' Ceylon '
F. MCDERMOTT
Captain McDermott is to show you Colombo and its wonderful harbour, which is such an imposing sight in the daytime and such a lovely sight at night. He will tell you about its lighthouse, situated strangely enough in a main street with a Cingalese policeman stationed underneath directing the traffic. Then he will take you to the station in a rickshaw and twenty miles by train to Negombo, where coconut palms grow everywhere and everyone lives out of them.
Then he will take you up-country to Kandy. And finally you will learn why the islands between Ceylon and India are called Adam's Bridge.

BERNARD SHAW
For the first time Bernard Shaw is to talk to Sixth Forms. His listeners, many of whom will have seen or read his plays and prefaces, will be astonished if they hear a conventional talk. They will not be surprised if this brilliant iconoclast goes on breaking images and tells them not to prize too highly the academic way to knowledge and a career. Shaw took his own line of country in a manner that was as spectacular as it was successful, and he may advise some of his listeners who have the courage, to do the same.

The ' Nocturne ', to be heard for the first time tonight, is Felix White 's tenth orchestral work, and was written last autumn. It is simpler in design than much of his music, and should therefore offer no problems to the listener. The material virtually consists of a long, flowing 'cello melody, which is later on transferred to the violins and is eventually brought to a soaring climax. Then the brass intone a solemn phrase, and the 'Nocturne closes quietly as it began.

One of the greatest tragedies in the history of French music was the death of Ernest Chausson (1855-1899) through a bicycle accident at his home at Limay, Seine-et-Oise. Like many other musicians, he began his career as a lawyer, but at the age of twenty-five he gave up law for music. His first move was to enter Massenet's composition class at the Paris Conservatoire, and he also studied with Cesar Franck for three years. From Massenet he learnt to write with the utmost purity of texture and from Cesar Franck he derived his richness of harmonic colour and deep romantic feeling.
The Piano Quartet in A was written in 1897, two years before the composer died. It ' was to mark the culminating point of his work ', says Vincent d'Indy, ' and here it is evident that he had made an immense stride forward, quite as much in the merit and charm of the ideas as in the novelty of the form, in which cyclic constituents, rhythmically modified, end by acquiring a double nature, which enriches and greatly strengthens the architecture of the work '.
