Wednesday Evening, May 14
"THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER" . John Stafford Smith (1750-1836) Chorus, Audience, Orchestra and Organ
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
Francis Scott Kby.
It is not necessary at this time to recall the circumstances attending the creation of the text of this national song, and there are but few who have not learned that the melody is an importation. Mr. Oscar G. Sonneck, in his scholarly monograph "The Star Spangled Banner" (Library of Congress, Washington, D. C, 1914), has offered conclusive evidence to prove that "To Anacreon in Heaven," the afore-said melody, was composed by John Stafford Smith circa 1777. To those who would study the sub­ject thoroughly the above-quoted work is recommended, but for the present purpose, it is better to ignore all questions of origin and, realizing its present import, join in a united tribute of song to the "broad stripes and bright stars" of the flag we love.
OVERTURE, "The Russian Easter," Op. 36, Rimsky-Korsakow
Nikolas Andrejvitch Rimsky-Korsakow was born at Tikvin (Russia), March 21, 1844; died at Petrograd, June 4, 1908.
On June 4, 1908, the writer of these analyses was on his way to the Opera Comique Paris, to attend a performance of the "Snow Maiden," one of this eminent composer's most important operas, when, just as he was passing a telegraph-office, a telegram was being posted announcing his death. This naturally called to mind his career, which, to condense the record of a lifetime into one sentence, was not only honorable to him, but was also an inspiration to the group of Russian composers to whose combined activity the Neo-Russian School owes its existence.
The overture on our program is one of his most genial inspirations, and, as it is based on two very appropriate verses from the Psalms, and the New Testament account of the Resurrection, it is a fitting introduction to a Festival falling in what we trust is a new birth of political idealism and freedom. These texts appear on the fly14 Official Program Book
leaf of the score, and, as the composer intended that they should be considered in connection with the work, they are herewith appended:
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.--Psalm LXVII.
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had brought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the doors of the sepulchre
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment: and they were affrighted.
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen.--St. Mark, XVI.
And the joyful tidings were spread abroad all over the world, and they who hated Him fled before Him, vanishing like smoke.
"Resurrexit!" sing the choirs of Angels in heaven, to the sound of the Arch­angels' trumpets and the fluttering of the wings of the Seraphim. "Resurrexit!" sing the priests in the temples, in the midst of clouds of incense, by the light of innumerable candles, to the chiming of triumphant bells.
"La Grande Paque Russe"--the original title--was written in 1888, but not pub­lished until two years later. It is scored for the modern orchestra, and is introduced by a Russian Church melody-D minor, Lento Mystico, 5-2 time--which is utilized in whole or in part as the overture runs its course. That it follows the suggestions of the text is indicated by the sequence of the marks of expression and tempi-Andante Lugubre, sempre alia breve; Allegro agitato, D minor, 2-2 time; Poco sostenuto e tranquillo (the second subject in E minor) ; and Maestoso. In the "recapitulation" section the second subject appears in G major, and is given new dress. From begin­ning to end the pronounced individuality of the composer comes to evidence, indeed, now-a-days, as never before, a distinctive individual note must be present if a compo­sition is to maintain itself in the orchestral repertoire.
ARIA, "My native land no more shall I behold," from "Aida," VERDI
Miss Rosa PonseiaE.
Fortunio Giuseppe Francisco Verdi was born at Le Roncole, October 9, 1813; died at Milan, January 17, 1901.
Le Roncole was the name given to a small cluster of laborers' houses, a short distance from Busseto--at that time in the Duchy of Parma. Dame Fortune must have watched over this child of genius, for in 1814 Russian and Austrian troops passing through Le Roncole ruthlessly massacred women and children, and young Guiseppe was saved only by the presence of mind of his mother, who, taking him in her arms,
First Concert 15
climbed up a narrow ladder into the belfry of the church, and hid herself and her baby in some lumber until the drunken troops left the hamlet. No wonder Sandra Belloni, in George Meredith's novel of the same name, in the most impassioned manner takes herself to task that she, an Italian, should be carried away by Beethoven's music, when he "lived in Austria and ate Austrian bread." Later, while yet a young boy, Guiseppe fell into a deep canal, and was rescued by a peasant woman, when, chilled and exhausted by the icy water, he was being carried under. Of his early reverses and successes we may not speak, although their record makes an intensely interesting and instructive story, for we are now more concerned with his work as the composer of the masterly opera from which the first aria on our program is drawn.
"Aida" was written for the Khedive of Egypt and was given its first performance in Cairo, December 24, 1871; in Milan, February 8, 1872. It was given in New York in 1873, three years before its first performance in Paris. Contemporary writers give conflicting accounts of the general effect of the first performance, but of the character of the music, its dramatic power, its gorgeous instrumentation, its captivating melodies there was nothing but the highest praise nor has the criticism of later generations sounded a discordant note.
The aria of which we give the text, occurs in Act IV.
Aida-My native land no more, no more shall I behold! O sky of azure hue, breezes softly blowing, Whose smiling glances saw my young life unfold. Fair verdant hillsides, oh streamlets gently flowing, Thee, oh, my country, no more shall I behold! Yes, fragrant valleys, your sheltering bowers, Once 'twas my dream, should love's abode hang o'er; Perish'd those dreams now like winter-blighted flowers, Land of my fathers, ne'er shall I see thee more!
SYMPHONY in B flat Chausson
Lent-Allegro vivo; Tres lent; Anime
Ernest Chausson was born at Paris, June, 21, 1855; died at Limay, June 10, 1899.
Like many of the most distinguished French composers of recent decades, Chausson was so fortunate as to come into close touch both as a student and a man with that rare spirit, Cesar Franck. Somewhat out of touch with the atmosphere of the Con­servatoire, then dominated by Jules Massenet, it was fortunate for him, and for art, that he so soon came under the guidance of a man whose vision extended beyond the confines of routine and tradition. Possibly, Chausson cannot be called a prolific com­poser, which is not at all to his discredit, but his creative activity from 1878 up to his tragic death in 1889, displayed itself in a goodly number of compositions in all the serious forms. The symphony on our program was completed in 1890; was performed
16 Official Program Book
in Paris in 1891 and 1892, in Brussels in 1896, and in Chicago in 1898. It has had frequent repetitions in the latter city and has always been received with enthusiasm. In form, orthodox; in content, responsive to modern ideals; in workmanship, per­meated by the exquisite clarity and delicacy of color characteristic of the best products of the composers of his native country, the symphony conveys its message so convinc­ingly that, with the expression marks of the combining movements as guides it cannot fail to secure responsive appreciation. To give a technical analysis is not our purpose for, to the uninitiated such analyses are caviare, and to the initiated unnecessary. Still, as we have two other symphonies on our programs, the following statement of the form, as such, is given. This gives the formal scheme of the sonata and symphony, and indicates the general relation of the various parts to the whole. It will, in all probability, be skipped by the majority, but those who read it carefully may find it of assistance.
To fully comprehend the structural characteristics of the sonata form, of which the symphony is the highest expression, it must be stated that the term has two quite distinct meanings. The first refers to a cyclical form which includes several com­plete and contrasting movements; the second is generally applied to the first move­ment alone, and is now used in that sense. It must be borne in mind, however, that, although in the majority of symphonies the first movement is the only one in this specific form, the principles of development, and to a certain extent the formal means of their application, may condition any or all of the remaining movements.
A movement written in this form is divided into three sections. In the first, the "exposition," we have two principal subjects, in different keys, which give us the thoughts or emotional expressions the composer wishes to enunciate. These subjects are separated by a section called the "modulatory phrase". Through this the first subject merges into the second instead of the two standing shoulder to shoulder--as it were. The artistic reason for this procedure is quite obvious. As, in a strict inter­pretation of the form, the entire first section is repeated, it becomes necessary for this and other reasons to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion through a closing sub­ject, or theme. This necessity seems to be less urgent in these days, for the repetition is observed less frequently.
These themes contain infinite possibilities, the revealing of which is the function of the second division, the "illustration" or "development". The processes in the second division are often so complex, and introduce so many transformations of the leading subjects, as well as extraneous matter, that herein lies the necessity for the repetition of the first section. The third division, the "recapitulation," follows the formal structure of the first, gives the various contrasts between the two most import­ant subjects save that of key, and the thematic material is treated in the light of the fuller insight gained through the other divisions. This division closes with a "coda," which, instead of being perfunctory in nature as in the early days of the form, under Beethoven's hand developed into a part of the organic structure.
It will be seen from this, of necessity inadequate, explanation of the form, that acquaintance with the salient characteristics of the leading themes is a better prep­aration for the enjoyment of a work than the perusal of a tabulated description in quasi-technical language. For this reason, whenever possible, most of the principal themes are given in notation and the "quasi-technical language" is restricted to a minimum.

First Concert 17
ARIA, "One fine Day," from "Madame Butterfly," Puccini
Miss Ponssus
Giacomo Puccini was born at Lucca (Italy), 1858; still living.
Called by Verdi the most promising of his successors, Puccini, who today may be said to dominate modern opera composers, has justified the master's prophecy by a career of uninterrupted success from the date of his first dramatic hostage to For­tune (Le Villi, Milan, 1884) up to his very latest.
In the story of "Madame Butterfly (Milan, 1904) the East and the West mingle, with but little of glory to the latter. Butterfly's (Cho-Cho-San) weary years of wait­ing for the faithless lover, who gave his promise that he would return "when robin redbreasts rebuild their nests," were made possible by the comforting reflection that, though "Here they have built them thrice already, over there I thought they might do so more rarely". When his friend told her that the lover had returned, but with an American wife, poor Cho-Cho-San could find no outlet for her despair but suicide, for she could "no longer live with honor."
The aria (Act II) noted above details Butterfly's naive description of what her fancy tells her will happen when her lover returns to claim his bride, who is now a mother. All this is told to convince her serving maid, Suzuke, who is confident that she sees the situation as it really exists.
The text runs as follows:
Butterfly.--One fine day we'll notice A thread of smoke arising on the sea In the far horizon, And then the ship appearing; Then the trim, white vessel Glides into the harbor, Thunders forth her cannon. See you Now he is coming! I do not go to meet him. Not I! I stay upon the brow of the hillock, And wait there for a long time, But never weary of the long waiting.
From out the crowded city
There is coming a man,
A little speck in the distance,
Climbing the hillock.
Can you guess who it is
And when he's reached the summit,
Can you guess what he'll say
He will call "Butterfly" from the distance. ' '
I, without answ'ring,
Hold myself quietly concealed,
i8 Official Program Book
A bit to tease him, and so as not to die
At our first meeting: and then, a little troubled,
He will call, "Dear baby wife of mine,
Dear little orange blossom,"
The names he used to call me when he came here.
This will all come to pass as I tell you. Banish your idle fears, For he will return; I know it!
Norwegian Rhapsody, --------Edouard Lalo was born at Lille, January 27, 1828; died at Paris, April 23, 1892.
This work, first performed in Paris, April 20, 1879, under the title, "Rapsodie Norvegienne," is another proof of the versatility of the composer who could write the "Symphonie Espagnole" (1875), which, by the way, is a composition for violin solo with orchestra. Some of the material used in the later work was drawn from the earlier, but it also includes sufficient suggestions of the Northland to justify its title.
The Rhapsody is scored for the modern orchestra, and is divided into two parts. In the introductory section--A major, Andantino, 6-8 time--the strings announce the theme, which, in the main development--A major, Allegretto, 4-4 time--is given to the clarinet and further developed by the first violins against a background of chords by the harp and the remaining strings pizzicato.
In the second part--D minor, Presto, 3-4 time--the trumpets sound the subject fortissimo. After a long theme given out by the G strings of the violins, and the utilization of episodical material, the movement is brought to an end as it began, through the proclamation of the principal subject by the trumpets.
RECITATIVE AND ARIA, "Love, Fly on Rosy Pinions," Vbrdi
from "II Trovatore"
Miss Ponseixe
Since its first production, on January 19, 1853, at the Apollo Theatre, Rome, "II Trovatore"--a product of what is frequently (some of us think, erroneously,) called Verdi's most brilliant period--has enjoyed unusual popularity. Notwithstand­ing the great advance in the master's art since this opera was written, the records of our opera houses--not excluding the receipts at the box office--show that the charm of his early type of melody is still potent. Singers delight in his arias, for he was so consummate a master of vocal art and so observant of the restrictions, as well as the possibilities of the voice, that while they demand absolute mastery, they are always singable, therefore they invariably delight the average listener. This
First Concert ' 19
consideration for the operatic artist is not always shown by modern composers, for they occasionally expect a singer to negotiate passages better adapted to a violin or 'cello than the voice, not ignoring the fact that, when in a climax they "let loose the dogs of war" in the orchestra, a trumpet or trombone would better serve the pur­pose. Verdi was a real master of the orchestra and knew how to utilize its mani­fold resources in a manner quite in consonance with the dictum of Marco da Gagliano I57o--)-stated in the Preface to "Dafne" (January, 1608), from which we quote-"The function of the accompaniment (orchestra) is to bring the music and action into proper relation to each other; to support the song without spoiling the under­standing of the text."
The aria on our program is taken from Act IV ,and immediately precedes the famous, though now somewhat hackneyed, "Miserere."
The text, in English translation, is given below:
Leonora.--Leave me, say no more; Here I would awhile be lonely; Who knows but I may save him. Why fear for me my safeguard ever I have thee near me! ¦ ¦ The night is dark and threat'ning,
And here I wander near thy dungeon,
Oh, my belov'd one! Ye sighing breezes, I hear lamenting, Ohl fly and tell him his love doth near him linger.
. , Love, fly on rosy pinions,
Float in a dream around him. ; Bear to the captive some repose,
Ah! with thy spell surround him. A breath of hope, oh, send thou, His lonely hours attend thou; In memory, oh, waft him
The visions of our happy days. .
But tell him not my heart will break, If Fate evermore our hope betray, If Fortune our hope e'er betrays.
March and Hymn to Democracy, --..... Stock
Frederic A. Stock was born November 11, 1872, at Julich; still living.
This March and Hymn to Democracy was begun in December, 1918, and com­pleted January 24, 1919, in Chicago. Concerning the significance of his work, Mr. Stock has contributed the following:
"In times like those of today--times at once overwhelmingly great and serious and tragic--when the minds of all people are filled to overflowing with those epochao Official Program Book
making events that are crowding every page of modern history, it would seem to be altogether natural that composers should be moved to express through the lan­guage of their muse, however illusive and evanescent they may be, thoughts which are the reflection of the times. Conceived in the spirit of our day, a spirit, indeed, of world-wide turbulence and strife, but also a spirit imbued with unending hope and implicit faith in the ultimate regeneration of humanity, this piece of music is both a march and a song. The march in its sturdy rhythm suggests forceful, ele­mental impulses of humanity in its unceasing progress toward the goal of freedom, while the 'Song' or 'Hymn' glorifies democracy as the salvation of humanity and civilization."
The work employs all the resources of the modern orchestra. As the orchestral score is not available, the following full analysis by Felix Borowski -given in the Program Notes of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for February 28 and March 1-is appended:
"The work begins with introductory material, with the bass drum sounding as if from a distance; a harp figure which follows is one extensively used throughout the first part of the march, and this is followed by a suggestion of the main subject, rhythmically presented by the kettledrums. The principal theme appears in the vio­loncellos, pianissimo, these instruments giving it out almost alone. The subject is taken up by the first violins, the harp figure being continually in evidence. The wood­wind now negotiates the theme. A subsidiary subject follows, partly in the strings and partly in the woodwind. This is developed and leads to the second theme in the horns, the other brasses carrying it on, and the strings accompanying with a broken-chord figure. At the repetition sleighbells and the glockenspiel are added. The first theme returns in the brasses. The two subjects are worked over, and with an augmentation of the first subject, a great climax is attained. Note the motive, originally given to the harp at the beginning, now in the higher strings and wood­winds. After a diminuendo and a rallentando, the Trio is announced. The material of this Trio is a Hymn to Democracy, its subject given out by the strings, the har­mony being sustained by the organ and a strumming figure in the harps. There is a fanfare in the trumpets, leading into a repetition of the Hymn to Democracy in the woodwinds, the harmony now being held by the strings, pizzicato, and by the wind. Reminiscences of the march theme are presented in the horns and trumpets, and sud­denly the sound of the snare and tenor drums is heard, the subsidiary portion of the main theme being given to the piccolos, the trumpets answering them. The march rhythms are worked over with ever increasing force of tone. Another rallen­tando is followed by a slow section {Quasi adagio), based on the Hymn to Democ­racy. A cumulative crescendo culminates in a great climax, which once more leads to a resumption of the march subject. An organ-point on the low B flat is heard, and over it snatches of the principal theme. There is given out, too, a diminution of the march subject in six extra trumpets, the organ-point always continuing. An immense climax is built up, the Hymn to Democracy entering at its culminating point in the full orchestra and organ. A coda, based on former material, brings the work to a conclusion."

SECOND CONCERT
Thursday Evening, May 15
HYMNUS--"Fair Land of Freedom," for Soli, Chorus, Orchestra and
Organ, ----------Stanley
Soloists
Miss Lois Marjorie Johnston, Soprano Mr. Robert Richard Dieterle, Baritone
This hymn is offered by the chorus and its conductor as a patriotic introduction to the program of the evening. It is intended to voice our feelings in regard to the home-land, which we feel is an incorporation of the highest type of democratic ideals.
The hymn is built up on two main themes: the first, to the words "Fair Land of Freedom" -E major, Allegro con spirito, 3-4 time -is given out by the chorus after a short orchestral introduction (8 measures). The second theme, heard first as a baritone solo--"Soul-stirring Truth is the trumpet-tongued angel"--is developed into a chorale in the final section. The material of the first theme is utilized between the first appearance and climacteric statement of the second. At the words, "Free to our portals we welcome as ever Exiles for conscience akin to our sires," a short soprano solo--B major--accompanied by an eight-part chorus, appears, which leads into a condensed fugal section--E minor, 4-4 time--"Freedom! Soul Freedom I Thou kindlest devotion!" Following this section, consisting of the first exposition of the theme and a suggestion of a stretto, comes the final chorale--3-4 time--a setting of the same text.
Fair Land of Freedom, break forth into singing,
Praise, ye glad people, the Father Divine; Out of great treasures, with gratitude bringing,
Lay your new offering on Liberty's shrine. Ancestors' memories sacredly keeping,
Hallow in song their illustrious deeds; : Millions the fields from their sowing are reaping,
Chanting thanksgivings in concord of creeds.
Soul-stirring Truth is the trumpet-tongued angel,
Waking the world with her voice from above; Here in the wild was proclaimed that evangel,
Here rose a temple to brotherly love. 1 Guarding from peril fraternity's altar;
Consecrate refuge for spirits oppressed; Owning the ancient and catholic psalter;
Anthem of Bethlehem heard in the West.
22 Official Program Book
Jubilant sing we our homeland of beauty,
Favored of God and exalted in name; Foremost and fearless in patriot duty,
Wearing her scars and escutcheons of fame. Splendid at birth, as the star of the morning,
Struggling alone with the tempest and gloom, Now, with a host, our republic adorning,
Joying in liberty's far-spreading home.
Free to our portals we welcome as ever Exiles for conscience akin to our sires;
Bound in a fellowship naught may dissever, Keeping aglow the original fires.
Freedom! Soul Freedom! Thou kindlest devotion;
Herald of Mercy, Great Breaker of Chains! Breathe o'er the earth, like the winds o'er the ocean;
Nations upraised shall re-echo thy strains.
The Rev. F. Denison.
"MUSIC," an Ode for Mixed Chorus, Soli and Orchestra, Op. 75, Haduy
Henry Kimbaix Hadley Born at Somerville, Mass., December 20, 1871; still living.
Soloists
Miss Lois M. Johnston, Soprano. Mrs. Merle Alcock, Contralto. Mr. Arthur Hackett, Tenor. Mr. Gustaf Holmquist, Bass.
In Henry Kimball Hadley, we have a composer of whom America can justly be proud. Displaying marked ability as a pianist and violinist at a very early age--he, at the same time, gave convincing proofs of the creative ability so signally displayed in his later years. His first serious composition, an overture, "Hector and Androm­ache," was composed by him at the age of twenty and performed in New York under Walter Damrosch's direction. In 1894 he pursued his studies in Vienna and there under Eusebius Mandysczewski and Hermann Caillag, he composed his Ballet-Suite No. 3, which won wide and flattering recognition. During Mr. Hadley's incumbency of the position of Director of the Department of Music in St. Paul's School, Garden City, Long Island, he composed two symphonies, two overtures, an important cantata, the "Oriental Suite," one hundred and fifty songs, and the incidental music to two plays. In 1904 he again went to Europe, where he continued composing and functioned as conductor in important music-centers on the Continent. During this period he wrote one of his mosti successful orchestral works, a tone-poem "Salome," and a rhapsody "The Culprit Fay," both of which have remained in the repertoire of the great orchestras.
Second Concert ' 23
In 1911 he conducted a symphony orchestra in Seattle, followed by four years as conductor of the San Francisco Orchestra.
As it is impossible to give in detail the incidents of his successful career--pausing only to refer to the fact that Mr. Hadley has written three successful operas, and that a fourth has been accepted for performance by the Metropolitan Opera Co.-attention must be called to the work through which he will appeal to our music-lovers.
"Music, an Ode," set to a text by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, was first performed at the Worcester County Music Festival in 1917, it having been especially written for that occasion.
The work is divided into ten main sections, each illustrating some phase of music's power of expression, and so arranged in sequence as to lead to an irresistible climax at the end. That a subject so filled with subtle nuances and dramatic contrasts, could be worthily set only by a composer of versatility, breadth of concept, and mastery of material [goes without saying. An extended analysis is forbidden at this time for lack of space, but its wealth of beauty, important structural details, and certain significant and individual treatments of both voices and instruments must be pointed out.
The Prelude--Andante con languore, 3-4 time--introduces a singularly expressive and plastic motif, which is heard later in various environments and in thereby con­ditioned transformations. It may be considered one of the most important and basic motifs of the entire work. Through the subtle use of an elastic tonality, and the introduction of a new theme logically conditioned by the development of the prin­cipal motif, the orchestral prelude establishes what in painting we term "atmosphere," and ends in a pianissimo chord, C flat minor.
This heralds the chorus, also pianissimo, which, after five measures in the enharmonic equivalant of the final chord in the orchestra (b minor), leads into F sharp major with a lovely melody for the sopranos--"When pierced with pain, and bitter sweet delight, she knew her Love," etc. At this point the orchestra enters, with a statement of the original motif by clarinet. At the words "Thou art the Angel of the pool that sleeps," the solo quartet is introduced and the solo voices are heard episodically as this first division proceeds to its final climax. Into all the harmonic and melodic treatments, into which the element of surprise frequently enters, we may not peer. Nor is it necessary, for the music is a perfect reflex of the text. This chorus is so prophetic of still other sources of keen enjoyment, which will reveal themselves as the work progresses, that it will repay closer study than is usually given by listeners. The key to its understanding is the opening motif.
Following this is a splendid baritone solo, "Where wilt Thou lead me first"-D flat major, moderato tranquilly, 4-4 time--which in turn yields to No. Ill "Play Song"--F major, Allegretto giocoso, 3-4 time--in which the sopranos and altos, figuring as children, indulge at first in a melodious canon with the tenors, and later in alternate bursts of broadly-phrased melody. After the quartette, ''The world is far away," the chorus brings ''That olden, golden roundelay" to a close. A short incidental motif "Ah!" is again heard in the final chorus of the work and the material of the orchestral introduction figures in the Intermezzo.
Part IV. Whether out of deference to a logical sequence or not, the "Play Song" is followed by a "Sleep Song"--F major, moderato, ma dolce e gentile, 6-8 time
24 Official Program Book
--which is surcharged with exquisite effects in which there is no small measure of subtlety. Then comes a glorious "Hunting Song" No. V.--G major, Allegro energico, 9-8 time--than which no more stirring male chorus has appeared in modern choral literature. No. VI. is devoted to the dance, the first a Minuet--E flat major, Tempo di Minuetto, 3-4 time--for women's voices followed by mixed chorus; the second a brilliant Waltz, for Soprano solo--B flat major, Tempo di Valse, 3-8 time.
"Break off! Dance no more!" shouted fortissimo by the chorus, directs our atten­tion to the more serious aspects of life dominating the "War Music,'' Part VII, beginning with a strongly-marked motive in the bass instruments--D minor, Moderato e maestoso, 4-4 time--which in connection with forceful trumpet calls conditions the first part up to the male chorus, "Men who are ready to fight for their country's cause"--D minor, Allegro risoluto, 12-8 time. Appeals to arms follow each other in quick succession. The chorus, "Call again, trumpet call again"; the march, beginning "Do yon hear the storm of cheers" (sopranos) ; utterances by the various parts, culminating in a short but compelling choral climax, lead into a section in which the tenors and basses, supported by a vivid treatment of the orchestral forces, proclaim the terrors of battle; "The hoarse roar of the monster guns"; "The rifle's clatter"; not forgetting the ravages of the "deadly gas'" and ending in a triumphant sustained chord--C major, molto moderato e maestoso--a real climax. Then the full chorus-"This done at last! The victory won." Separated from this by a short organ interlude, in the severe style so characteristic of the instrument at its best, and "taps" by the trumpets, the quartet sings softly, "O Music, mourn the dead"--A flat, andante, 4-4 time. Again the trumpets sound "taps" and in response comes the quartet--"Then lead into the song that made their spirit strong" (in B flat). The tempo now changes from Andante to Allegro moderato, and a brilliant violin passage heralds the final chorus--also in B flat, but in 3-4 time--"Thank God we can see, in the glory of morn, the invincible flag that our fathers defended." This is a fine utilization of the spirit of the "Star Spangled Banner," the last four measures of its music bringing the "War Music" to a triumphant ending.
More peaceful phases of music's utterance are invoked in Part VIII, in which the different movements of the symphony are happily illustrated. The music is subtly expressive of the various moods conditioning the creation of a symphony and reflects the characteristics of the combining forms. Regretting the necessity of condensation, certain out-standing features will be noted. Attention is called to the suave melodies beginning at the words: "Like some bewildered bird," continuing through to the delicate Intermezzo (for wind-instruments) which represents the Scherzo, and con­ditioning the quiet measures describing and defining the Adagio. The full chorus, singing "Toward the allegro's wide bright sea--C major, Allegro brillante, 4-4 time-introduces the final movement of the symphony. This will be immediately recognized as worthy of its subject, and the massive choral-like ending cannot fail to impress the listener as a fitting climax to this apotheosis of a form in which some of the greatest creations of the masters have been molded.
Of Part IX, "Iris," it only needs to be said that it is highly poetical, while Part X "Sea and Shore," with its alternations of solo voices and chorus, develops into an irresistible climacteric expression of all that is noblest in the art whose manifold implications are treated in this truly inspired work.

Second Concert 25
This closing section of a remarkable work includes certain features deserving special mention. After the chorus, "Bathe me in pure delight," and heralded by the organ, a reminiscence of a naive motive from the "Play Song" is heard. Then comes a glorious fugue, "Until at last we find the life to love resigned"--E flat, Allegro, 4-4 time -based on a theme so melodious and virile with a scholarly development so natural and compelling that the whole section is a negation of Berlioz's saying-"One should know how to write a fugue but should never write one." Parenthetically suggesting that, judging from the French master's attempts in this form, this dictum appears to be a musical version of "sour grapes," attention must be directed to the magnificent proclamation, by the full orchestra, of the basic motive in the form heard at the words, "When pierced with pain" (at the beginning of the prelude), following the choral-like final section by the chorus. This is an outstanding proof of Mr. Hadley's modernity no less than his power of sustained thought. Unlike this work, many products of ultra-modern composers stop, but do not end.
The delicate, colorful, yet forceful manipulation of the well-nigh infinite resources of the modern orchestra in evidence from the first note to the last will impress the intelligent listener, and the knowledge and skill necessary to attain such results will no less surely compel the admiration of the trained musician. As is inevitable, modern concepts of tonality, rhythm, harmonic and melodic schemes, etc., condition the entire score. No thinking musician would have it otherwise, for the plasticity won by such extensions of basic principles as appear to "stand-patters" to be sub­versions, has made music more and more responsive to the ever-increasing and con­stantly-changing demands of the world in which we now live. These general state­ments, while they stop short of details, may aid in the establishment of a point of view. Possibly a perusal of the text given below may be helpful. If it be not con­sidered offensive, it should be stated that, to listen to a great work to the best advantage one should consult all available information before rather than during the performance.
Prelude
Daughter of Psyche, pledge of that
last night
When, pierced with pain and bitter­sweet delight, She knew her Love and saw her Lord
depart, Then breathed her wonder and her
woe forlorn
Into a single cry, and thou wast born! Thou flower of rapture and thou fruit
of grief;
Invisible enchantress of the heart; Mistress of charms that bring relief To sorrow, and to joy impart A heavenly tone that keeps it unde-filed.-Thou art the child Of Amor, and by right divine A throne of love is thine,
Thou flower-folded, golden-girdled, star-crowned Queen,
Whose bridal beauty mortal eyes have never seen!
Thou art the Angel of the pool that
sleeps, While peace and joy lie hidden in its
deeps, Waiting thy touch to make the waters
roll In healing murmurs round the weary
soul.
Ah, when wilt thou draw near, Thou messenger of mercy robed in
song My lonely heart has listened for thee
long;
And now I seem to hear Across the crowded market-place of
life Thy measured foot-fall, ringing light
and clear
26 Officuil Program Book
Above the unmeaning noises and the
unruly strife;
In quiet cadence, sweet and slow, Serenely pacing to and fro, Thy far-off steps are magical and
dear. Ah, turn this way, come close and
speak to me! From this dull bed of languor set my
spirit free,
And bid me rise, and let me walk awhile with thee!
II
Where wilt thou lead me first In what still region
Of thy domain, Whose provinces are legion, Wilt thou restore me to myself again, And quench my heart's long thirst I pray thee lay thy golden girdle down, And put away thy starry crown; For one dear, restful hour Assume a state more mild. Clad only in thy blossom-broidered
gown That breathes familiar scent of many
a flower,
Take the low path that leads thro' pas­tures green;
And though thou art a Queen, Be Rosamund awhile, and in thy bower, By tranquil love and simple joy beguiled, Sing to my soul, as mother to her child.
Ill Play Song
O lead me by the hand, And let my heart have rest, And bring me back to childhood land, To find again the long-lost band Of playmates blithe and blest.
Some quaint, old-fashioned air, That all the children knew, Shall run before us everywhere, Like a little maid with flying hair, To guide the merry crew,
Along the garden ways We chase the light-foot tune, And in and out the flowery maze, With eager haste and fond delays, In pleasant paths of June.
For us the fields are new, For us the woods are rife
With fairy secrets, deep and true, And heaven is but a tent of blue Above the game of life.
The world is far away:
The fever and the fret, And all that makes the heart grow
gray,
Is out of sight and far away, Dear Music, while I hear thee play That olden, golden roundelay,
"Remember and forget!"

StEEP Song Forget, forget! The tide of life is turning; The waves of light ebb slowly down the
west: Along the edge of dark some stars are
burning To guide thy spirit safely to an isle of
rest. A little rocking on the tranquil
deep
Of song, to soothe thy yearning, A little slumber and a little sleep, And so, forget, forget!
Forget, forget,-The day was long in pleasure; Its echoes die away across the hill; Now let thy heart beat time to their
slow measure, That swells, and sinks, and faints, and
falls, till all is still. Then, like a weary child that loves
to keep
Locked in its arms some treas­ure, Thy soul in calm content shall fall
asleep, And so, forget, forget!
Forget, forget,-And if thou hast been weeping, Let go the thoughts that bind thee
to thy grief: Lie still, and watch the singing angels,
reaping The golden harvest of thy sorrow, sheaf
by sheaf; Or count thy joys like flocks of
snow-white sheep That one by one come creeping Into the quiet fold, until thou
sleep, And so, forget, forget!
Second Concert ¦ 27
Forget, forget,-Thou art a child and knowest So little of thy life 1 But music tells One secret of the world thro' which
thou goest To work with morning song, to rest with
evening bells: Life is in tune with harmony so
deep
That when the notes are lowest Thou still canst lay thee down in
peace and sleep, For God will not forget.
V
Hunting Song Out of the garden of playtime, out of
the bower of rest, Fain would I follow at daytime music
that calls to a quest. Hark, how the galloping measure Quickens the pulses of pleasure;
Gaily saluting the morn With the long, clear note of the hunting-horn,
Echoing up from the valley, Over the mountain-side,-Rally, you hunters, rally, Rally and ride!
Drink of the magical potion music has
mixed with her wine, Full of the madness of motion, joyful,
exultant, divine!
Leave all your troubles behind you, Ride where they never can find you,
Into the gladness of morn, With the long, clear note of the hunting-horn, Swiftly o'er hillock and hollow,
Sweeping along with the wind,-Follow, you hunters, follow, Follow and find!
What will you reach with your riding What is the charm of the chase Just the delight and the striding swing
of the jubilant pace. Danger is sweet when you front
her,-In at the death, every hunter! Now on the breeze the mort is borne In the long, clear note of the hunting-horn, Winding merrily, over and over,-Come, come, come! Home again, Ranger! home again,
Rover! Turn again, home!
VI
Dance Music Then begins a measure stately,
Languid, slow, serene; All the dancers move sedately, Stepping leisurely and straitly,
With a courtly mien; Crossing hands and changing places,
Bowing low between, While the minuet inlaces Waving arms and woven paces,-Glittering damaskeen. Where is she whose form is folden
In its royal sheen From our longing eyes withholden By her mystic girdle golden,
Beauty sought but never seen, Music walks the maze, a queen.
Waitz
Now let the sleep-tune blend with the
play-tune,
Weaving the mystical spell of the dance; Lighten the deep tune, soften the gay
tune,
Mingle a tempo that turns in a trance. Half of it sighing, half of it smiling, Smoothly it swings, with a triplicate
beat;
Calling, replying, yearning, beguiling, Wooing the heart and bewitching the
feet.
Every drop of blood Rises with the flood. Rocking on the waves of the strain; Youth and beauty glide, Turning with the tide-Music making one out of twain. Bearing them away, and away, and away,
Like a tone and its terce-Till the chord dissolves, and the dancers
stay,
And reverse.
Violins leading, take up the measure, Turn with the tune again,--clarinets
clear Answer their pleading,--harps full of
pleasure Sprinkle their silver like light on the
mere.
Semiquaver notes, Merry little notes, Tangled in the haze Of the lamp's golden rays, Quiver everywhere In the air Like a spray,28 Official Program Book
Till the fuller stream of the might of
the tune, Gliding like a dream in the light of the
moon, Bears them all away, and away, and
away, Floating in the trance of the dance.

War Music
Break off! Dance no more 1 Music is in arms To signal war's alarms ! Hark, a sudden trumpet calling
Over the hill!
Why are you calling, trumpet, calling What is your will
Men, men, men! Men who are ready to fight For their country's life, and the right Of a liberty-loving land to be
Free, free, free!
Free from a tyrant's chain, Free from dishonor's stain, Free to guard and maintain All that her fathers fought for, All that her sons have wrought for; Resolute, brave, and free!
Call again, trumpet, call again, Call up the men!
Do you hear the storm of cheers,
Mingled with the women's tears
And the tramp, tramp, tramp of
marching feet
Do you hear the throbbing drum As the hosts of battle come Keeping time, time, time to its beat O Music, give a song To make their spirit strong For the fury of the tempest they must
meet.
The hoarse roar Of the monster guns; And the sharp bark Of the lesser guns; The whine of the shells,
The rifles' rattle, Where the bullets patter, patter,
patter,
The rattle, rattle, rattle Of the mitrailleuse in battle
And the yells Of the men who charge through
hells: Hi-aye! Ho-eye!
Where the poison gas descends, And bursting shrapnel rends Limb from limb, In the dim
Chaos and clamour of the strife, Where no man thinks of his life. But only of fighting through, Blindly fighting through!
'Tis done At last!
The victory won,
. The dissonance of warfare past! O Music, mourn the dead Whose loyal blood was shed, And sound the taps for every hero
slain;
Then lead into the song That made their spirit strong, And tell the_ world they did not die in vain.
Thank God, we can see, in the glory
of morn,
The invincible flag that our fathers defended,
And our hearts can repeat what the
heroes have sworn, That war shall not end till the war-lust is ended.
Then the bloodthirsty sword shall no longer be lord
Of the nations oppressed by the con­queror's horde,
But the banners of freedom shall peace­fully wave
O'er the world of the free and the lands of the brave.

The Symphony Music, they do thee wrong who say thine
art
Is only to enchant the sense. For every timid motion of the heart,
And every passion too intense To bear the chain of the imperfect word, And every tremulous longing, stirred By spirit winds that come we know not
whence,
And go we know not where, And every inarticulate prayer Beating about the depths of pain or bliss,
Like some bewildered bird That seeks its nest, but knows not where
it is,
And every dream that haunts, with dim delight,

The drowsy hour between the day and
night, The wakeful hour between the night and
day,-Imprisoned, waits for thee, Impatient, longs for thee, The queen who comes to set the captive
free!
Thou lendest wings to grief to fly away, And wings to joy to reach a heavenly
height; And every dumb desire that storms
within the breast Thou leadest forth to sob or sing itself
to rest.
All these are thine, and therefore love
is thine.
For love is joy and grief, And trembling doubt, and certain-sure
belief,
And fear, and hope, and longing un­expressed, In pain most human, and in rapture
brief
Almost divine. Love would possess, yet deepens when
denied; And love would give, yet hungers to
receive; Love like a prince his triumph would
achieve; And like a miser in the dark his joys
would hide. Love is most bold: He leads his dreams like armed men in
line; Yet when the siege is set, and he must
speak,
Calling the fortress to resign Its treasure, valiant love grows weak, And hardly dares his purpose to un. fold: Less with his faltering lips than with
his eyes
He claims the longed-for prize; Love fain would tell it all, yet leaves
the best untold. But thou shalt speak for love. Yea,
thou shalt teach The mystery of measured tone,
The Pentecostal speech That every listener heareth as his
own. For on thy head the cloven tongues
of fire,-Diminished chords that quiver with desire,
And major chords that glow with per­fect peace,-Have fallen from above;
And thou canst give release In music to the burdened heart of love.
Sound with the 'cellos' pleading, pas­sionate strain The yearning theme, and let the flute
reply
In placid melody, while violins com­plain,
And sob, and sigh; Then let the oboe half-reluctant sing Of bliss that trembles on the verge of
pain,
While 'cellos plead and plead again, With throbbing notes delayed, that
would impart To every urgent tone the beating of the
heart.
So runs the andante, making plain The hopes and fears of love without a word.
Intermezzo (for wind-instruments)
Then comes the adagio, with a yielding
theme Through which the violas flow soft as
in a dream, While horns and mild bassoons are
heard In tender tune, that seems to float
Like an enchanted boat Upon the downward-gliding stream, Toward the allegro's wide, bright
sea Of dancing, glittering, blending
tone, Where every instrument is sounding
free, And harps like wedding-chimes are
rung, and trumpets blown Around the barque of love That sweeps, with smiling skies above, A royal galley, many-oared, Into the happy harbour of the perfect chord.
IX Iris
Light to the eye and Music to the ear,-These are the builders of the bridge that
springs
From earth's dim shore of half-remem­bered things
To reach the spirit's home, the heavenly sphere
30 Official Program Book
Where nothing silent is and nothing
dark.
So when I see the rainbow's arc Spanning the showery sky, far off I
hear
Music, and every colour sings: And while the symphony builds up its
round
Full sweep of architectural harmony Above the tide of Time, far, far away
I see A bow of colour in the bow of sound.
Red as the dawn the trumpet rings, Imperial purple from the trombone
flows, The mellow horn melts into evening
rose.
Blue as the sky, the choir of strings Darkens in double-bass to ocean's hue, Rises in violins to noontide's blue, With threads of quivering light shot
through and through. Green as the mantle that the summer
flings Around the world, the pastoral reeds
in tune Embroider melodies of May and June.
Yellow as gold, Yea, thrice-refined gold, And purer than the treasures of the
mine,
Floods of the human voice divine Along the arch in choral song are
rolled.
So bends the bow complete And radiant rapture flows Across the bridge, so full, so strong,
so sweet,
That the uplifted spirit hardly knows Whether the Music-Light that glows
With the arch of tones and colours
seven Is sunset-peace of earth, or sunrise-joy
of Heaven.
Sba and Shore Music, I yield to thee; As swimmer to the sea I give my spirit to the flood of song; Bear me upon thy breast In rapture and at rest, Bathe me in pure delight and make
me strong;
From strife and struggle bring re­lease,
And draw the waves of passion into tides of peace.
Remember'd song, most dear, In living songs I hear, While blending voices gently swing
and sway
In melodies of love, Whose mighty currents move, With singing near and singing far
away;
Sweet in the glow of morning light, And sweeter still across the starlit gulf of night.
Music, in thee we float, And lose the lonely note Of self in thy celestial-ordered strain, Until at last we find The life to love resigned In harmony of joy restored again; And songs that cheered our mortal
days
Break on the coast of light in endless hymns of praise.

THIRD CONCERT
Friday Afternoon, May 16
NATIONAL HYMN "America"
SUITE, D Major, No. 3 Bach
Overture; Air; Gavottes I and II; Bourree; Gigue
John Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died at Leipzig, July 28, 1750.
The first movement of this Suite is in the form of the old so-cnlled French overture, as established by Jean Baptiste Lully (1633-1687). The initial, though somewhat tentative impulse in the establishment of this form dates back to the concertini of Allegri (1584-1662), and, to a certain degree, it was influenced by the instrumental introductions employed in the formative decades of the Italian Opera. These introductions, which, by the way, were never called overtures, had nothing to do with the operas themselves until the advent of Cesti (1620-1699) who, in "II Pomo d'Oro" (1668-) for the first time introduced material drawn from the work itself.
Following the established structural norm this overture opens with a slow move­ment, the Prelude--D major, Grave, 4-4 time--which soon leads into a lively fugue-vivace--same key and time.
This fugue is of a peculiar sort, approaching more closely what Fetis calls an irregular fugue, than any other established variety. The exposition is a measure longer than the subject. There are several passages for violin solo in this fugue, after the manner of the old concerto grosso.
The second movement, Air--D major, lento, 4-4 time--is for strings alone. It has probably been played at concerts, separated from the rest of the Suite, oftener than any orchestral composition by Bach. It has also become familiar in chamber con­certs through a transcription for violin and pianoforte by August Wilhelmj, who transposed it to G major, writing the violin part a major 9th lower than in the original in order that it might be played on the G string.
After this sublime Air, which, in this early cyclical form, represented the Andante or Adagio of the modern sonata or symphony, typical early dances make their appeal. That the super-strenuous qualities of most of the popular modern dances give way to delicacy and refinement does not detract from their witchery, and may induce the desire that in this field "history might repeat itself."
The third and fourth movements, Gavottes I and II--D major, Allegro, 2-2 time-would count nowadays as a single movement, the second Gavotte being the alter32 Official Program Book
native or Trio of the first. The Gavotte is an old French dance, its name said to be derived from the Gavots, or inhabitants of the Pays du Gap. Originally its peculiarity, as a danse grave, was the fact that the dancers lifted their feet from the ground, whereas they walked or shuffled in the older dances of its class. It begins on the third quarter of the measure, wherein it is differentiated from the Pavane, which begins on the first beat.
The fifth movement is a Bourree--D major, Allegro, 2-2 time. The Bourree was, according to some authorities, an old French dance indigenous to the province of Auvergne. According to others it was a Spanish dance, from Biscay, where it is said to still be in common use. It differs from the Gavotte in being in alla-breve instead of in common time, and by its beginning always on the fourth quarter of the measure, instead of on the third.
The sixth movement is a Gigue--D maior, Allegro vivace, 6-8 time. The Giga was an old Italian dance. It is uncertain whether its name was derived from that of the old Italian fiddle or vice versa. It was always in triple time, which was written indiscriminately as 3-8, 3-4, 6-8, or 12-8 time. It was the conventional finale of suites and partitas in Bach's and Handel's day. Its musical character is well defined by the English "Jig-"
In the suites for keyed-instruments most of the dances were severely con­trapuntal, frequently fugal, as naturally conditioned by environment and by the structural characteristics of the instruments themselves.
SYMPHONY, No. 3, "Eroica," E flat, Op. 53 Bbethovsn
Allegro con brio; Marcia funebre; Scherzo; Finale
Ludwig van Beethoven was born at Bonn, December 16, 1770; died at Vienna, March 26, 1826.
Were Beethoven alive today we are confident that he would not have been obliged to dedicate this symphony to an "ideal hero of his imagination," as he did after the Napoleon in whom he saw the saviour of democracy had blasted his hopes by dis­covering himself to be the victim of an insatiable ambition.
Today we may see in it a tribute to the heroes who gave of themselves to accom­plish that which Beethoven hoped would be brought to pass by his fallen idol. In the second movement we may find a fitting dirge for those who made the supreme sacrifice. In the nobility of its content the work justifies its title, and when it is con­sidered purely as music, divorced from the implications of its title and dedication, it is worthy of the supreme position accorded it in the symphonic repertoire.
The "Eroica" was first performed in private in 1804, and its first public hearing was on April 7, 1805. It made its way into other countries but slowly, in E.igland in 1814; in France in 1828; in Russia in 1834; in Italy in 1866; in Spain not until 1S78. While no authentic data is available it was in all probability given in America before either of the last two dates. Once introduced, however, it has always main­tained its preeminence.

Third Concert 33
The principal theme of the first movement--E flat major, Allegro con brio, 3-4 time--is enunciated by the violoncellos at the beginning of the third measure.
After a restatement of this basic theme, in the new material leading to the "modulatory phrase," a short motive of three notes falling to the lot of the wood­winds cannot fail to attract notice by its questioning urgency, and win through its charm.
The second subject -first stated by oboes, clarinets and bassoons -and taken up later by the strings, has a captivating shythmical scheme, and its general character is clearly enforced by the following excerpt:
The "development" section introduces wonderful contrasts and scholarly, but not pedantic treatments of material already heard and added episodical themes. An illustration of Beethoven's freedom occurs in this section in the measures leading into the "recapitulation," when the horn introduces the principal theme in the original key in a relation to the violins that was thought to be, as Ries said, "abominably false." He attributed it to "a wrong entrance by the d-d horn-player," but as it is said he narrowly escaped being cuffed by Beethoven for making this assertion we must consider it as something intended, for it has always so remained. Naturally so con­summate a master of form gives us a "recapitulation" section in which the themes appear in the order ordained.
The second movement--C minor, adagio assai, 2-4 time--is one of the greatest funeral marches ever written. Its two principal themes are worthy of the implica34 Official Program.Book
tions of the subject and pregnant with meaning. It is not necessary to give the formal structure nor the processes through which the themes expose their fulness of meaning for they stand clearly revealed. It is said, not on unimpeachable authority, that when Beethoven was told of Napoleon's death he remarked that he wrote his funeral march seventeen years before.
The Scherzo--E flat major, Allegro vivace, 3-4 time--is a brilliant example of the possibilities of the old minuet form when given a different content and taken in a quick tempo.
This is one of the most captivating of the master's playful inspirations, and the certainty that there can be no accident in the delivery of the somewhat trying horn-passages in the Trio
will not arouse the feelings of trepidation often felt in earlier days when inefficient players too frequently came to grief--and the listeners grieved.
In the Finale--E flat major, Allegro molto, 2-4 time--Beethoven displays his marvellous use of the variation form. The theme which served as a basis for the genial variations which make up the movement appears to have been a favorite of Beethoven, for he used it in three other compositions of quite distinct import from each other, and from the present work.
The illustration given above does not show the theme in its original form, but it can be easily traced in the bass. Acquaintance with the productions of other symphonists invariably lead to the conclusion that, all in all, Beethoven was the greatest. Many see in his orchestra a lack of resources, and still others appear to resent the clarity and naturalness of his melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic schemes, but it is unwise for anyone to base a reputation lor sound musical judgment on such criticisms or opinions for they enforce rather than detract from his greatness.
Third Concert 35
CONCERTO, No. 2, for Pianoforte, B flat major, Op. 53 Brahms Allegro non troppo; Allegro appassionato; Andante; Allegro grazioso
Mr. Ossip Gabrhowitsch.
Johannes Brahms was born at Hamburg, May 7, 1833; died at Vienna, April 3, 1897.
The details of Brahms' career, and varying judgments of his art have appeared so frequently in program-books of previous Festivals that they will not be touched upon in this analysis, the purpose of which is to set forth certain facts regarding the particular work to be heard this afternoon.
With the modesty frequently evinced by him when referring to his compositions, especially new and important ones, in a letter, dated Pressburg, July 7, 1881, the composer wrote to intimate friends regarding it--"I don't mind telling you that I have written a tiny, tiny piano concerto, with a tiny, tiny wisp of a scherzo" Later, he spoke of the four movements as "small piano pieces." Such modesty is frequently a sign of egotism, but it was not so in the case of Brahms. As the letter referred to was written on the day which saw the completion of the concerto there can be no doubt as to its date. The work was published in 1882, but had been performed three times by the composer in the month of November of the year of its completion. Since its publication it has been played many times by the greatest pianists, for only such can successfully negotiate its technical difficulties and reveal its spiritual con­tent. It must be said en passant that no artist is more worthy to function as its interpreter than the distinguished virtuoso who will today make it live and breathe. A word as to its structure may not be out of place at this point.
The first movement--B flat major, Allegro non troppo; 4-4 time--begins with prophecies of the principal subject, which later, in connection with the second sub­ject, is proclaimed in the tutti. After another statement of the principal subject by the solo instrument, the movement runs the usual course of the sonata-form, which, however, is treated with a breadth, elasticity and freedom characteristic of the modern outlook. Among the many individual touches to be noted, the modest manner in which the horn introduces the "recapitulation" section may be mentioned.
The Scherzo--F major, Allegro appassionato, 3-4 time--exhibits certain depar­tures from the orthodox form, but as is always the case with Brahms, who had a fine sense of values and proportion, they fully justify and enforce the Scriptural saying "The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." At this point it may be per­missible for us to indulge in guestionings as to Brahms' definition of "tiny, tiny," and to wonder what he would call "great" But queries have no place in our minds when listening with a free imagination yields such unalloyed pleasure as is given by this inspired movement.
At the very beginning of the third movement--B flat major, Andante, 6-4 time -the principal theme is set forth by the solo violoncello, and treated by other instru­ments before the pianoforte takes it in hand.
36 Official Program Book
The formal structure is very simple, largely resting on the principal subject, and its elaboration and development. A new theme in F sharp major, an intimate enharmonic key-relationship, gives genial contrast.
The final movement -B flat major, Allegretto, 2-4 time -like its predecessors gives us an immediate statement of its leading theme. New ideas soon enter into the composer's general scheme so admirably that they enhance the effect of the movement in its entirety. Only a composer gifted with the power of sustained musical thought could conceive such a wealth of contrasting ideas and make them, integral parts of a well-ordered whole with no loss of clarity, or logic. Unless such ideas are organic outgrowths of the original dominating thought, they produce chaos where we would see variety. Brahms' greatness reveals itself in his power of fus­ing into a real unity so many varied emotional expressions, or phases of a parent emotion. Returning from this digression to our purpose, it only remains to point out that, unlike many moderns, our composer knew how to reach a real climax at the very end of an extended work, as witness the brilliant coda -Una pico piu presto--which brings this movement to an inspiring conclusion.
To those who love to expatiate on Brahms' obscurity, it may be pointed out that the processes so imperfectly stated in this analysis in every instance enforce the real clarity of his art. Although the statement that "Brahms had no melodic gift" is heard less frequently now-a-days than formerly, it may be true that he will never attain general popularity, but it cannot be denied that his hold on those who have arrived at a real appreciation of his work is steadily increasing. Again, it is quite possible that a willingness to study him will win over many of those who now "stand afar off." Hans von Biilow spoke of the three B's -Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms--as the great Musical Trinity. It would be difficult to give a reason why the composer who occupies the third place in the sequence displayed in this symphony program should not be considered worthy of the position assigned him by this eminent authority.

FOURTH CONCERT
Friday Evening, May 16
OVERTURE, "Carneval," Op. 92, Dvosak
Antonin Dvorak was born at Miihlhausen (Bohemia), September 8, 18.41; died at Prague, May 1, 1904.
This overture is the second in the "Overture Trilogy"--"Nature, Life and Love" --now known as three separate overtures, "Nature," "Carneval," and "Othello," with the opus numbers 91, 92, and 93. They were given in Prague in their original form in April, 1852, on the occasion of the composer's departure for this country. They were also heard in October, 1892, in New York. They have decided kinship in interest although the thematic relationship is restricted to the following theme--the first subject of the "Nature" overture, to which more or less prominence is given in each.
Quoting from the program of the New York performance of the Trilogy, we learn that the "Carneval Overture" represents "the lonely contemplative wanderer, who coming from a solitary walk through the meadows and woods on a quiet summer afternoon, when the shadows grow longer and longer till they lose them­selves in the dusk, reaches the city at nightfall. On every side is heard the clangor of instruments mingled with shouts of joy and unrestrained hilarity." The people freely give vent to their feelings in their songs and dance tunes symbolized by the examples given below.
38 Official Program Book
The following melody sung by the violins speaks of more tranquil pleasures,
while the inevitable love scene, illustrated by the violin and flute, is witnessed by
the "lonely contemplative wanderer" in the guise of the "Nature" motive, for does it not, according to the composer, "mark the reflection of one who obseres and is moved by the unchangeable laws of the Universe" Reflection soon gives way to action as the overture sweeps onward to a wonderful climax, and the lovers are swallowed up in the surging crowd.
ARIAS, (a.) "The Heavens are telling the Lord's endless glory" Beethoven (b) "My Heart ever Faithful," Bach
Madame Louise Homer.
(a.) "The Heavens are telling the Lord's endless glory" Beethoven
The Beethoven number is No. 4, of his Opus 48. "Six Sacred Songs," dedicated to his friend Count von Browne, a Russian nobleman, and composed in 1802. Whether Beethoven was a religious man or not has been debated, but on the testi­mony of a life consecrated to duty, a spirit triumphing over endless discourage­ments, and the songs included in this group, we may feel that while he may have had no formal religious life, he was animated by the spirit of true religion. His theology was formulated in a Creed, which he kept constantly before him--"I am that which is, I am all that is, that was, and that shall be. No mortal man hath lifted my veil. He is alone by Himself, and to Him do all things owe their being."
Fourth Concert 39
The music of this song is noble and inspiring and reveals an appreciation of the significance of the subjoined text possible only to a man who felt its obvious meaning.
The heavens are telling the Lord's endless glory,
Through all the earth his praise is found; The seas re-echo the marvellous story; Oh, man, repeat that glorious sound! The starry host He orders and measures;
He fills the morning's golden springs, He wakes the sun from his night-curtained slumbers; Oh, man, adore the King of Kings!
(b) "My Heart ever Faithful" Each
Bach was of a deeply religious nature, as is shown conclusively by his settings of the Passion, his colossal B minor Mass, and the sacred cantatas which he wrote for every holy day in he year. The probable date of this wonderful example of the great Leipzig Cantor's happiest vocal style is 1735. The melody is so captivat­ing that those who find little pleasure in his instrumental compositions, particularly those written for key-board instruments, can but be captivated by its grace and naturalness. Bach was a poet, a fact too often ignored by virtuosi, and in none of his numerous inspirations has he displayed this more than in this short aria, unless it be in the preludes and fugues in the "Well Tempered Clavichord." The text is as follows:
My heart ever faithful Sing praises, be joyful 1 My Jesus is near. Away with complaining Faith ever maintaining My Jesus is here.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December S. I79iIn the period in which this symphony falls, Mozart was harassed financially, for, like many other men of genius, he was careless about money matters, and his wife (Constance Weber) cheerfully contributed to his improvidence, although she bravely faced the results of their combined activitv in this direction and shared his discomLudwig Kochel (January 14, 1800-June 3, 1877) was a musical dilettante of great learning.

forts without a murmur. That he could have completed his three greatest symphonies while undergoing the nagging of his numerous creditors and suffering from what he considered to be reflections on his honor, is a revelation of the unfathomable at­tributes of real genius. When one realizes that June 26, 1788, witnessed the com­pletion of the symphony in E flat; July 25, the G minor, and August 10, the "Jupiter," the frequently quoted examples of creative facility lose somewhat of their force, for this immortal trio represents Mozart's highest atainment in symphonic writing. Each is highly individual, and each may be considered a model of melodic power and grace, lucidity of statement, and formal symmetry. To choose between them is as embarrassing as to exhibit a preference for either of his two most popular operas. One might select "Figaro's Hochzeit" were it not for "Don Giovanni," and might choose the E flat symphony were it not for the G minor, and the "Jupiter," but the better plan is to prefer the one last heard.
The marvellous command of instrumentation and, in this particular symphony, the genius displayed by the master in his treatment of the violins must be urged. Few of the remaining forty-six symphonies writen by Mozart are heard now-a-days, although the majority of them display his power and are worthy of the repeated hearings the present embarrassment of riches in the orchestral repertoire deny them. More than any other composer, with the possible exception of Rossini, Mozart realized the popular idea of genius. The belief that a genius in frenzy covers reams of music-paper with notes, not one of which is misplaced and all of which represent inspirations pressing for utterance, and that the extent of such activity is limited only by the physical capacity to endure, is fancy rather than fact, as is proven by the toil with which Beethoven evolved his themes and their treat­ment. As a matter of fact, the spontaneity of this symphony, its free play of motive, its apparent unforced naturalness all predispose one to accept this fancy as a true state­ment of the case. In reality, in this instance, it is, but such a procedure is the excep­tion rather than the rule.
In the first movement--G minor, Allegro molto, Alia breve time--the violins immediately announce the nervously incisive, somewhat restless, principal subject, the rhythmical impact of which is heightened by the mildly agitated accompaniment of the violas.
Developed and repeated, the two statements being separated by a short inter­mediate phrase, it soon loses itself in a lovely second subject, to which one might

apply Schubert's appreciative expression, when, referring to Mozart's melodies, he said "One could hear the angels singing."
Through the processes of development inherent in the sonata-form, this material is made to yield its wealth of suggestion until, after it.has run its formal course, the movement is brought to a conclusion that is neither abrupt nor drawn-out, the Scylla and Charybdis of extensive forms.
Certain critics have seen in the second movement--E flat major, Andante, 6-8 time--the "song of a heart yearning for sympathy." The entire symphony has been characterized by them as an "expression of rebelliousness controlled by resignation," therefore ,we are not surprised to learn that the perfectly natural and eminently Mozartian principal subject of this movement is a "throbbing, plaintive appeal,"
which in its pathos yields only to the utterances of the second subject.
4 Official Program Book
According to the interpretation of this symphony from which these quotations are taken, the energetic, though restricted, rhythmic motive heard in connection with these subjects, depicts "the waves of agitation under which the pathetic appeals are occasionally submerged, only to rise again and again to the surface," possibly to justify inner meanings in the main so successfully hidden by Mozart that they have not been fully realized by listeners who have not bidden farewell to sanity and who prefer sunlight to mystical gloom.
The Menuetto -G minor, Allegro, 3-4 time -follows the usual three-part dance form in terms of the following principal subject.
The Trio, the second member in the form, is in G major, and the pessimistic atmosphere attending all that has preceded it, is now pierced by the following "ray of light."
To quote for the last time from the sources cited, the last movement--G minor, Allegro, common time--reveals in the very first measures of its principal subject
"the determination, the passionate effort to drive away sorrow which appear to prevail." Merely questioning the use of "appear" in this connection, we can now gladly bid farewell to this type of criticism, after calling attention to the beauty of the second subject.
Fourth Concert ' 43
It may be stated that the glimpses into the material afforded by the illustrative cuts will prepare one for the genial uses to which they are put in the construction of this fitting finale to a really great symphony. The criticisms quoted give rise to certain reflections on criticism as such. When a young bride, writes from Niagara Falls to a friend, "Niagara Falls is the cutest thing I ever saw. but the pudding served at dinner was sublime," it will be seen that such a misuse of terms as is now too prevalent makes it difficult to apply to works of art, terms hallowed by associa­tion with marsh-mallows and Easter bonnets. But this handicap amounts to little as compared to the obsession of the idea that one must be keen to discern the expression of overwrought emotional irregularities in every product of genius. It was only in his last year that Mozart could have felt crushed by his environment to such an extent that his muse could respond to none but pessimistic suggestions. A composer who could in a few weeks produce three immortal works, must have been in a continuous state of exaltation that could only express itself in optimistic utterances. There is no doubt that Mozart's career furnished abundant reason for despondency, but we know on indisputable authority that he rose above all discourage­ment and faced life with a cheery, buoyant spirit.
Not questioning in the least the sincerity of opinions, which in the present case seem to have no foundation, the criticisms that have been proven to be of value, if any are, or can be, as a rule have not been written by men who "sit in a corner and throb," nor by those who in that same corner emulate Jack Horner by pulling out the plums of hidden meanings, but by men who have realized the naturalness of musical expression and when listening have neither been obliged to "remove their shoes" nor close their eyes. Still each individual must interpret music in terms of his own individuality, which means that there will always be different points of view, else music were in vain.

(a) ARIA, from "L'Enfant Prodigue" -----Debussey
Achille Claude Debussey was born August 22, 1862, at St. Germain, (France) ; died March 26, 1918, at Paris.
While several of Debussey's instrumental compositions including the "Cortege et Air de Danse" from the work in which is included the excerpt on our program have been presented in the past, this aria is the first opportunity of becoming acquainted with his vocal style offered in these concerts.
This Scene Lyrique won for Debussey the Grand Prix de Rome in 1884, and was first performed at the Conservatoire, June 27, of that year. In 1908, after revision, it was given at the Sheffield (England) Musical Festival. After still another revision, for Debussey was a stern critic, it was produced at Covent Garden, London, on October 28, 1910, on which occasion it was followed by Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel."

The story is simple and runs as follows:
Lia, the mother of Azael, bemoans the loss of her wayward son. As she expresses her grief Simeon, her husband, gently upbraids her, and he exhorts Lia to hearken to the music of the merrymakers and to partake of their joy. A pro­cession of the revellers enters and Simeon and Lia join the throng. Azael, who has returned home, exhausted and repentant, has, unobserved by the people who pass by, seen his brother and sister in the midst of the joyous crowd. He falls unconscious outside the home which had once sheltered him and is discovered by Lia and his father. Forgiveness is extended to the erring wanderer and all thank Heaven for his restoration.
The music of the ''Cortege and Air de Danse" is played as the procession of revellers enters. The directions in the score are as follows: "Young men and maidens pass across the scene followed by attendants who present flowers, fruits and brimming cups to them. They form a gay procession headed by Simecn and Lia." The scene of the work is a village near the Lake Genesareth.
The following is the text:
ReciT:--The years roll by no comfort bringing Spring comes smiling, gay flowers flinging, The birds' sweet song but makes my heart the sadder pine: My wounds bleed fresh, my heart cries for joys that once were mine. Along this silent shore I wander lonely, My grief God knoweth only; Ever, ever more Lia mourns for her child, the child that once she bore.
Air:--Azael! Azael! Ah! wherefore did'st thou leave me On my heart thou art graven: I sorrow for thee. Azael! Azael! Ah! wherefore did'st thou leave me Happy days to my memory start, When the elmtrees waving o'er us, Homeward the ruddy oxen bore us Weary with toil, but light of heart. Then as the shadows 'gan to fall, We all the evening hymn did sing Thankfully to God our king, To God, the Lord who giveth all. Sweetly we slept, and glad uprose. Youths and pure maidens wandered free,
Plighted vows in sincerity.
Evening shades brought rest and calm repose. Happy ye parents! when to earth your children bind ye: How glad your lot appears! Its joys, its tender fears,
With their lives hath their love entwined ye. Sadly must I alone drag out the leaden years! Azael! Azael! Azael! Azael! Ah! wherefore did'st thou leave me

(b) GAVOTTE, from "Mignon" A. Thomas
Ambroise Thomas was born at Metz, August 5, 1811; died at Paris, February 12, 1896.
After a career as dramatic composer, not always attended with success, with his nineteenth dramatic venture, "Mignon" (Opera Comique, November 17, 1866), Thomas won a place in the front rank of opera composers. After "Mignon" he wrote four operas, including "Hamlet" (March 9, 1868), but none of them achieved the success of "Mignon," which attained world-wide popularity. Aside from the some­what hackneyed Polonaise, Mignon's air, "Knowst thou the land," and the Gavotte offered this evening may account largely for the position accorded a work, which, considered from the modern point of view, does not invite the use of superlatives.
At the first performance of "Mignon" in London, July 5, 1870, Madame Tribelli-Bettini, a contralto, who sang the part of Frederick (originally a man's role), was given more opportunity for the display of her art by the interpolation of the gavotte aria to be sung this evening.
As the tender feelings of the habitues of the Opera Comique, Paris, forbade acquaintance with aught that was painful, in the French version of the story drawn from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister," wedding bells were substituted for the tragic death of the heroine, so that all might end according to the ideals embodied in the type of novel dear to boarding-school girls, as well as in the and-so-they-were-married-and-ever-after-lived-happily denouments, characteristic of fairy tales.
Whether this charming addition was made to strengthen the exceedingly anaemic part of Frederic, or as another "sop to Cerberus" is as immaterial as the reason for the metamorphosis of Goethe's Gretchen into Gounod's Marguerite.
In its orchestral garb the gavotte introduces Act II, and in its vocal form is clothed with the following text:
'Tis I! all is now broken i
No matter ! Here I am!
Ah! Filina, hid in the dwelling of my fair Aunt!
I am in her boudoir fair,
And I feel my heart with rapture beat:
Ah! the moment comes for us again to meet!
I'll watch her, and catch her,
When we again shall meet.
'Tis now the time my fair inconstant beauty,
To gain your faithless heart I feel to be my duty.
Ah! if I can only make her love me,
Oh! how happy, how happy I'd be!
And laugh at all who to her bend the knee,
I am in her boudoir fair,
And I feel my heart with rapture beat!

SYMPHONIC LEGEND, "The Enchanted Forest," Op. 8 d'Ikdy
Paul Marie Theodore Vincent d'Indy was born at Paris, March 27, 1851;
still living.
Vincent d'Indy (for he dispensed with the first three Christian names noted above), one of the most prominent living French composers, has given many proofs of his great creative ability, and through his sympathetic and comprehensive bio­graphy of Cesar Franck has given evidence of the possession of pronounced literary gifts. Like Chausson, he was an ardent disciple of C. Franck, in whom he found a master who knew how to develop his creative gifts and who also inspired him to noble living. He has written much in the symphonic forms, over which he displays absolute mastery, and as professor of composition in the Schola Cantorum is exert­ing a great and beneficial influence on the younger composers of his nation.
The "Enchanted Forest" owes its existence primarily to d'Indy's love of nature and folk-tales, the immediate inspiration being the following material drawn from Uhland's ballad: "Harald."
At the head of his warriors rode Harald, the hero full of bravery -they were going, by the light of the moon, through the wild forest, singing many songs of war.
Who rustles and watches in the bushes Who descends from the clouds and emerges from the spray of the torrent Who murmurs so harmoniously and gives those sweet kisses Who embraces the cavaliers so voluptuously It is the nimble troop of the Elves; all resistance is vain-The warriors have departed, departed for the land of the Fairies.
He alone has remained, Harald, the hero full of bravery; he moves on by the light of the moon through the wild forest.
At the foot of a rock bubbles a limpid spring; no sooner has Harald drunk of its enchanted waters than a strange drowsiness takes possession of his entire being; he falls asleep on the dark rock.
Seated on this same stone he sleeps for many centuries--and for many centuries, by the light of the moon, the Elves slowly circle round above Harald, the antique hero.
The text displays the range of the composition, the varied moods of which are portrayed by an orchestra in the make-up and use of which the modern outlook is a conditioning factor. The music is constructed with considerable freedom and follows well-nigh categorically the leadings of the text.

ARIA--"0 fatal dower," from "Don Carlos" ----Vbrdi
Madamb HomEr.
"Don Carlos," from which the aria through which the Italian master makes his final appeal in this series is taken, was produced at Paris, March 11, 1867. In it Verdi gave evidence of the growth, both on the musical and dramatic side, which culminated in the works which, beginning with "Aida" (1871), belong to his third period of creative activity. It was not received with enthusiasm, indeed its success was but moderate. Whether this was due to a lack of perception on the part of the public, or the absence of qualities compelling success we may not know, but the infrequency with which it is given would seem to indicate that it did not possess elements of popularity. This judgment or, more strictly speaking, opinion, need not be considered final, for the history of opera is full of instances in which the verdict of the public ran counter to the evidence. The text of this aria, which will be sung in Italian, is herewith appended in an English translation:
Oh fatal dower, oh cruel gift,
That in their fury the heavens did grant me!
Thou who canst make us so vain and haughty,
My curse is on thee!
Yea, curses for my beauty bright!
With bitter tears my heart is riven,
Hope never comes in sorrow's night.
No torture may wipe out my crime, so great
That it may call for sacrifice of life.
My curse is on thee, O beauty bright!
Ah! my curse is on thee, O beauty bright 1
O Queen adored, I sacrific'd thee,
0 foolish error of this loving heart!
In some lone convent where none can find me,
1 can conceal my wild despair. Alas! alas! O Queen adored.
Oh heav'n! and Carlo--condemned tomorrow, he may be! Great heav'ns! Ah I one day is left. 'Tis hope sweetly dawning! I'll save him yet! One day is left me, ' Ah! thanks to heav'n, yes, thanks to heav'n, I'll save him now!

BALLET SUITE, "Sylvia"
"Les Chasseresses"; Intermezzo; Pizzicati; Cortege de Bacchus
Clement Philibert Leo Delibes was born February 21, 1830, at Saint Germain, du Val (France) ; died at Paris, January 16, 1891.
Whatever position may be accorded Delibes as a dramatic composer his facility and power in the field of ballet-music cannot be denied. That the French and Russians dominate this genre must be granted as historical evidence and concrete proofs of the works themselves alike testify. As is well known for entirely novel and artistically significant concepts regarding this style of composition we are in­debted to the composers of the latter race. But from the days of Lully up to the present, France has yielded the finest examples of this form, which wen the adora­tion of Louis XIV, as it now wins the enthusiastic approval of French opera-going audiences and, incidentally, those of the world.
Delibes' greatest offering in this field "Sylvia, ou la nymphe de Diana," furnishes the material from which are drawn the four numbers making up the Suite on our program. "Sylvia" was brought out at the Grand Opera, Paris, on June 14, 1876. The success achieved by the entire work on that occasion has attended every per­formance of the group of excerpts arranged by the composer himself.
The title of the first number (The Huntresses) fully indicates the character of the music, which, introduced by a few preluding measures--A sharp major, Moderato maestoso, common time--nimbly gallops to its conclusion. The following indications -E flat major, Allegro animato, 6-8 time -give the necessary purely musical details, for structurally it presents nothing of importance.
The second number of the series--"Intermezzo"--Moderato, 6-8 time--opens with a dainty theme for violins, which leads into a captivating "slow waltz" in which all the implications inherent in this designation are fully realized.
The title "Pizzicati" given the third movement--E flat, Moderato, 6-8 time-refers to the treatment of the strings accompanying the piquant melodies for violins, flute, and clarinet, which unite in giving to this movement its captivating charm.
The "Cortege de Bacchus" is a quasi-fantastic march -E major, Allegro, com­mon time--with a middle section in A major. Repeating the first section it then reverts to the initial measures of No. 1. After this the work passes to a brilliant conclusion.

FIFTH CONCERT
Saturday Afternoon, May 17
I. PASSACAGLIA in C minor .... John Sehastian Bach
(1685-1750)
The Passacaglia (Ital. Passacaglio; Fr. Passecaille), one of the earliest p'oly-phonic forms, was primarily a dance common to Italy and France, and resembling the Chaconne. Structurally it is built upon a continually-repeated theme, which, at each appearance, is treated to differing accompanying figures. From Frescobaldi -"The Father of Organ-Music" (1583-1644), whose glorious Passacaglia in B flat is today as fresh as when it was first heard, to Brahms (1833-1897) who utilized it in the last movement of his E minor symphony, is a far cry: The intervening centuries have yielded many masterly employments of this form, notably the closing dance in "King Arthur" (160.1) of Purcell (1658-1695), the noble composition on our program, the greatest of them all, and the "Crucifixus" in the B minor Mass of Bach.
II. TWO PRELUDES ----Charles Camiujs Safnt-Saens
(183S )
E major
E flat major
It may not be generally known that the composer of "Samson and Delilah," has written quite extensively for the organ, of which he is a master. There are many who question the enduring qualities of Saint-Saens' art, but the number as yet is not so great as to deter one from enjoying his compositions from the fear of not showing "good form."
ALLEGRETTO deBouck (1864- )
"CHRISTUS RESURREXIT" Orestes Raveneu.o (1871 )
The composer was Director of the Liceo Benedetto Marcello, in Venice, from 1902 to 1914, and, from the latter year, of the Municipal Institute of Music in Padua, where he now resides. He has written extensively in various forms, and has pro­duced many works for the organ. The title indicates the atmosphere of Easter pervading this particular work, which may serve as an illustration of the modern Italian point of view of the instrument whose earliest literature is due to com­posers like Claude Merulo (1533-1604) and Frescobaldi. In all honesty, it must be said that the products of succeeding generations have fallen far short of realizing the early prophecies, but with the new birth of symphonic writing in Italy we may expect that the "King of Instruments" will be treated with proper dignity and appreciation.
50 Official Program Book
V. GRAND PIfiCE SYMPHONIQUE Cesar Franck (1822-1890)
Two movements
Andante seriosa;
Allegro non troppo e maestoso
In the Grand Piece Symphonique, in F sharp minor, we find a composition in the symphonic form and in which by reason of the development of the organ, we get color-combinations closely corresponding to those contributed by the orchestra. The Andante is in the song-form and the Finale, F sharp major, is based on the principal theme of the first movement, following a structural unifying norm char­acteristic of Franck, and met with in most of his larger works.
VI. SKETCH, No. 3 - Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
To those who know Robert Schumann in other fields of creation it may be a surprise to learn that he wrote several compositions for the organ. His Op. 60 com­prised six glorious fugues on the name B-A-C-H, while six studies in canon-form-and the sketches for pedal-piano, from which the opening number is drawn, are given the Opus numbers 56 and 58, respectively.
VII. TWO PIECES ------Pieteo A. Yon (1887 )
"Echo" (Double canon in octaves)
"The Primitive Organ."
A writer in the "American Organist" for April, 1919, speaking of Mr. Yon, says, "To have a new message for the organ is the art of a genius, but to have a new way of saying the old message requires a brave man." He also considers him as "the greatest exponent of modern Italian composition." The first composi­tion of the two we shall hear this afternoon, being in the form of a double-canon, will serve to display his command of counterpoint, while his choice of the possibili­ties suggested by the title of the second will reveal the quality of his imagination.
VIII. "PIfiCE HEROIQUE" Franck
When one reads the biographical sketches of Cesar Franck given in Musical Dictionaries prior to 1900, and realizes their meagerness when compared with his greatness, it is possible to understand the indifferent attitude of his countrymen. In the 1871 edition of "Grove" not even his name is mentioned, and yet he had already written the greatest religious work France has produced, and a symphony outranking any similar product of the French muse. We are now appreciating his power in ever increasing measure. To this appreciation his magnificent com­positions for the organ are contributing no small share, for their quality is indicated by the two works on our program. The Piece heroique -the last of Trois pieces pour grand orgue--was written in 1878 for the inauguration of the large organ in the Trocadero, and displays all that is implied in the title.

To give even a resume of the literature which owes its existence to the legend of Faust and his relation to the Autocrat of the Nether World's Breakfast Table would take us too far afield. Its fundamental motive exerted its influence many centuries before the adventures of Johann Faust (Dr. Faustus) were recorded in print (Frankfort 1587), but Goethe was the first to invest it with poetic charm and to bring out deeper meanings than those common to superstition and necromancy. Through the great poet-dramatist the legitimate stage came into possession of material that for generations had been an asset of puppet-shows and marionette theaters.
Few great poems have proven so alluring as Goethe's "Faust." The inherent romanticism and epic qualities of his masterpiece are accountable for its appeal to composers of power, while men of mediocre gifts have seen in it certain melo­dramatic possibilities, which incited them to attempts that were doomed to failure through this fundamental error in their point of view. Goethe's stage directions point no less unmistakably to the necessity of musical accessories, than his desire to have Zelter (1758-1832) compose incidental music for his drama . Of all of Goethe's contemporaries Zelter was by nature the least fitted to do this, for he was a peda­gogue rather than a creative artist, a great teacher, but no composer. It may have
52 Official Program Book
been that Goethe's request was prompted by the great friendship existing between them, a friendship so intense, on Zelter's part, that Mendelssohn said on hearing of Goethe's death, "Zelter will not live long now." Zelter's refusal--which may have been a token of his love for the poet--reduced the number of failures to rise to the suggestions of the drama by one.
Eberwein (1775-1831) ; Reissiger (1798-1859) ; Lindpainter (1791-1856) ; Lortzing (1803-1852) ; Lassen (1830-1904) ; and more recently Weingartner (1863 ),
may be named as having written music for "Faust" which is more or less inti­mately connected with stage performance. Many other composers have set music to texts suggested by, or to a greater or lesser degree taken from, Goethe's drama, while others used the material in condensed, and often distorted, form, as opera
librettos. Henry Litolff (1818-1901) and, in our day, Heinrich Zollner (1854 )
come within this category. Then comes a group of opera composers who utilized texts based on the drama, viz.: Spohr (1784-1859) ; Gounod (1818-1893) ; and Boito (1842-1918), in whose "Mefistofele" the composer, by attempting to exploit too much material produced an anaemic conglomeration of imperfectly related episodes. Bee­thoven was intensely interested in "Faust", for he was a great admirer of Goethe, but could not find time to give it an operatic setting. In passing it may be stated that many see in his C minor Symphony a working out of the Faust idea. Later, Meyer­beer could not be induced to use the material for reasons that reflected great honor on one whose artistic conscience is supposed to have been elastic to a degree.
Heralded by Anton, Fiirst Radzivill (1775-1883), whose conception of the subject possessed dignity and depth, now appear four distinctly great composers to whom the poem appealed with irresistible force: Franz Liszt (1811-1886) ; Richard Wagner (1813-1883) ; Robert Schumann (1810-1856) ; and Hector Berlioz (1803-1869). Liszt in his "Faust" symphony (1840), with its wonderful delineations of Faust, Gretchen, and Mephistopheles, and Wagner, in his "Faust" overture (1840), which was to have been the first movement of a "Faust" symphony, used the orchestra as their medium of expression. Schumann gives us a magnificent work in his "Faust," which, how­ever, was not designed for the stage. The founder of the neo-romantic school did not possess the dramatic power necessary to a full exploitation of the material, and his work was too mystical to be popular. In many respects Berlioz was unfitted to give us a consistent setting, and he makes of the "Damnation of Faust" a series of some­what disconnected episodes. His temperament could not respond to the deeper sug­gestions of the subject--no more could Gounod--but like that composer he succeeded in investing the scenes which appealed most forcibly to him with much beauty, and no little power.
To bring a concert performance of an opera like "Faust" within reasonable limits it is always necessary to make "cuts." In the text as given such eliminations are made. There is always the possibility that still other "cuts" may be found necessary, but in that case they will be of minor importance and will not disturb the sequence.
?John Towers gives 50 settings of the story (Dictionary of Operas), and Felix Clement 20 (Opera Dictionnaira), but neither authority refers to any one of the numerous musical adaptations before 1808, the date of the first appearance of Goethe's "Faust."

ACT I
Introduction
Scene I.--Fausfs study. He is seated at a table covered with books and parch-mentsx. It is nearly morning, and his lamp is on the point of going out.
Faust.--Vain! In vain do I call, Through my vigil weary, On creation and its Lord! Never a reply will break the silence
deary-No sign--no single word. Years, how many! are now behind
me-I look in vain! I learn in vain! vain!
vain! The stars grow pale; the dawn covers
the heav'ns. Mysterious night passes away,
[Despairingly
Another day, and yet another day. O death! come in thy pity and bid the
strife be over. What then If thus death will avoid
me, Why should I not go forth and seek
him
All hail; brightest of days and last! Without a dread am I. The land of promise nearing, By spell of magic cheering Shall the narrow strait be passed!
Chorus op Girls. {Without.)--Ah!
careless, idle maiden, Wherefore dreaming still Day with roses laden Cometh o'er the hill. The blithe birds are singing, And hear what they do say: "Through the meadows ringing The harvest is so gay." Brooks and bees and flowers Warble to the grove, Who has time for sadness Awaken to love!
Faust.--Foolish echoes of human glad­ness,
Go by, pass on your way!
Goblet so often drained by my father's hand so steady,
Why now dost thou tremble in mine
Chorus op Reapers. {Without.)--Come forth, ye reapers, young and hoary!
'Twas long ago the early swallow Went up where eye can never follow-Yonder in the blue, far away. The earth is proud with harvest glory I Rejoice and pray.
Faust.--If I pray there is none to
hear-To give me back my love, Its believing and its glow. Accurst be.all ye thoughts of earthly
pleasure,
And every by-passed treasure, Which by memory binds me below! Accurst ye toys, which did allure me, Yet, when possessed, no rapture could
secure me.
Fond dreams of hope! ambitions high, And their fulfillment so rare! Accurst, my vaunted learning, And forgiveness and prayer! Accurst the patience that calms the
yearning! Infernal king, appear!
[Mephistopheles appears
MephistophelEs.--Here am I! You stare as you greet me. Does it fright you to meet me With sword at my side, And cap on my head, And a purse rather heavy, And a gay velvet cloak on my
shoulder,
I travel as noblemen travel. Speak out, wise man, what is your
will At once tell me. Are you afraid
Faust.--No.
Mephistopheles.--Do you doubt my might to aid you
Faust.--It may be.
Mephistopheles.--It were easy to prove me.
Faust.--Begone!

Now as a royal lady
He would adore me. Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! as now a royal lady per­chance he would adore mel
Here are more, ready to adorn me!
Let us see this necklace, and bracelet, and oh!
A string of pearls! Ah!
It feels like a weight laid on my arm to oppress me.
Ah! Ah! Ah! the joy past compare, etc. {Enter Faust and Mephistopheles
Faust.--Take my arm a little while.
Margarita.--I pray you, I pray you,
excuse me! Mephistopheles (Offering his arm to
Martha).--My arm!
Martha (Aside).--How sweet a smile!
MephisTophei,ES (Aside).--This good
neighbor hopes to steal me. Yes, she hopes to steal me.
Margarita.--Pray you, sir, excuse me! Martha.--Pray you, don't leave me.
Faust.--Pray you, forgive mel But why are you lonely
[To Margarita
Margarita.--My mother is gone; At the war is my brother; One dear little sister I had, But, little darling, she, too, is dead! The angel! the angel! Loved me, and loved me only; I waited on her, night and day. How I worked for her! oh, so dearly! But those to whom we cling most
dearly
Are the first to be called away. Sure as ever morning came, Came her call, and I must be there! Since she could speak, she called me
mother.
Oh, my bird! ne'er for another Half so truly my heart will care!
6o Official Program Book
Faust.--If a second angel, made by
heaven,
Could so pure, could so perfect be, She was an angel! An angel sister to thee. No, no; do not leave me! Wherefore should you fear Heaven! strike me down, if I deceive
you! For why should you fear
Margarita.--You laugh at me! Ah, my lord, I fear Words like yours to hear! While they murmur near, I must, alas! suspect you. I pray you to leave me. Yes! I must not hear them, Should they yet deceive me!
Martha.--Sir! you do not hear, And your quiet sneer Is put on to grieve me. Sir ! you do not hear! Oh! that sneer, that sneer, Is put on to grieve me! You go like another ! After having spoken, Leaving one alone. Why should you be gone, To leave me
Mephistopheles.--Do not be severe! The time is near when I must leave
you.
Do not be severe! ' .
If I go and travel, Does that mean that I deceive you If I travel on, does that deceive you!
Margarita.--The hour is late! Farewell!
Faust.--Oh! never leave me now, I pray
thee! Why not enjoy this lovely night a
little longer
Let me gaze on the form before me! While from yonder ether blue Look how the stars of eve, Bright and tender, linger o'er me! To love thy beauty, too.
Margarita.--Oh, how strange, like a
spell,
Does the evening bind me! And a deep, languid charm I feel without alarm, With this melody enwind me, And all my heart subdue! Let me now try my fortune!
Faust.--What is this
Margarita (Taking the leaves from a
flower). Let me, let me but try.
Faust.--Was it her fancy
Margarita.--He loves me--he loves
me not! He loves me!
Faust (To her).--Ah 'tis no tale
betraying;
The flower has told thee true! Repeat the words anew That Nature's herald brings thee! He loves thee!
In that spell, defy what fate can do-In love, no mortal power Faithful hearts can sever! Whatever the weal or woe, We will be faithful forever! Ever true! ever faithful!
0 tender moon, O starry Heav'n, Silent above thee, where the angels
are enthroned, Hear me swear how dearly do I love
thee! Yet once again, loved one, let me
hear thee,
It is but love to be near thee, Thine own and thine alone, Ah! loved one! I am thine own! . I am thine own, and thine alone. Margarita!
Margarita.--Ah! begone! Faust.--Unkind one! Margarita.--I falter! Faust.--To bid me thus begone!
Margarita.--Ah! begone! Ah! I dare not hear ! Ah! how I falter ! I faint with fear! Pity, and spare the heart of Margarita.
1 entreat you only in mercy to begone!
Faust.--Oh, fair and tender child! Angel, so holy, thou shalt control me, Be passion ever so wild! I obey--but at morn
Margarita.--Yes, at morn, very early! At morn, all day!

Faust.--One word at parting! The one, one word of heaven say-Thou lov'st me!
[Hastens towards the pavilion, then stops short on the thresh­old, and wafts a kiss to Faust.
Margarita.--I love thee!
Faust.--Were it already morn! Ah, now away!
MephtstophelES.--Why, thou dreamer! Faust.--Thou hast overheard
MephistophelES.--Well, I have, Your parting, with its modest word. Go back, on the spot, to your school again!
Faust.--Let me pass!
MephistophelES.--Not a step; you shall
stay, and overhear again That which she telleth to the stars.
You dreamer!
[Margarita opens the window I know! Look! there she opens the window.
Margarita.--He loves me ! he loves me!
Repeat it again, bird, that callest!
Soft wind that fallest!
When the light of evening dieth,
Bear a part in the strain.
He loves me! Ah! our world is glo­rious,
And more than heaven above!
The air is balmy
With the very breath of love!
How the boughs embrace and murmur!
At morn ! at morn!
Ah, speed, thou night, away!
He will return! Come 1
Faust.--Margarita! Margarita.--Ah!
M3phistophei,es.--There! Ha, ha, ha! Ha!
ACT IV
Scene I.--Grand Square.--Procession of Soldiers and Citizens.--Valentine and SiEbSi, meet.
SiEBEL.--When all was young and
pleasant,
May was blooming, I, thy poor friend, took part with thee
in play; Now that the cloud of Autumn dark
is glooming,
Now is for me, too, mournful the day! Hope and delight have passed from
life awayl We were not born with true love to
trifle! Nor born to part because the wind
blows cold;
What tho' the storm the summer gar­den rifle,
O Margarita! O Margarita ! Still on the bough is left a leaf of gold.
Chorus of Soldiers.--Glory and love to
the men of old,
Their sons may copy their virtues bold;
Courage in heart and sword in hand, Ready to fight or ready to die for
Fatherland!
Who needs bidding to dare by a trum­pet blown Who lacks pity to spare when the field
is won Who could fly from a foe, if alone or
last, And boast he was true, as coward
might do when peril is past Now to home again! We come, the long and fiery strife of
battle is over; Rest is pleasant after toil As hard as ours beneath a stranger
sun,
Many a maiden fair is waiting Here to greet her truant soldier-lover ! And many a heart will fail and brow
grow pale to hear-To hear the tale of cruel peril he has
run. We are at home! We are at home!
[All exeunt rejoicing. [Enter Mephistopheles and Faust.
62 Official Program Book
Mephistopheles.--Why linger here my
master You'll find her in the house!
Faust.--Be still, thou fiend! Too much have I already brought here of sorrow and sin!
Mephistopheles. -Then why come
again,
After having once left her I know of beauties so fresh, and far
more kindly, And waiting but for you!
Faust.--Margarita!
Mephistopheles.--I see that I talk in
vain,
Since, like a fool, you love her. But to unclose yonder door We must move her, Just listen while I sing her a fanciful
strain!
Catarina, while you sham asleep, You contrive to hear, Thro' the lattice shyly peep and see
your love is near!
To his mistress dear, while creeping Thus sang her cavalier! Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! 'Ere the tell-tale moon had risen, A bird of night thus did sing-Lock thy heart like any prison, Till thou secure a wedding-ring.
Catarina! cruel, cruel! Cruel to deny to him who loves thee-For thee doth mourn and sigh-A single kiss from thy rosy lips. Thus to slight a faithful lover, Who so long hath been a rover, Too bad, I declare!
[Enter Valentine from the house.
Valentine. -What is your will with me
Mephistopheles. -With you, my cap­tain splendid
My humble serenade was not for you intended.
Valentine.--At my sister I You then would jeer.
Faust.--Oh heaven!
[Valentine breaks Mephisto­pheles' guitar.
Mephistopheles. -Is there something
that bites you Or, may be, no serenade delights you
Valentine.--Enough of insult! Reply!
By which of you two shall I be re­quited
For name defiled, for laurel blighted!
Which of you two shall be thrust by my sword
Mephistopheles.--Will you be mad Come on, my pupil,
[Faust draivs his sword. And take him at his word!
Faust.--His eye, so stern and dark with
blood,
With fatal might enthralls me! Is not a brother's vengeance just, If death befalls me
Valentine.--Thou who rulest right, Thou knowest the voice that calls me, My sword shall find his heart outright If death befalls me!
Mephistopheles.-Such an eye, dark
with blood,
Enkindles, not appalls me; For I smile, since in his ire I see good luck befalls me!
Valentine.--Thou charm! on which to
shield my life,
Frail Margarita's pray'rs were spoken, I will not have thee in the strife, Begone, accursed token!
Mephistopheles.--That's gallant, on my word!
Valentine.--On guard, Sir! HeaVn save the right!
Mephistopheles.--Be not eager to fight!
lean on me! He shall have it.
[Faust and Valentine fight--they make four thrusts. Valentine falls.
So, captain, lie you there, On your last bed of glory! And now come away! come away!
[Exeunt Faust and Mephisto-phei.es.
Sixth Concert 63
Chorus.--This way was the noise 1 In the streets they were fighting, And one is on the ground, Over there in the shade.
[Martha and citizens enter. But he is not yet dead! He is trying to rise! Come to his aid 1 Support him, raise his head!
Valentine --Too late! too late! There's no need, good friends, to be­wail me! Too often have I looked on death to
be afraid, Now that he is near.
lEnter Margarita at back.
Margarita.--Valentine! Valentine!
Valentine.--Margarita, my sister, What brings thee here Begone!
Margarita.--Mercy!
Valentine.--Thy shame hath slain me! Her fine betrayer's sword Hath sent her brother home!
Chorus.--Traitor's sword! SlEBEL.--Pardon!
Margarita.--Oh torture cruel! my doom is come!
SrBBEL.--Pray have mercy!
Chorus.--Her shame hath slain him! Her shame hath sent her brother home!
Valentine.--Hear my last words! Margarita, when fate strikes thee
down,
Must thou, as I, be ready: No use is it to struggle or pray When the call from on high bids us
to come away; Live, live, meanwhile, Enjoy thy guilty splendor, Wear a rich robe thy white limbs to
enfold. Cover with rings thy hand so soft and
tender! Laugh at the feast with other women
bold! Go, and talk of thy mother,
Who did love thee so well,
And thy wild soldier brother.
Live, and grow old!
And remember for thy shame how he
fell! Let heaven reject thee and earth be
thy hell!
Chorus.--Do not curse where thou liest, Beware how thou defiest! In Heaven's name Make thy peace ere thou diest! Forgive her, if thou wouldst thyself be forgiv'n!
Valentine.--Margarita, let me curse
thee!
On thy death-bed thou too must lie! Ah! thy hand hath slain me! Like a soldier I die.
[Valentine dies.
SiEbel, Martha, and Chorus.--Heaven
give him rest!
And accord her forgiveness for her sin.
Scene II--The Church.--Margarita discovered kneeling at a font.
Margarita.--O Thou, who on thy throne Giv'st an ear for repentance! Here, before thy feet, let me pray.
MephistophelEs.--No! Thou shalt pray
no more!
Let her know, ere she prayeth, Demons of ill, what is in store.
Chorus op Demons.--Margarita! Margarita.--Who calls me
Chorus.--Margarita! Margarita.--I falter--afraid! Oh! save me from myself! Has even now the hour of torture be­gun
[The tomb opens and discovers Mephistopheles who bends over to Margarita's ear.
MephistophelES.--Recollect the old
time, when the angels, caressing,
Did teach thee to pray,
Recollect how thou comest to ask for a blessing
At the dawn of the day!
When thy feet did fall back, and thy breath it did falter
64 Official Program Book
As though to ask for aid;
Recollect thou wast then of the rite
and the altar, In thine innocence afraid! And now be glad and hear ! Thy playmates do claim thee, From below, to their home! The worm to welcome thee, The fire to warm thee, Wait but till thou shalt come!
Margarita.--Ah! What sound in the
gloom
Is beneath me, around me Angels of wrath Is this your sen­tence of cruel doom
¦;
Chorus of Priests and Boys (behind
the scenes).
When the book shall be unsealed, When the future be revealed, What frail mortal shall not yield
Margarita.--And I, the frailest of the
frail, Have most need of Thy forgiveness 1
Mephistophei.es.--No! Let them pray,
let them weep!
But thy sin is deep, too deep, To hope forgiveness! No! No!
Priests and Boys.--Where shall human
sinner be,
How lie hid in earth and sea, To escape, escape eternity
Margarita.--Ah! The hymn is around
and above me, It bindeth a cord 'round my brow!
MephistophelES.--Farewell! thy friends
who love thee!
And thy guardians above thee! The past is done! The payment now !
Margarita.--O Thou! on Thy throne,
who dost hear me By the side of my grave, Let a tear of mercy fall near me, To pity and save!
Chorus.--O Thou on Thy throne, who
dost hear us
That go down to the grave, Let a tear of mercy fall near me To pity and save.
Mephistophei.es.--Margarita! 'Tis for­ever! Mine art thou!
Margarita,--Ah!

ACT V.
A Prison. -Margarita on the ground asleep.--Enter Faust and Mephisto-PHELES at the prison door.
Faust (To Mephistopheles.)
My heart is torn with grief and re­pentance !
O what anguish! O worm that will not die!
O fire! no art can stay!
She lies there at my feet.
The young and lovely being,
Imprisoned here because of me I
As if herself, not I, were guilty!
No wonder that her fright hath rea­son taken away;
Our little child, O Heaven! was slain by her
In sudden madness!
Margarita! Margarita!
[Margarita awakes and arises.
Margarita.--Ah! do I hear thee once again,
The darling song of time gone by;
That was not the laughter of the de­mons
Rejoicing in my ruin!
'Tis his own voice I hear!
Faust.--Margarita!
Margarita.--His hand is here to save
me!
It is he! It is he ! I am free! For mine own faithful love is here! Ah ! I love thee only 1 Love thee, love thee only; Nor shame on the scaffold Can make my heart afraid! Since thou cam'st to find me, No tears shall blind me! Take me up to heaven, To heaven by thy aid!

Faust.--Yes, I love thee only, Let who will goad me on, Or mock me or upbraid! Thy look doth appall me, Thy truth doth recall me! Earth will grow as heaven, By thy beauty made!
Margarita.--Not yet! This is the fair Where I was seen by you, In happy days gone by-The day your eye did not dare To meet my eye! "High-born and lovely maid, Forgive my humble duty! Let me, your willing slave, Attend you home today." "No, my lord, not a lady am I, Nor yet a beauty--not a lady, not a
beauty!
And do not need an arm To help me on my way!"
Faust.--Come away, if thou lov'st me!
Margarita.--No! Stay! longer stay, Thy hand in mine take again, As oft of old in days long vanish'd.
Faust.--Come, Margarita, Come, es­cape! O Heav'n! she hears me not.
[Enter MephistophelES.
MephistophelEs.--Then leave her! then
leave her!
Or remain to your shame. If it please you to stay. Mine is no more the game!
Margarita.--Who is there Dost thou see there in the shadow. With an eye like a coal of fire. What does he here--he, who forbade me to pray!
Mephistophei,ES.--Let us go, ere with
dawn
Doth justice bring. Hark! the horses are panting in the
court-yard below, To bear us away! Come, ere it is day, Or stay and behold her undone!
Margarita.--Away, thou fiend, away! Faust.--Come!
Margarita.--Away, for I will prayl
Faust.--Come, mine own, ere 'tis too late to save theel
Margarita.--Holy angel! in heaven
blest,
My spirit longs with thee to rest! Great heavens! pardon grant, I im­plore thee, For soon shall I appear before thee!
Faust.--Come with me, I command! Follow me!
Margarita.--Oh save me ere I perish forever!
Faust.--Come with me!
MephistophelES.--Let us leave her! Come, or be lost! Come, or be lost! For the day is near!
Margarita.---To my despair give ear, I
pray thee!
Holy angel in heaven blest, My spirit longs with thee to rest!
Faust.--Come, come, wilt thou not
hear
Come, lean on my breast! The early dawn is gray! Come, oh come; I'm here to save thee.
Mephistophei,ES.--Come away, come
away! the dawn is gray; Come, ere they claim thee; Come away, the dawn is gray! If the girl be not possest-Faust.--Margarita!
Margarita.--But why such an air of despair
Faust.--Margarita!
Margarita.--But why thy hand covered
with blood Go! I'm not thy prey.
Faust.--Ah!
MephistophELES.--She is mine!
Chorus op Angels.--No! not so! All who have sinned here May here repent the sin By their holy living. Let earth be severe! Heaven is forgiving.

The activity of the University Musical Society is by no means covered by this list. The 1,150 programs already included in the various concert series of the University School of Music, cover well nigh the entire field of ensemble and solo music. Many important ensemble works were given their first hearing in this country in these con­certs.
A reasonably conservative estimate of the number of works performed at these concerts would place them at 9,000. These added to the Choral Union total would give considerably more than 10,500 works heard during this period.
