Frank Melland
Africa is still in some ways the Dark Continent. The African as an individual—as contrasted with the popular mass conceptions of him -is still largely the ' unknown '. Frank Melland not only worked in Africa for twenty-six years as a magistrate. He also made friends with the African, and always tried to understand the black man's ways and his thoughts. This afternoon he is going to tell us about some of the Africans he has known.

Arnold Bax's 'Overture to Adventure', like many other works of the composer, has no definite programme behind it, the music not being associated with any particular adventure. It was written in 1936 at Morar, Invergarry, and received its first performance in 1937 at a concert of the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra under Richard Austin, to whom the score is dedicated. The orchestration has been purposely designed to make it suitable for orchestras of comparatively modest resources: the wood-wind section, for instance, has been limited to eight players.

Schumann began work on his first Symphony in December, 1840. By the end of January it was completed. It was inspired by a poem to Spring by Adolf Bottger, and he originally intended to give each movement a title. However, in a letter to a conductor he said: "Try to inspire the orchestra with some of the longing for Spring that chiefly possessed me when I wrote the Symphony.... At the very beginning I should like the trumpets to sound as if from on high, like a call to awaken. In what follows of the introduction there might be a suggestion of the growing green of everything, even of a butterfly flying up, and in the allegro, of the gradual assembling of all that belongs to Spring. But these are fancies that came to me after the completion of the work. Only of the last movement I will tell you that I like to think of it as Spring's Farewell, and that therefore I should not like it to be rendered frivolously."

The Hon. Harold Nicolson, C.M.G.
The idea of this series of fortnightly broadcasts by various speakers is to commemorate some great event now more or less forgotten, or some personality famous in his day for good or had, and now become perhaps a legend. The scene will be reconstructed, the story retold.
Today the well-known broadcaster, the Hon. Harold Nicolson, is to talk about Dick Turpin, who was executed at York in 1739, practically 200 years ago. Born in 1706, he was the son of an innkeeper at Hempstead, Essex, joined a gang of robbers, and entered into partnership with the highwayman Tom King, on the Cambridge Road in 1735. Turpin shot him by accident, escaped to Yorkshire, was arrested for horse-stealing, and hanged. Posterity chooses to think of him as a very different man from what he was.
