by Joseph Pessac
Richard Jones (1680-1740), leader of the orchestra at Drury Lane Theatre in 1730, was a celebrated violinist and composer for the violin. He composed a book of ' Chamber Airs for a Violin and Thorough-Bass ' and a book of 'Six Suites of Lessons for a Violin with a Thorough-Bass for the harpsichord '.
Joseph Pessac , a South African by birth, is an experienced broadcaster to the Empire and was heard in the National programme on June 5. Born at Worcester, Cape Colony, he used as a boy to travel 110 miles to Capetown every Saturday, returning the same night. Then he won a bursary at the South African College .of Music.
On leaving the College, Pessac joined the Capetown Orchestra-then conducted by Leslie Heward -and came to England with them on their European tour. They went back to South Africa without him, for he stayed to study at the Royal Academy of Music and afterwards completed his studies with Sevcik and Hubay in Prague and Budapest. Pessac has since toured in Czechoslovakia, Italy, and France.

Delius's Violin Concerto was first performed by the Royal Philharmonic Society in January, 1919, about two-and-a-half years after its completion. It is dedicated to Albert Sammons , who was responsible for overhauling and editing the solo violin part for the composer. The work is in one continuous movement, which, however, falls into three well-defined sections in contrasting tempos. In the presentation and method of working out the thematic material it is typical of the composer's highly individual style.
' Death and Transfiguration ' is one of the earliest of Strauss's symphonic poems. It was completed in 1889, when the composer was only twenty-five. Originally, the score was prefaced by a poem of Alexander Ritter, which was, however, written after Strauss's music, and therefore may be considered as a kind of commentary on the music.
' Death and Transfiguration' is divided into four sections : (1) the sick man lies in his bed and dreams of ' childhood's golden day' ; (2) then comes a fierce, delirious fight with Death. Once again there follows stillness; (3) the dying man reviews all his past life. At length there comes a briefer, fiercer struggle, in which Death strikes its final blow; (4) the stillness of death is succeeded by the Transfiguration.
