15.45 : A SYMPHONY CONCERT

The BBC Midland Orchestra
Conducted by Leslie Heward
Beethoven's freak symphony, ' The Battle of Vittoria', was originally conceived for a curious mechanical instrument known as the Panharmonicon, which in some ways anticipated our modern steam organ. The first performance was not reserved for the panharmonicon, but was given at a concert in aid of the Austrian soldiers who had been wounded in the battle of Hanau. In the same programme was the first performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A.
The ' Battle' Symphony is divided into two parts, each of which falls into well-defined sections, portraying certain events of the battle between the English and the French. The first section of the first part is entitled ' Marcia : Rule, Britannia ! '
The sound of 'Rule, Britannia I ' enrages the French, and they reply with a roll on their drums and a fanfare from their trumpets which herald in the second section, ' Marcia : Marlborough ', based upon the popular tune now known as ' We won't go home till morning '.
The second part of the symphony opens with eight bars of fanfare. This is followed by a quick and spirited section, the second subject follows with ' God save the King ', and then both tunes are briefly developed. As a grand finale, the first twelve notes of our National
Anthem are treated in the form of a fugue in quick time.
