British History-9
' The Normans visit England '
RHODA POWER
William, Duke of Normandy, visited the court of Edward the Confessor,
King of England, more than ten years before the battle of Hastings. This prelude to the hostile invasion of 1066 was described in The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle : ' A.D. 1052. Soon after came ... William from beyond the sea with a large retinue ... And the King entertained him and as many of his companions as were convenient and let him depart again.....'
Today Rhoda Power will deal with this Norman visit by presenting a reconstructive play. Listeners will meet several English people of the period and hear what they have to say about the Duke William and his followers.

The 'cello has been so shabbily treated on the whole by the great masters, that its few great concertos are held in a warmer affection than their own worth sometimes deserves. Schumann's is not counted as one of his greatest works, but the beautiful slow movement is a very fine example of the long-drawn melody which he had at command when he chose. And the other movements, too, though not always what players call ' grateful ', have many passages of noble eloquence and strength. The whole work is played without a break, each of the movements leading one into another. It was composed in 1850, soon after Schumann and his wife went to Dusseldorf, for him to take over the post of conductor ot the local choir and orchestra.
One of the most beautiful examples of Elgar's art is the ' Enigma ' Variations, which perhaps more than any other of his works has beep the means of spreading his fame abroad. The title ' enigma' refers to another and larger ' theme (presumably a well-known tune), which, if played in conjunction with the present theme and the subsequent variations, fits perfectly.
These variations are dedicated ' To my friends pictured within ', and consequently each variation is prefaced with the initial or nickname of the friend ' pictured '. Referring to this novel idea Elgar said : ' It is true that I sketched for their amusement and mine the idiosyncrasies of fourteen of my friends, not necessarily musicians, but this is a personal matter, and need not have been mentioned publicly ; the Variations should stand simply as a " piece " of music
