These four pieces of Dowland belong to a collection entitled ' Lachrimse : or Seven Tears figured in seven passionate Pavans with divers other Pavans, Galiards and Almands', transcribed from the original edition of 1605 by Peter Warlock.
In his preface Warlock says that the first piece, ' Lachrimæ antique ', ' had made its appearance in print six years earlier in Dowiand's " Second Booke of Songs or Ayres " in the form of a song, " Flow, my tears", but that it was actually composed much earlier than 1600 is shown by its inclusion in William Ballet's manuscript collection of lute music (now preserved in the library of Trinity College, Dublin), which is dated 1594. This tune attained an extraordinary degree of popularity in the early years of the seventeenth century, both as a song and as an instrumental piece. The familiar way in which it is mentioned by the dramatists of the period-Fletcher, Ben Jonson , Middleton, Massinger, and Webster-proves that it was quite a household word to the average member of the theatre audience for many years. Certain of the Galiards in " Lachrimae " also figure as songs in Dowland's other publications.'
Schubert's Quintet in C must have been one of the last of the composer's works, for it belongs to the year in which he died, 1828, when he was only in his thirty-second year.
The inclusion of two 'cellos among the five instruments gives great richness and solidity of tone, and the management of the dialogue between all five instruments is a delight in itself. The slow movement is surely one of the two or three loveliest movements in all Schubert's music.

KATE WINTER (soprano)
WILLIAM PRIMROSE (viola)
Kate Winter began her musical career as a pianist, then became a school teacher, and finally turned to singing. She made her debut under Sir Henry Wood at a Prom concert, and since 1923 has regularly broadcast.
William Primrose has earned the reputation of being one of the foremost virtuosos on the viola. Born at Glasgow, he studied the violin for three years at the Guildhall School of Music.
Afterwards he went to Brussels and studied with Ysaye for five years, and it was during that time he turned his attention to the viola. On his return to England he played violin concertos at various concert organisations. In 1930 Waldo Warner retired from the London String Quartet and Mr. Primrose was asked to take his place. The viola has now became his instrument, and since the break up of the London String Quartet last year Mr. Primrose has given concerts is Italy, Spain, Brazil, and Canada, and at the end of this year he is going on a tour through U.S.A.

Relayed from
The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne (Soloist, LESLIE JEFFRIES> )
From month to month these popular relays from the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, are eagerly awaited-the music is so good, and always so jolly ; always a good singer ; always the violin solos played with -the sure touch and fine technique of Leslie Jeffries. So sweet is the fone of his fiddle that he receives inquiries from violin makers and connoisseurs from all over the country as to the make and date of it, and invariably they believe it to be an old Italian violin. To this he always replies with pride that it is English, made in 1927, in the West End of London.
Listeners will note that of the solos down for tonight, one is the evir popular ' Hungarian Czardas ' by Monti ; and, running down the programme, they will come to a waltz rhapsody, ' Carissima '. This is a new composition by Herman Lohr , who has written it especially for Leslie Jeffries. It is to have its first broadcast tonight, and listeners who remember ' Little Grey Home in the West' will look forward to hearing a new piece by this master of melody.
