Dr. Roger Fiske has arranged the music written for the first production of the play in 1768 and its revival under the title The School for Fathers in 1770. In this radio production the popular Italian airs of the period, which were interpolated, are being omitted, so that we are left with an eighteenth-century English ' musical.'

ENGLISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Leader, Emanuel Hurwitz Conducted by FREDERIK PRAUSNITZ Gunther Schuller was born in New York in 1925 and is active as a composer, conductor, and horn player. CONTOURS is a suite in five movements with linking interludes. Each movement exploits musical material derived from a different national culture. The fourth movement, Lamento, is a study in the application of baroque decorative techniques to modem music; the final movement, Chiusa, introduces controlled improvisations. Gunther Schuller's interest in jazz techniques is to some extent in evidence in this composition. Alexander Goehr
