Part 1
This is the last of the series of concerts including litanies and vespers by Mozart. There will be another performance tomorrow evening at 9.0.
Mozart wrote music for the Serivce of Vespers on two occasions, in 1779 and in 1780, both at Salzburg: the Vesperae solennes de Confessore belongs to the second date. Its title indicates rhat it wee intended for use on one of the saints' days, since on his own day a saint may act as confessor and mediator. There are six sections. The first five, each a sotting of a separate psalm, are Dixit Dominus, Confilebor, Bealus vir, Laudate pueri, and Laudate Dominum (well known as a separate aria). The last section is a setting of the Magnificat. D.C.

Talk by W. Ellison
Professor of Crop Husbandry.
University College of Wales,
Aberystwyth
The main theme of Professor Ellison's talk is what should be classified as marginal land and What should not. He discusses the possibilities of increasing the output of grass and crops in marginal areas, and considers how to raise more store sheep and cattle which, when fattened, would help to increase Britain's scanty meat supplies.
To be repeated on March 4. See p. 3
