Stories from World History: Alexander the Great
A Dramatic Interlude written by Hugh Ross Williamson
Greek ideas spread over a large part of the world. They were carried farthest by a young Macedonian named Alexander, who became head of a great empire. His armies conquered eastward as far as India, and it seemed that nothing could stop him. In today's broadcast listeners will hear why he at last turned back.

2.30 Biology: Intelligence
A.D. Peacock, D.Sc., F.R.S.E.
Last week Dr. Peacock described some of the remarkable things that animals can do, and instanced the amazing organisation of the ants. But the question was asked: Do they think as we do?.. Today Dr. Peacock is to discuss the whole question of instinct, example, and intelligence.
There is no doubt that animals learn by experience. The cat or dog that gets singed by the gas-fire, won't go near it again, and the rat, scared by the trap, avoids it. It is obvious that they are intelligent, so far as being clever is concerned. Horses are clever or unclever jumpers, dogs are clever at doing tricks, and so on. But can animals perform experiments?
Do they use tools? Do they think over things before they act? In the answer to these questions lies the whole problem of instinct or intelligence.

Beethoven's Thirty-two Variations were written in 1806 and therefore represent the composer in full command of his creative gifts. The key scheme of these Variations is interesting: Variations 1-12 are in C minor, 13-17 in C major, and 18-32 in C minor. F. Bonavia , in an article on this work in The Radio Times, points out that Beethoven ' in the Thirty-two Variations recalls Bach on account of the material and spiritual unity of a work that resembles a chaconne in every particular. There is no change of rhythm and the only change in tonality is given by the passage from minor into major'.

Dr. William Boyce, in turn composer to the Chapel Royal, conductor of the Three Choirs Festival, and Master of the King's Musick, was born in London in 1710. In his day he was one of the foremost English composers, writing music for the Church, stage pieces, and masques. The eight symphonies which have come down to us have been recently edited by Constant Lambert.
The ' Froissart' Overture was the work with which Elgar made his first appearance at one of the great English Festivals-at Worcester, in 1890. It thus did a good deal to spread his fame, and was probably the first of his larger works to arouse anything at all like the interest which was even then his due. At the head of the score there is a quotation from Keats : ' ... when Chivalry lifted up her lance on high' ; end Ernest Newman tells us that the Overture took shape in its composer's mind from that passage in Sir Walter Scott 's ' Old Mortality ', where Claverhouse speaks to Morton of his enthusiasm for the Froissart ' Chronicles '. The music is, indeed, eloquent of Elgar's idealised view of the old-world chivalry which Froissart presents to us with so much romance.
