(Burlesque) (Bellstedt) Sousa’s Band Huguenots — Selection Act IV. (Benediction of the Poignards) (Meyerbeer) Sousa’s Band The production of this magnificent work was the crowning point of Meyerbeer’s fame as a composer. He surrounded the passionate and dramatic poem by Scribe with music of wonderful effectiveness, and the opera is full of the most powerful situations imaginable. Perhaps the most thrilling of these great scenes is this one in Act IV, in which the lords swear to massacre the Huguenots. Hungarian Fantasia. (Tobani) Pryor’s Band Many of the melodies of Hungary are most oeautiful ones, and this is especially true of those chosen by Mr. Tobani for this brilliant fantasie. The arrangement is a masterly one, and is splendidly played by the band. Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2. (Part I) (Liszt) Pryor’s Band Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2. (Part II) (Liszt) Pryor’s Band Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 9. (Finale) (Le Carnaval de Pesth) (Liszt) (Op. 94, No. 9) Pryor’s Band Among all of Liszt’s writings, the Hungarian Rhapsodies continue to be the favorites of the virtuosi and the public. These Rhapsodies Hongroises are so called because they are really built about the melodies of the most romantic and poetic of European nomads, the gypsies of Hungary. Liszt, himself a Hungarian, was familar with these tribes when a boy, and their music, their songs and dances, the mystery of their coming and going, pro¬ duced a strong effect on the impressionable child. The fourteen Rhapsodies are the result of these childhood impressions and were written in after years, when the young composer had gained the knowledge which enabled him to translate the fascinating strains of the czardas into the language of the piano ; and these Magyar melodies are embellished with brilliant technical ornamentation such as the master loved to write. Of these fourteen wild and dashing “Rhapsodies,” No. 2 and No. 9 are the favorites, and are indeed fascinating compositions. Impassioned Dream Waltz. (Ensueno Seductor) (Rosas) Pryor’s Band New 1 2-inch walzes for dancing are always welcome, but this one will be especially liked, as it is the most beautiful (with the possible exception of the favorite, “Over the Waves”) of the writings of this Spanish composer. In Lover’s Lane. (Pryor) Pryor’s Band Pryor’s popular instrumental novelty. It is delightfully played, with bell and castanet effects. International March. (Roberts) Pryor’s Band In the Good Old Summer Time. * Sousa’s Band Solos by Pryor and Rogers, whistling by the band and refrain by Dudley and Macdonough. Invitation to the Waltz. (Weber) Sousa’s Band Iola. (Intermezzo) (Johnson) Sousa’s Band Italian Riflemen March. (II Bersagliere) (Boccalari) Pryor’s Band Japanese National Anthem.
