Frank Tapp has composed five concert overtures. His ' Metropolis ', which won the second prize in The Daily Telegraph Overture Competition, has been broadcast several times, the last occasion being about a fortnight ago.- His latest overture is ' Beachy Head', which is to be given its first performance this afternoon. The music is conceived in a romantic style and it is intended to suggest the wind-swept downs of this famous Sussex beauty spot.

The scene is Holland in the fifteenth century
Gerard's marriage to Margaret Brandt was interrupted, and he was compelled to flee from Holland by the enmity of the Burgomaster, Ghysbrecht van Swieten. On his way to Italy he saves Teresa and her child in a shipwreck, and is himself saved by a Dominican monk, Father Jerome.
In Rome, Gerard meets the Princess Claelia, who falls in love with him, but he tells her that he already has a sweetheart. A letter supposed to come from the Dame van Eyck in Holland tells him that Margaret is dead. He plunges into dissipation, and finally throws himself into the Tiber. He is saved by Teresa's husband, who had been hired by Claelia to kill him.
Meeting Father Jerome again,
Gerard repents and re-enters the Church, becoming Brother Clement. Claelia, sent by Father Jerome on a pilgrimage, encounters Gerard, and is forgiven.
Gerard, on his way to England, preaches in Rotterdam, where he sees Margaret, as he thinks in a vision. Inquiring where she is buried, he learns how his brothers have tricked him with false news of Margaret's death, and curses his family.
He is called to shrive the dying
Ghysbrecht van Swieten, who promises to make restitution to Margaret for an ancient wrong done to her family. Gerard then disappears.

Conducted by Sir Hamilton Harty
The Royal Fireworks, for which Handel wrote the special music, were to celebrate the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. The show was executed on -a very large and expensive scale, and it took place in the Green Park, London, near the end facing towards St. James's, where a great wooden structure was erected with symbolic figures, one group representing the king in the act of handing peace to Britannia herself. The occasion aroused enormous public interest, but, unfortunately, the fireworks were rather a fiasco, and before the end of the evening the wooden building itself was burned down. The only really successful part of the entertainment was Handel's music, which was played by a big, imposing orchestra, on a gallery of the fireworks building, and the music was punctuated by the firing of cannons.
