Regional Geography
'The Near East'
Digging up the Oldest Cities jn the World
ERNEST MACKAY
This is the second talk of a new series planned by Professor E. G. R. Taylor (who has also planned the Travel Talks course). The series covers a year, and will deal with the group of Western people to which we ourselves belong-those in Europe, the Mediterranean lands, and the Near East. Last week listeners heard talks about ' nature's boundaries ', by three men who have actually faced them-heat and thirst in the desert, storms at sea, and the Siberian winter.
Today listeners are to hear some more first-hand experiences-those of a man who was engaged in excavation work at Kish, in the wilds of Mesopotamia, for the Oxford and Field Museum, Chicago, from 1922 to 1926, and has been excavating in India for the last seven years. At Kish Dr. Mackay found a large cemetery nearly five thousand years old-but you will hear all about that.

8.28 Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, for pianoforte and orchestra Rachmaninoff (Solo pianoforte, MOISEIWITSCH)
Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini was begun on July 3, 1934, at the composer's summer retreat on the lake of Lucerne. On August 24 it was completed, and in less than seven weeks Rachmaninoff was in Philadelphia, and, with the co-operation of Stowkowski, his new work had its first reading in the foyer of the Philadelphia Academy of Music. It was first heard in London in March, 1935, at a Philharmonic Concert under Sir Thomas Beecham , with Rachmaninoff as soloist, and since that time it has established itself as one of the most popular of Rachmaninoff's orchestral works. The Rhapsody is in variation form, the theme being the one that Brahms used for his Paganini Variations for piano.
8.53 A Colour Symphony
Arthur Bliss
1 Andante maestoso (Purple). 2 Allegro vivace (Red). 3 Piii lento ma con moto (Blue). 4 Moderato (Green)
(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
Bliss's ' Colour ' Symphony was composed for the Three Choirs' Festival and was first performed in Gloucester Cathedral in 1922. The idea of using colours to denote the moods of music may appear arbitrarily fanciful rather than significant, but here the scheme is more than usually applicable. For example, one could readily associate the first movement (Purple) with pageantry, royalty, and death ; the second (Red) with revelry, courage, and magic ; the third (Blue) with deep water, skies, loyalty, and melancholy ; and the fourth (Green) with joy, youth, and victory. In 1932, however, Bliss revised the first, second, and fourth movements, but the third movement was left in its original form.

The Prime Minister, The Rt. Hon. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN
Speaking at a reception by the Central Council for Health Education from the London School of Hygiene, Keppel Street
In a drive towards a fitter Britain and a fuller and healthier life, and in the belief that it is not enough to provide unrivalled health and other services if they are not used to the fullest extent by those for whose welfare they are intended, the Minister of Health is launching this autumn, in collaboration with the President of the Board of Education and the Central Council for Health Education, a six months' campaign. It is in no sense political in character and has been welcomed by the Opposition in the House of Commons, for its sole purpose is to secure a wider use of the health services at the nation's disposal.
Tonight the Prime Minister is to inaugurate the campaign, and listeners are to hear his speech at a reception by the Central Council for Health Education at the London School of Hygiene.
