ALMOST from his boyhood Franz Schubert
(1797-1828) was writing songs that were afterwards to ba famous. Tn the course of his lamentably short life, lived obscurely in Vienna, he wrote over six hundred. Before his day the art of song-writing was surrounded with formalities; even Handel and Mozart, who wrote many great songs, or Arias as they were more often called, bowed to the conventions that prescribed the shape of their songs and almost the type of melody that was permissible. The genius of Schubert, a bom creator of melodies, threw off these fetters. He was a lyrical poet in sounds who wrote as his inspiration directed. Graceful, buoyant, grim, dramatic, tragic, numerous, informal, formal-every kind of melody or mood came to his mind and pen, spontaneously and naturally, at tile suggestion of a poet's verse.
So Schubert freed the art of song-writing, and the world has been beholden to him ever since. But none has rivalled the pioneer and master.

Throughout the week at this hour Mr. Flotsam and Mr. JETSAM will give a MUSICAL NEWS BULLETIN composed and sung by themselves
MR. FLOTSAM and Mr. Jetsam' are specialists in a form of humour new to this country-the rapid resume, in patter verse, with a running fire of humorous comment, of the previous day's news. Although they have never broadcast before, their type of humour is admirably suited to broadcasting, and they should do much to enliven the evening programmes throughout this week.
