One of the most distinguished British baritones is Herbert Heyner, who has appeared at more than twenty seasons of Promenade Concerts and has sung principal baritone at all the leading provincial festivals. He has also appeared in opera at Covent Garden. Mr. Heyner is an extraordinarily versatile artist, for in addition to oratorio and opera, he has distinguished himself as a singer of French songs and German Lieder. Among British composers he has done much to make known the songs of Delius, Elgar, and Dame Ethel Smyth.

The harp that once thro' Tara's Halls Let Erin remember the days of old Thro' grief and thro' danger It is not the tear
0 think not my spirits
The meeting of the stars
He may roam thro' this world Avenging and bright
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
The time I've lost in wooing 'Tis the last rose of summer

A broadcast from a lambing pen on the Wiltshire Downs
This is the first of a new series of broad- casts designed to show how the world works at night. Tonight listeners are to be taken to a lambing pen on Mr. Coombes's farm at Fovant, near Salisbury, on the Wiltshire Downs.
A. G. Street , Wiltshire farmer and popular writer and broadcaster of farming subjects, is to set the scene and to describe its significance. There will be a microphone in the shepherd's hut. and another in the lambing pen. It is probable that listeners will hear Mr. Coombes and his shepherd talking together and they will be able to eavesdrop on the whole thing. It is hoped to convey the essential atmosphere of a shepherd's work at night in his actual surroundings.

Stanford's Irish Symphony is practically unknown to the present generation. It should be more popular, because it is full of good tunes. The chief tune in the slow movement is rather like the one that opens the slow movement of Brahms's Fourth Symphony, but although the two symphonies were composed at about the same time, it is not a case of plagiarism. Stanford actually based his tune on an old Irish folk song, ' The Lament of the Sons of Usnach '. The last movement is based on two Irish tunes, ' Remember the glories of Bryan the Brave ' and ' Let Erin remember the days old '.
In view of the widespread interest in folk songs, it is curious that so few ' national ' symphonies have been produced by British composers. Sullivan and Parry wrote English Symphonies that have been unduly neglected. Another Irish Symphony was composed by Sir Hamilton Harty.
