THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM ORCHESTRA

(Leader, ALFRED CAVE) 
Conducted by LESLIE HEWARD   
THESE PIECES BY DELIUS are two of the loveliest conceptions of the countryside in all music, and, at the same time, the two most beautiful of Delius's shorter pieces. 
With only wood-winds and horns added to the usual stringed instruments, ' The First Cuckoo ' begins with three introductory bars, and then the first melody is heard. Played by the strings, with an undulating movement, it has little bits of tune from the wood-wind welded with it at one point. The next tune, which has a more important part in the work, grows in a very natural way out of the first, although, so the composer has told us, it is really a Norwegian folk-song. So far, no actual call of the cuckoo has made its way into the music, except in light suggestions, but here a real .bird call is plainly heard, played by the clarinet. 
' Summer Night on the River ' is just such a soft, dreamy picture as its subject demands ; it is, indeed, eloquent of all that its name suggests.
