' The Highlanders go to Canada'
RHODA POWER
At the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth, numbers of Highlanders were evicted from their lands which were taken over for sheep-farming. Their emigration to Canada was inspired by Lord Selkirk who wrote : ' Now is the time to befriend this people ... let us direct their emigration ; let them be led abroad to new possessions ... give them homes under our own flag, and they will strengthen the Empire.'
Though there were some who accused him of madness, his scheme went through. These Highlanders emigrated to another life, another land. How they fared in Canada, many of them trading in fur and settling in such places as Fort Douglas on Red River, will be told you by Rhoda Power this afternoon.

' A Midsummer Night's Dream ', by William Shakespeare

by BERKELEY MASON
A. S. Arensky (1861-1906), one of the most interesting of minor Russian composers, is known in England chiefly by his pleasant, lyrical chamber music and by his polished miniatures for piano, which he produced prolifically. His bigger works-three operas, two symphonies, piano concerto and violin concerto-are already half-forgotten.
Though a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, his work is not very remarkable for national flavouring. It is similar in quality to the more lyrical part of Tchaikovsky's output and this is reflected in turn in the compositions of his own most distinguished pupil-Rachmaninov. Towards the end of his life Arensky's faculties were undermined by living at a rather furious pace, and his last days were spent in tragic futility. Galloping consumption ended his life.

Symphony No. 1, in B flat...Schumann
1. Andante un poco maestoso, Allegro molto vivace ; 2. Larghetto ; 3. Scherzo and Trio ; 4. Allegro animato e grazioso
Schuman's First Symphony is a Spring Symphony. He wrote it (as he told Taubert in February, 1841, a month before the first performance) ' when the first breath of spring was in the air '. And, as Sir Donald Tovey has happily pointed out, it also coincides with ' the springtide of the happiest years of his life—his year of song, 1840, when he triumphed over all the obstacles which old Wieck opposed to his marriage to his Clara, and poured out the first and greatest two volumes of his four volumes of songs; and 1841, when, with his powers as yet undiminished by illness, he devoted his attention to the larger forms of music'. The first movement expresses ' Spring's Awakening ', the last ' Spring's Farewell

Borodin's most important orchestral vork after his two fine symphonies .. the ' symphonic sketch ', ' In the Steppes of Central Asia'. It was originally written as a musical background to one of a series of historical tableaux vivants shown during the celebrations of the silver jubilee of the Tsar Alexander II in 1880. The music illustrates the following scene : The silence of the sandy steppes of Central Asia is interrupted by the first sounds of a peaceful Russian song. Then the melancholy refrain of an Oriental song is heard, and with it the tramp of horses and camels. A caravan escorted by Russian soldiers is crossing the immense desert, fearlessly continuing its long journey under the protection of the Russian troops. The caravan proceeds on its way. The songs of the Russians and those of the Asiatics gradually blend together in the same harmony; their refrains are heard for some time and finally die away in the distance.'
