(Section E)
Led by Laurance Turner
Conducted by Joseph Lewis
Garda Hall (soprano)
Schubert completed his Fourth Symphony in April, 1816, when he was nineteen. It had to wait more than thirty-three years for its first performance, when the Viennese musical society ' Euterpe ' chose it for their first concert on November 19, 1849.
The Symphony is sometimes known as the ' Tragic '. The title was not given by Schubert himself and is not particularly apt, for, in spite of the rather sombre introduction, and the passionate course of the first movement, the symphony as a whole is by no means tragic. The slow movement contains some of Schubert's loveliest melodies, and the finale (after a fascinating minuet) is fiery and spirited.

2-' The Church, the Tribe, and Humanity'
Arnold J. Toynbee ,
Research Professor of International
History in the University of London
Tonight, in the second talk in this series, Professor Arnold Toynbee is to discuss the modern world's new
Faiths, which were mentioned in the opening talk last week.
Professor Toynbee is as well-known an authority on such subjects as Greek thought and civilisation as he is on modern international affairs. His qualifications and abilities enable him to serve both as Director of Studies in the Royal Institute of International Affairs and as Research Professor of International History in the University of London. He has brought a. fresh and thoroughly well-informed mind to a survey of the New Europe, and is acutely conscious of national post-war tendencies.
