A. G. STREET
This morning A. G. Street is to talk of the difference between rural life of today and rural life of years ago. The people change; customs, manners, tastes, and so forth, vary from one Reneraion to the other. But the land of this country outlives them.
Arthur Street stresses this in his new book, ' Land Everlasting ', which was Published the week before last. It is a more serious work than any he has yet written, and is an attempt to find a solution to Great Britain's farming problems. It is the work of a farmer who has spent a lifetime in farming, knows all its problems from personal experience, and has proved already how well he can write.

These dances were written in memory of the composer's daughter, who died when scarcely out of childhood. They recall vivid impressions of the happy life of a child.
This set of Variations on the favourite old tune is the best known of Ernest Austin's orchestral works. The music is all as genial as the words of the song itself, and, to add to the fun, other well-known tunes are introduced into the finale to keep the ' Vicar ' company. The work was produced at Queen's Hall in 1910, at the Promenades. Ernest Austin comes of a musical family, although he, himself, took up music seriously only after he was thirty. Frederick Austin , baritone singer, opera manager and arranger of the Beggar's Opera music, is his elder brother.

Arcangelo Corelli , who, living between 1653 and 1713, was of the musical generation before Handel, is considered the father of violin playing as we know it today. He was one of the' greatest violinists of his time and instituted many reforms in style and performance, but it is his compositions that have more materially benefited us. His most important compositions are the Concerti Grossi. These are all for an orchestra of stringed instruments, and are designed usually for two or three solo instruments supported by an ensemble of strings. They consist, in the fashion of the time, mainly of dance movements, which form, later adopted by Handel, was transformed in due time by Haydn into the modern symphony. Corelli's concertos are so valuable, not only as historical documents, but as music which can be thoroughly enjoyed, that they have excited the attention of numerous editors ; Joachim was one, and in our own day Frank Bridge another. The performance this afternoon is, of course, from an edition which has been carefully edited for modern performance.
Listeners will recall that Corelli had a week's ' Foundations of Music ' to himself a short while ago. This was devoted to his Suonate da Camera, which, though more properly chamber music than the Concerti Grossi , have much the same form. Those who enjoyed those performances will find the same pleasure here.
