By Arthur Pryor’s Band Overture ‘‘1812’’ ‘Tschaikowsky
This great Tschaikowsky overture, one of the masterpieces of descriptive writing, is a favorite one, not only with lovers of the more serious music but with the public in general, which is always impressed by its stirring and warlike strains and wonderful climax.
Faithfully does the music portray the changing tide of battle as the standard of France moves forward to apparent victory, only to be repulsed by the Russians. Retreating, but bravely fighting, the French are finally routed and the glorious Russian Hymn becomes a pean of victory, while the church bells of Moscow peal triumphantly.
Of Pryor’s rendition of this noble overture it is hard to speak without enthusiasm ; but we will merely say that no such reproduction of a military overture has ever been offered to the public. The playing by the band, the masterly way that Mr. Pryor has conducted the number, and the recording of the great volume of tone and the pealing chimes combine to make one of the most thrilling reproductions imaginable. Peer Gynt Suite, No. 1 (Opus 46) Edvard Grieg Part III. ‘°* Anitra’s Dance.’ : Peer Gynt Suite, No. 1 Edvard Grieg Part IV. In the Hall of the Mountain King.”’
This Peer Gynt, No. 1, is perhaps the best known and loved of all Grieg’s compositions. It is taken from the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen’s dramatic poem, ' Peer Gynt.’
In this third movement we see plainly the lithe, supple form of Anitra as she moves through the graceful and fascinating figures of the dance.’’ Anitra is the daughter of a Bedouin chief, and Peer Gynt during his wanderings has met and loved her.
The final movement describes the hero’s pursuit of the goblins after his departure from the hall of the Mountain King. Peru—National Air Peter Piper Characteristic March Henry Pilgrims’ Chorus (From Lombardi) Verdi

Pilgrim’s Chorus — Tannhauser W agner Pilgrim’s Chorus — Tannhauser W agner Plantation Echoes Conterno
A splendid medley of old time Southern airs and dances concluding with “‘ Old Folks at Home”’ and “ Dixie.’ Poet and Peasant Overture Von Suppe
Poet’ and Peasant has been heard more often than any other composition of its class, with the possible exception of the Tannhauser and William Tell Overtures; and the three are often spoken of asthe ‘‘ model overtures.’’ This record is one of the finest in the entire list of Pryor overtures. Prince of Pilsen Selection Luders

Radetzky March One of the most famous Strauss of the Strauss marches, and a great favorite not only in Germany but with military bands the world over.
