The selection contains some of the finest music of this wonderful masterpiece, in which Wagner has portrayed the story of the Dutchman condemned to sail forever on the stormy sea unless redeemed by the love of a woman.
Two variations of the exquisite theme representing Redemption by W’oman’s Love are given. We first hear the magnificent strain played by the band 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. " ° Forge in the Forest Michaelis
One of the most famous of descriptive numbers. The first strain, a weird melody, represents night inthe forest. At the first glimmering of daybreak the lark and the cuckoo vie with each other in 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.
Frozen Bill Cakewalk
Although with rare irony Mr. Pryor has christened his new cakewalk Frozen Bill,’’ there is no danger of any listener remaining frozen, as this new ragtime number would galvanize into life an Egyptian mummy. It is not necessary to say more than. that this number is fully as good as ‘““Mr. Blackman,” or “‘ Artful Artie.”
Georgia Sunset Cakewalk Brown-Lampe Gioconda Selection Ponchielli’s operatic works exhibit well his great dramatic gifts, and Gioconda, especially,
contains most powerful and effective concerted music, some of which is included in this fine selection.
Hallelujah Chorus—Messiah Handel
This is the most noble and effective of all the choral numbers in Handel’s great oratorio. At the first performance of the Messiah, on March 23d, 1743, the great audience was so affected by the grandeur and majesty of this chorus that during the second part it rose and remained standing to the close. From that day to this it has been the custom of a Messiah audience to rise the moment the first ‘* Hallelujah’ is given by the singers.
Hawaiian Hymn _ National Air (Hawaii ponoi)
Holland—National Songs
(a) National Air—‘* Wien Neerlandsch Bloed.’’
(b) Patriotic Song—"' Wilhelmus van Nassauwen.”’ ,
Hungarian Fantasia Tobani Many of the melodies of Hungary are most beautiful 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.
Impassioned Dream Waltz EnsuenoSeductor Rosas New 12-inch waltzes 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.
