Fackeltanz ( Torchlight Dance) (Meyerbeer) Pryor’s Band 12
The Fackeltanz, or dance with flambeaux, is a survival of medieval times, and is often a feature of court weddings in Germany. This number is the finest of the series and is a splendid composition. Particularly impressive is a magnificent solo for the basses, which is a fine piece of recording.
Fairest of the Fair March (Sousa) Sousa’s Band 10
A splendid composition by this famous writer of marches.
Faust — Soldiers' Chorus (Gounod) Garde Republicaine Band 10
Faust — Waltz from Kermesse Scene (Gounod) Pryor’s Band 10
This delightful waltz, which has been a model of its kind ever since the first performance of Faust, is played here with the absolute precision and daintiness which are indispensable to its proper performance. A remarkably smooth and beautiful record.
Faust Selection (Gounod) Sousa’s Band 12
Festival Overture (Leutner) Pryor’s Band 12
Festival Overture (Tschaikowsky) Pryor’s Band 12
One of the Russian composer’s most magnificent overtures, full of splendid effects, with its martial fanfares, drum passages, and the impressive Danish Hymn which is used as a base for some effective ornamentation.
A majestic and inspiring composition, played with unusual brilliancy, and conducted in a masterly manner by Mr. Pryor.
Fledermaus Selection (The Bat) (Strauss) Sousa’s Band 12
Strauss’ delightful operetta, with its entrancing melodies, its gaiety, and the delicate beauty of the score, has been a source of pleasure to operagoers ever since its production in 1874. This selection contains the best portions of the opera and makes a sprightly and interesting record.
Flora — Twilight Serenade (with bell solo) (Mehden) Pryor’s Band 10
Florentiner March Sousa’s Band 10
A superb record of a famous European march, one of the most stirring examples of military music we can recall.
Flying Dutchman Fantasia (Wagner) Pryor’s Band 12
Flying Dutchman Overture (Wagner) Pryor’s Band 12
These records contain some of the finest music of this wonderful master¬ piece, in which Wagner has portrayed the story of the Dutchman con¬ demned to sail forever on the stormy sea unless redeemed by the love of a woman.
In the Fantasia two variations of the exquisite theme representing Re¬ demption by Woman’s Love are given. We first hear the magnificent strain played by the orchestra in Act III when Senta plunges into the sea; then follows the original form first heard in Senta ’s ballad. Then appears the second of the two principal themes, the Flying Dutchman motive ; a weird melody representing the restless wanderer. In strong contrast comes the rollicking chorus of Daland’s sailors and the fantastic dance which follows. The Fantasia is brought to an effective close with a portion of the great duet between Senta and the Dutchman.
Forest King March (Peters) Pryor’s Band 10
Forge in the Forest (Michaelis) Pryor’s Band 10
One of the most famous of descriptive numbers. The first strain, a weird melody, represents night in the forest. At the first glimmering of daybreak the lark and the cuckoo vie with each other in their greeting to the dawn. The forest awakes to life, the smith appears and begins his work, keeping time on his anvil to the joyous strain.
