'The Battle of Abu-Klea, 1885'
William H. Peters
Tonight William Peters , who was in the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, is to tell the dramatic story of the Battle of Abu-Klea on January 17, 1885, in which he took part. His regiment was part of an expedition sent to Khartoum t6 relieve General Gordon, who was besieged there by the Mahdi. He will tell of forced marches, privation, and thirst, and of the eventual push from Korti when the news became desperate.
The hero of his story is Colonel
Fred Burnaby of ' The Blues ', who advanced mounted on a pony, his feet almost touching the ground, armed only with a sword. As they sighted Abu-Klea, flags fluttered and the enemy were seen on the walls and fired at. Skirmishers were sent out, but they had not advanced two hundred yards before ' a black cloud seemed to rise from the ground headed by sheiks mounted on horses '.
In the fierce battle that ensued, Colonel Burnaby was killed by an Arab.

Devised and presented by George Inns

(First Performance)
(Conducted by the Composer)
Stanley Wilson was only fifteen when he won an open scholarship for composition at the Royal College of Music, where he studied under Sir
Charles Stanford. After he left the College he was appointed music master at Ipswich School. Among Mr. Wilson's compositions are a Piano Concerto, which was first performed at a Promenade Concert in 1929, and a 'Skye Symphony', which was first performed at a studio concert in the same year, both of which were conducted by the composer himself, and the present Concerto for violin, viola, and orchestra.
Richard Strauss 's opera Intermezzo, described as ' a bourgeois comedy with symphonic entr'actes ', was completed at Buenos Aires in August, 1923, and produced at the Staatsschauspielhaus, Dresden, in November, 1924. The libretto, written by Strauss himself, is based on an incident that had occurred in his own married life many years earlier, a comic affair of baseless jealousy that might easily have had a tragic ending.
In Intermezzo Strauss has tackled, and perhaps solved, the problem of modern German comic opera. The Mastersingers, glorious as it is, set German comic opera on the wrong path, a too symphonic path. In Intermezzo Strauss has deliberately restored a lighter texture and a lighter, swifter handling of the text, the symphonic element being concentrated in the orchestral interludes.
