the cross-examination of a Town Councillor at the microphone, and an explanation of vital health services by a medical officer.
