A lavender background has the text 'Roger Quilter, composer.' written as a title in large purple letters. A black and white portrait of a white man is in the bottom right, and next to it on the left is the quote "The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet, Young lovers meet" with 'From: 'The Pretty Birds Do Sing'' written underneath.

Black text on a lavender background reads 'About the composer: Roger Quilter was born on 1st November, 1877, in Brighton. He was born to a wealthy family , and was privileged to attend Eton College. Quilter is best known for his settings of text to music - his light music. He composed for orchestra occasionally, and although perfectly capable of doing so, was put off from orchestral composition due to his disbelief in his orchestral arranging skills. He, and his family, knew that he was a homosexual from a young age. His family appear to have been exceptionally accepting of this, considering the illegality and attitudes of homosexuality at the time. Quilter struggled throughout his life with his health, both physical and mental. On 21st September 1953, he passed away at his home in London.' Underneath the text is an artistic drawing of music stanza.

Black text on a lavender background reads: 'About the piece we're playing: Where the Rainbow Ends was originally composed to accompany the play of the same name. The play was based on the book (again of the same name) by Clifford Mills. The story follows a brother and sister (Crispian and Rosamund), who's parents are missing after being shipwrecked. The children are looked after by their wicked Aunt Matilda and Uncle Joseph. Crispian and Rosamund have a pet lion cub (Cubby). The siblings discover a book called ' Where the Rainbow Ends' in their uncle's library which tells them of a land where all loved ones that are lost, are found. They leave their wicked relatives and go on a journey to the Land Where the Rainbow Ends, experiencing a magic carpet, a genie, a Sea Witch, and Elves. Eventually, they are reunited with their parents at the farthest reaches of the Land Where the Rainbow Ends. Quilter composed the music for the first production of the play, and included a song (the Slumber Song), but no other singing was interspersed into the dialogue. This music was popular, and the play received Royal endorsement in 1935 when Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were in the audience. We will be playing the 'Where the Rainbow Ends Suite' which is a selection of five pieces from the original full production.'

A brief look at the first composer of Sunday's concert - Roger Quilter.
