Unveiling of a Statue to Captain George Vancouver by The Right Honourable the Lord
Mayor of London,
Sir PERCY VINCENT
(From Vancouver)
Broadcast in collaboration with the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission
Fifty years ago, in 1886, the City of Vancouver was incorporated. This year, therefore, the fourth city and chief port of Canada celebrates its Golden
Jubilee. In May there was a broadcast of the annual ceremony held in Petersham Churchyard over the grave of Captain George Vancouver , after whom the city is named ; and this evening listeners will hear the unveiling ceremony of a statue to him. He was a brilliant navigator who had served in different parts of the world with seamen of the calibre of Cook and Rodney. And despite his premature death-he was in his thirties when he died-his name will always be remembered with the finest of English sailors.

SYBIL CRAWLEY (soprano)
Hermann Goetz (1840-1876) is one of those composers whom Fate has ill-treated. Though not a genius of the first rank, he had a very remarkable and individual talent, and by no means deserves the oblivion that has overtaken his works. His Symphony in F is a fine work, but his masterpiece is The Taming of the Shrew, one of the best German comic operas of the last century.
The music to Hjalmar Procope 's Belshazzar's Feast (written some thirty years ago) is, according to Cecil Gray , ' the only work of Sibelius in which one finds a deliberate cultivation of exotic local colour '. Scored for small orchestra with numerous percussion instruments, it is written in pseudo-oriental style. Nevertheless, it bears the stamp of Sibelius's unmistakable style, particularly in the haunting' Night Music'. SYBIL CRAWLEY
