Georges Migot, who is fifty-nine years of age, was a pupil of Widor; he wrote this Concert for flute, cello, and harp in 1929. It has three movements: Prélude, Berceuse, and Danse de la Noctuelle.
Andre Caplet, whose "Le Miroir de Jesus" was broadcast recently in the Third Programme, wrote "Conte Fantastique" to illustrate a story by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Masque of the Red Death". It tells how Prince Prospero, whose land was ravaged by a plague known as the Red Death, held a masked ball at his court in defiance of the terror. At the height of the revels, however, one of the dancers was seen to be the Red Death himself.
Jean Cras, a friend and pupil of Duparc, was a rear-admiral in the French Navy as well as a composer; he lived from 1879 to 1932. This Quintet was written in 1922, and has four movements: Assez animi, Anime, Assez lent sans trainer, and Trés anime. (Deryck Cooke)

Last spring the Third Programme broadcast a series of talks on The Physical Basis of Mind, which is now to be repeated. The talks are especially notable for the distinction of the speakers involved. Each of the three scientists to be heard this evening is a member of the Order of Merit, each is a Nobel Prizewinner, and two are past Presidents of the Royal Society. Sir Charles Sherrington is recognised as the greatest living physiologist. His talk, which has been used as a brief for other contributors to this consideration of the mysteries of the human brain, was recorded at Sir Charles's home in December 1948, when he was ninety-one.

Act 1

John Donne
Talk by J. B. Leishman , Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Oxford University
The speaker believes that most modem critics take Donne's dialectic technique and philosophic references too seriously; he agrees with Dryden that Donne merely ' affects the Metaphysics ' and claims that, however argumentative, Donne is essentially an unphilosophic poet.
