Martha Overture. Pryor’s Band 12
Flotow’s melodious overture has always been a most popular one, and this fine record will interest those who love the French composer’s delightful Martha, with its spirited Fair Scene, its beautiful duets and quartet, the famous third act finale and the beloved “Last Rose of Summer."
Maximilian Robespierre Overture. ( Finale ) (Litolff)
Pryor’s Band 12
An impressive record of one of the most celebrated of descriptive over¬ tures, which is a musical portrayal of the events of the French Revolution.
The last portion of the overture is given on this record, which begins with a passage depicting the confusion in the streets of Pans during the Revo¬ lution. The Marseillaise is heard in the distance, accompanied by weird harmonies which seem to indicate the fall of the dictator, Robespierre.
His arrest and trial, and the rush to the scaffold are represented by a mad, riotous strain which ends suddenly with a crash as the guillotine falls.
After an impressive pause a short funeral dirge, pianissimo, is heard, fol¬ lowed by a fanfare and triumphal march indicating joy at the tyrant’s death and the end of the Reign of Terror.
Mefistofele Selection. (Boito) Pryor’s Band 12
Arrigo Boito well deserves a conspicuous place among the great modern composers. His Mefistofele ranks with the masterpieces of modern Italy, and contains scenes of extraordinary beauty, notably the Garden Scene and the great Prison Scene.
This selection is arranged in a masterly way by Bocchaveccia, and he has cleverly included much of the most effective portions of this great work.
The great finale to Act IV, which closes the selection, is thrilling in the extreme, and the record here is of tremendous volume.
Melodies of Robert Burns. Pryor’s Band 12
A collection of some of the best-known airs used by Burns; containing “Scots Wha Hae” — “John Anderson” — “We’re a’ Noddin” — “O Kenmure” and “Auld Lang Syne.”
Merry Wives of Windsor Overture. (Nicolai) Pryor’s Band 10
A most captivating and delightful overture — one of the most beautiful records we have ever listed.
Mignon Overture. (Thomas) Pryor’s Band 12
This overture is full of the grace and delicacy for which Thomas’ music is celebrated, and contains the principal themes, notably Filina’s dashing “Polonaise.” The record is a fine example of the perfection attained in Victor products. Every detail of the wonderful instrumentation which Thomas has written, and especially the passages for the woodwind, is clearly brought out.
Miss Dixie. (Hager) Pryor’s Band 10
A lively descriptive march with a bell solo.
Monastery Bells. ( With Chimes) (Wely) Pryor’s Band 10

Moraima. ( Caprice ) (Espinoza) Police Band of Mexico 12
Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna. ( Overture )
(Von Suppe) Pryor’s Band 12
This splendid Von Suppe overture has long been a public favorite, and is indeed a fine composition, as full of light and shade as Vienna itself.
