3:56 For us, French Canadiens or Quebecers, this part send us to the best drama ever done by a tv network, Les Belles Histoires des pays d'en haut, written by Claude-Henri Grignon! Thanks to the french network of CBC to give us this show!
Nostalgia city! Scene changes during Billy Bunter (The Owl Of The Remove) using this as background music, a blackboard on a school chair bearing the legend "back soon". We had proper live telly in the 1950s. Still sounds wonderful after all these years. Thank you!
I'm afraid you are wrong! But I made the same mistake when I first heard the Glazunov. The theme tune for Billy Bunter was actually from Vaughan Williams' Sea Songs ruclips.net/video/UJ73hoHHwPI/видео.html (central section) The melody is quite different, but the flavour of the music and the orchestration is very similar, which caused us both to make the same mistake.
This is fascinating! I didn't realise there were episodes of Bunter available on here; on viewing most of them I'm not convinced! The music I remember was only used during set changes - on live broadcasts - & I distinctly remember a school chair with "back soon" or similar chalked on a board propped up on it while the music played. I don't think it was the same as the opening music. I'm also certain that I watched this in London, which I left in 1957 (age 7) - when did the live performances stop? Until I see that chair with the music playing I won't be certain. Who knows? my memory has played tricks before! It was all a very long time ago ...
You've obviously found the old Bunter episodes.... ruclips.net/video/bwUzDB-KhMQ/видео.html I suppose they could have used both pieces of music at different times. They both have a kind of "gaudeamus igitur" feel to them! The episodes would have been performed and transmitted live, but recorded as they went out on the old tele-recording process, in which live pictures were recorded directly onto 16 mm film. There was a distinct loss of quality, but before the invention of a practical video-recorder, the only way TV programmes (such as Hancock) could be preserved.

Thanks for uploading this. I played this as a horn player back in the 70 in the Teesside Schools orchestra and it brings back memories
One of the loveliest performances of this great piece! Bravo!
Jarvi and the Scottish National Orchestra did some great recordings with Chandos back in the day.
