[78-L] War of the Worlds

[Kristjan Saag]

Well, apart from Tchaikovsky's first Piano Concerto (the theme song that 
starts and ends the show):

The first three dance orchestra pieces, played by "Ramón Raquello & His 
Orchestra" are

La Paloma
La Cumparsita
Stardust

The one played by the "Bobby Millette Orchestra" is

Love Locked Out

The first piano piece (at 9'10) is

Chopin's Nocturne, op. 9 no 2

The second piano piece (at 16'00) is

Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu

The third piano piece (at 18'20) is also Chopin, but I haven't been able 
to identify it.

There was a discussion on old.time.radio at oldradio.net many years ago 
about the music, where Brian Lee Corber reported that the two final 
orchestral pieces, apart from the end theme by Tchaikovsky, were (at 55'18):

Pelléas et Mélisande by Debussy

and (at 56'40):

...the only music in the programme composed by Bernard Herrmann, a piece 
he later used in the Jane Eyre-movie.

Times given here is for the Sinetone AMR 2011 digital issue of the 
broadcast.
