Walkiire Fantasia. (Wagner) Pryor's Band 12
Containing some of the finest portions of this second opera of the Niebelungen Ring. At first we hear the motive of The Sword by full band, followed by the tumultuous Ride of the Valkyries, one of the most tremendous compositions in existence. A skillful modulation brings us to the last act, and a part of the great scene between Wotan and Brunnhilde is given, beginning with the wonderful Siegfried, Guardian of the Sword theme. The closing line of Wotan’s Farewell is heard on the cornet, fol¬ lowed by the Fire Music, an exquisite blending of the two fire motive with Brunnhilde’ s Sleep.

Whistlers, The. ( Intermezzo ) (Reiterer) Sousa’s Band 10
Not since the “Warblers’ Serenade” have we had such a dainty little whistling number as this intermezzo from Fruhlingsluft by Ernst Reiterer.
It contains some beautiful melodies, notably the whistling strain.

31221 William Tell Overture — Part IV — Finale. (Rossini) Pryor’s Band 12
William Tell, Rossini’s last and greatest work, was produced in 1829 at the Paris Opera. This great overture, which Berlioz has called a sym¬ phony in four parts, is a fitting prelude to such a noble and serious work
and is full of beautiful contrasts.
The first movement is reposeful, expressing the solitude of nature, and is followed by the contrasting Storm, a majestic and awe-inspiring tonepicture. To the Storm succeeds a beautiful pastoral with a delicious melody for the English horn, and as Berlioz says: “with the gamboling of the flute above this calm chant producing a charming freshness and gayety." As the last notes of the melody die away, the trumpets enter with a brilliant fanfare on the splendid finale, a fitting climax to a great work.
