Pushkin's ' Legend of Tsar Saltan ', on which Rimsky-Korsakov based his delightful, fantastic opera, is a sort of Russian salad of ' Cinderella ' and the Perseus legend.
The absurd, pompous Tsar Saltan , kind and cruel by turns, combines the rôles of Prince Charming and of the cruel king in the old Greek story, who turns his wife and child adrift in a floating barrel.
This concert suite consists of three of the orchestral preludes to the separate acts of the opera. The quaint march-theme of the first number is a delicious musical characterisation of Saltan himself. The second piece is a seascape : the barrel drifts along with the unfortunate Tsarevna and the baby Prince. The third paints the wonders of the country in which they land ; warriors who appear out of the waves, a singing squirrel that cracks golden nuts, a Princess lovelier than the moon (whom, of course, the Prince marries).
Joseph Holbrooke , who was one of the leading figures in the rapid development of the British school of composers during the first decade of the present century, began his orchestral tone poem ' Queen Mab ' in 1902 and finished it for the Leeds Festival in 1904. It is scored for a full modern orchestra and chorus (the latter being ad libitum), and is divided into four connected sections. The first three sections are i concerned with Mercutio's description of Queen Mab : (1) ' In shape no bigger than an agate-stone on the forefinger of an alderman', etc., (2) ' and in this state she gallops night by night; through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love', etc., (3) 'Sometime she driveth o'er a soldier's neck, And dreams he of cutting foreign throats', etc.

What is happening in Denmark, and in Scandinavia generally, is becoming increasingly important to English farmers. In order fully to learn the political and commercial relations between the Scandinavian countries and our own, it is necessary to see these countries at first hand, quite apart from the fact that we have much to learn from them in farming technique and marketing methods.
With these thoughts in mind, the BBC made arrangements for Mr. John Morgan to go on a tour of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. He is now back in England and tonight will give the first of three talks in which he will describe what he has seen and heard there.
