At THE ORGAN of THE TROCADERO CINEMAELEPHANT AND CASTLE
SULLIVAN'S father was an Irish soldier who rose to be Sergeant of the Band at Sandhurst and later a professor at Kneller Hall , the Royal Military School of Musio where all Army bands-men are trained. Young Sullivan picked up his training there, too, and, as it turned out, could not have found a better school. His father died when Sullivan was twenty-four, and this overture is a handsome and moving tribute to his memory.

From THE PAVILION, BOURNEMOUTH (First Performance)
(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
NORMAN DEMUTH is known by name to listeners of these concerts, his music having been a regular feature of them for the past few years. Listeners may remember his Symphony in D Minor, broadcast from Bournemouth last year. Born in Croydon, he was educated at St. George's, Windsor, Repton, and the Royal College of Music. However, he confesses that, in the big forms of composition for the orchestra he is completely self-taught. He is now Professor of Composition at the Royal Academy of Music. The present Nocturne was inspired from La Butte do Montmartre, and in its pages, as in actual fact, modem idiom and the romantic spirit dwell on that famous hill contentedly together.

SONGS OF HAYDN sung by JOHN ARMSTRONG and JOAN COXONJOHN ARMSTRONG
Un tetto umil (A little House) Der Gleichsinn (Sympathy)
Trost unglucklicher Liebe (Love's Consolation) Der ersto Kuss (The first Kiss)
Eine sehr gewöhnliche Gcschichte (A very familiar Story)
Liebes Miidehen , hor mir zu (Listen to me, sweet Maiden)
Das Leben ist oin Traum (Life is a Dream)
Die zu spate Ankunft der Mutter (Mother came too late)'
HAYDN was not a bookish man, and he was quite content that his publisher should select verses for him to set. His only preference was for the arch, the sentimental, and the minor forms of melancholy. Apart from this, it did not seem to occur to him that the author of the verses had an identity, for he never put the author's name on his manuscript, or troubled his head at all about him. Consequently, he got only the kind of words he deserved.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
