A Trainer at home in his Loft by H. J. Sewell and David Gretton from Chesterfield
(An electrical recording of a programme broadcast in the Regional and Midland programmes on Tuesday)
This interesting outside broadcast gives an impression of a racing pigeons' loft at Chesterfield. Noises of the birds returning to the loft after a flight of several miles will be heard. The trainer, H. J. Sewell , will speak as an expert, and David Gretton will represent the interested visitor.
Mr. Sewell first broadcast from
Midland in 1931 and has given several talks since. He is a Vice-President of the National Homing Union, and is widely known among fanciers as the originator of the system of weather reports during the progress of pigeon races.
His birds have done well in races since 1923. He got three birds back out of four sent in the Bordeaux Race in 1931. His brother was a petty officer in the Pigeon Service during the war.

Ernst Krenek (pianoforte)

(Section D)
Led by Marie Wilson
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
(Solo pianoforte, ERNST KRENEK)
(First performance)
Though born at Vienna in 1900 of Czech family, Ernst Krenek is considered one of the leading composers of the younger German School. He studied composition under Franz Schreker in Vienna and in Berlin, where he now lives.
* He appears to be swayed ', says
Edwin Evans , ' by strictly musical, not to say even technical, impulses, and rarely, if ever, allows his course to be deflected by emotional or temperamental considerations. He takes the " linear" view of polyphony which prevails in so much recent German music, and is in fact one of its most uncompromising adherents.' (First performance in England)
Berg's 'Three Orchestral Pieces', Op. 6, were completed in August, 1914. Willi Reich sees in them an affinity with Mahler, and considers them to be an outstanding example of the style and tendencies of the Schonberg school of that period.
The work, which is dedicated to
' my teacher and friend, Arnold Schönberg', is divided into three parts: ' Prasludium ' Reigen ' (' ronde ' or ' branle ') and March, and is scored for a large orchestra with quadruple wood-wind, six horns, bells xylophone, harp, celesta, and full percussion, including a large hammer.
