[78-L] QUESTION FOR dl

[BURNHAM]

The part that Lone Ranger used of “Les Preludes”was where side 3 starts on the Ormandy PO recording on Victor. I admired whoever delved that deeply into a piece of music to find such an appropriate passage. I knew it was “Sambre et Meuse” but I always get those two mixed up; when I was in Grade one at Danforth Park School in Toronto, they always played “Sabre and Spurs” in the hallway as we were coming and going. 

I know dl could run circles around me in this discussion as he was far more involved in that world than I was in the early years. My involvement didn’t amount to much more than squatting in front of the large Westinghouse radio, (as I recall it was around nine feet tall), listening to the shows we’ve mentioned. 

Another one that’s just come to mind is an FBI drama that used the March from “Love of three Oranges”

As was mentioned a few weeks ago, “Sargent Preston” used “Donna Diana Overture” and the “Lone Ranger” used - (now what WAS the name of that piece?). I think the Lux Radio Theatre used the finale of Swan Lake. In the late ‘50s, CFRB had a program called “Music in HiFi at 10PM that played the end of “Marche Slav” as a theme, and either CHFI or CFRB had a classical show that used “My life is Love and Joy”. Later, CHFI’s overnight classics show used Rachmaninoff’s second Symphony slow mvt.
