The Severn Suite was one of Elgar's later works. It was originally conceived for brass band, but as Elgar did not possess a mastery of brass-band technique, he scored it for full orchestra and asked Henry Geehl to arrange it for brass band. The second Organ Sonata is based on the same thematic material as that of the Severn Suite.

by Stewart Hawkins
Production by John Cheatle
This programme is an effort to recreate, in sound alone, a single half-hour of a policeman's night patrol in the East Side tenement section of New York. The rhythmical sound pattern of footsteps, which echo so clearly from the side-walks late at night, will underlie the entire sequence of events and will, we hope, convey the changing tempo of the action.
Like The Fall of the City and Job To Be Done, Night Patrol was first produced in America by the Columbia Workshop, which was originally founded as an experimental unit and is now producing programmes regularly. The Workshop's productions have included some of the most stimulating plays and features ever put on the air, and listeners who were impressed by the previous specimens of its work should not be disappointed in Night Patrol.
As before, this broadcast will be a British production from the BBC's London studios, not merely a recording of the American version.
