Alistair Cooke

At the request of a number of listeners who want to know about the American League of Purity, about the grading of 'Adult' and 'Universal' films, and so forth, Mr. Alistair Cooke will talk today on 'Censorship'.

He proposes to look over the actual Production Code itself, the modern picture industry's Magna Chart of official decency, and to scrutinise again the old familiar faces of art and morality.

The Foundations of English Music
Under the direction of Sir RICHARD RUNCIMAN TERRY
Seventeenth Century Songs
Sung by JOHN ARMSTRONG (tenor)
ROBERT JOHNSON , whose father, John, was one of Queen Elizabeth's Musicians for the Lute, was appointed also a Musician for the Lute by-James I, in 1624. He was afterwards attached to Prince Henry's Household, and on the accession of Charles I,
Henry being dead, his post as Court Musician was confirmed anew. This song, ' As I walked forth ', was printed in Playford's ' Ayres and Dialogues'.
DR. JOHN BLOW was one of the most eminent musicians of his day, which was the latter half of the seventeenth century. He served as Organist of the Chapel Royal under three Sovereigns. On the death of Purcell he was appointed Organist at Westminster Abbey and retained that office until the end of his life.
PELHAM HUMFREY was born in 1647 and died at the early age of twenty-seven. He was appointed a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, and later Master of the Children, and Composer in Ordinary for the Violins to His Majesty. In his short life he composed several fine anthems. This song, ' I pass all my hours ' was first printed in Playford's ' Choice Songs'. Humfrey is buried in Westminster Abbey.
WILLIAM LAWES and HENRY LAWES , half-brothers belonging to a distinguished English family of musicians, are represented in tomorrow's Foundations. Henry, a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, was a distinguished figure both as composer and performer. William was also a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, and a highly esteemed composer. Henry was buried in Westminster Abbey, but William was killed in the Civil War.
