Leader, Harold Fairhurst
Conductor, Richard Austin
Solo pianoforte, Harriet Cohen from the Pavilion, Bournemouth
Falla's 'Nights in the Gardens of Spain' was completed in 1916 and first heard in England in 1921. According to the composer, ' the themes employed are based on the rhythms, modes, cadences, and ornamental figures which distinguished the popular music of Andalucia, although they are rarely used in their original forms ; and the orchestration frequently employs, and employs in a tonventional manner, certain effects peculiar to the popular instruments Tised in those parts of Spain. The music has no pretensions to being descriptive: it is merely expressive. But something more than the sounds of festivals and dances has inspired these " evocations in sound ", for melancholy and mystery have their part also '.

(A Recording)
There are few men living more capable of describing the intellectual emancipation 'of China than Dr.
Chang, who is one of the most distinguished thinkers and educationists in the Far East.
Dr. Chang has recently been in Europe to assess Western opinion on events in the Far East, though as recently as January he was in Chung-king, capital of China today. He had to leave for the United States before the broadcast this evening, and his talk has, therefore, had to be recorded.
Professor C. K. Webster , who will question Dr. Chang throughout the broadcast, will introduce him at the microphone, and begin the talk.
