THE SCOTTISH STUDIO ORCHESTRA

Scottish Poetry-13

James Hogg 
Allan Cunningham and others 
Reader, NAN SCOTT 
James Hogg , familiarly known as the ' Ettrick Shepherd ', has been dead nearly a hundred years and it is now possible to assess the value of his literary work with some degree of certainty. At the same time, it has never been possible to withdraw him effectively from the shade cast by his great contemporary, Sir Walter Scott. Many of his songs and large portions of ' Kilmeny ' are destined for immortality, as also is his little-known prose work, ' The Memoires of a Justified Sinner '. Allan Cunningham was author of the beautiful ' Hame, Hame, Hame ', and a few other pieces written by him have found a permanent place in Scottish poetry. This programme will include ' The Canadian Boat Song ', the authorship of which has never been settled.

' From The London Theatre'

This is the second broadcast of a new series, the purpose of which is to bring theatrical stars to the studio to broad-Cist scenes from the plays in which they are appearing in the West End.

SCOTTISH MILITARY BAND

Conductor, JOHN A. McIVOR 
ANNE BALLANTINE (contralto) 
Massenet (1842-1912) was a brilliant pupil of the Paris Conservatoire, winning the Rome Prize when he was twenty-one, and (after a period during which his music did not make great headway) beginning to win success when he was about thirty. From that time he had continual prosperity. He received the decoration of the Legion of Honour at thirty-four, and two years later he became a member of the Academy of Fine Arts-the youngest member ever elected. 
Though he wrote some orchestral works, these are scarcely remembered save as the means by which he became known in the world of French Opera. His songs have kept in favour. Of the twenty-one operas, not many have survived in England, but Manon was long popular at Covent Garden. 
We are to hear the Prelude from his music for Racine's tragedy of Phedre, which was produced in 1900.
