In this work the composer brings the imagination into play by his dexterous handling of the orchestra, in describing a fantastic procession of animals and each by characteristic instruments as it passes. First we have the introduc tion and majestic march of the royal lion, immediately followed by the hens and cocks, aptly suggested by a cockcrow in the violins. Soon we see the tortoise, ponderous and slow, with the orchestra moving in broad triple' rhythm. The elephant in his turn is found among the double basses, followed by the kangaroo, orchestrated in characteristic leaps of intervals. Even the fish swimming in their pond are pictured by rippling sounds and as the ass appears he introduces himself with a bray in the violins. The woodwind. always expressive of bird life, is used to describe this, and we have the cuckoo in soft, appealing clarinet

note. When the aviary comes into view there is a burst of twittering sound from the violins and flute. Near the end of the procession the swan glides by with rippling accompaniment to his song in the 'cellos. This is frequently heard as a 'cello or violin solo, and will be recognised by many listeners. The work ends happily in the finale, as is fitting on an occasion of this kind). 8.45: Humorous sketch —Miss Gwen Shepherd and
