Last summer an Anglo-Turkish party set
out to examine one of the Harranian temples, where as late as the twelfth century A.D. the moon-god Sin was worshipped as he had been by the ancient Sumerians three thousand years earlier. Seton Lloyd , who directed the work in collaboration with the Turkish Antiquities Department, speaks of the significance of this curious religious survival, of the difficulties of the excavations, and of the discovery of a tablet bearing part of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Milhaud's First Symphony, compl led in Aix-en-Provence in December 1939, was commissioned by Dr. Frederick Stock for the fiftieth anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and first performed by the Orchestra during its Jubilee season in 1940 under the composer's direction. Milhaud said at the time that he was grateful for the commission, since ' it brought him back to composing in the midst of difficult and tragic even s.' The Symphony has four movements: Pastoral, Très vif, Tres modéré, and F.nal.
