Conducted by Frank Bridge
'There is a Willow'
Frank Bridge's impression for small orchestra, ' There is a Willow', is based on the Queen's tale of Oohelia's death. Many listeners will remember the lines:-
There with fantastic garlands did she come.
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples. and when the willow broke, and she
... fell in the weeping brook, her clothes spread wide.
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up ;
What time she chanted snatches of old tunes until her heavy garments pull'd her down to death. But vividly as the few phrases can bring a picture of the tragedy before us-poignant and tender in its sorrow—Bridge's music is not to be taken as illustrating it line by line ; it is just a reflection of its.mood.
Dvorak's Fourth Symphony
When he was invited to conduct at a concert of the London Phil harmonic Society in 1890, Dvorak brought with him the score and parts of a new symphony, which was exceedingly well received. This was the Fourth Symphony (Op. 88, in G), one of his most delightful works, brim-full of lovely melody and scored with. those transparent orchestral colours that infallibly proclaim the hand of Dvorak.
No other composer has ever come so near to Schubert's ' linked sweetness long drawn out ', and this symphony is one of the most Schubertian of all his works.

including Weather ForecastAbout 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.
