This Fund was raised and has been used as the financial reserve of the Orchestra. It was originally $150,000 and although drawn upon to meet the deficits of recent seasons, it now promises once more to become a substantial in- surance of the Orchestra's future.

R.H.STEARNS CO. BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL [8] OVERTURE TO "ROSAMUNDE" By Franz Schubert Born at Lichtenthal, Vienna, January 31, 1797; died at Vienna, November 19, 1828 Rosamunde, Furstin von Cypern, a romantic drama by Wilhelmine von Ch6zy with incidental music by Schubert, was first performed at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, December 21, 1823, and once repeated, but Schubert never wrote an overture for this short-lived piece. At these two performances the overture he had written in 1822 for his opera Alfonso und Estrella was used. The overture which now bears the name Rosamunde and was so published, was composed for Die Zauberharfe, an opera in three acts to a text of Georg von Hofmann, in 1819-20, another stage failure. It would therefore more rightly be called the Overture to The Magic Harp. The score calls for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons and trumpets in two's, four horns, three trombones, timpani and strings. The Overture was last performed at the concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra March 11, 1910, when Max Fiedler was conductor. The musical numbers in Rosamunde consisted of three entr'actes, two ballets, a "Shepherd's Melody" for winds, a soprano air and three choruses. The playwright alone can be blamed for the fact that the piece barely survived a second presentation and quickly passed into oblivion, for the musical numbers which were as charming as the text [9] was preposterous were favorably received and the reviews were on the whole enthusiastic, although one critic took the young composer to task for his "unfortunate bizarrerie." Since the tribulations of Rosa- munde, Princess turned Shepherdess, had no connection whatever with this Overture, and since most of the text is lost anyway, there would be no point in pursuing the subject here. It was Madame von Chezy who had written the libretto for Weber's "Euryanthe," a text which became the subject of public ridicule — "A librettist," wrote Sir George Grove, "whose lot seems to have been to drag down the musicians connected with her." The composer may surely be forgiven for salvaging his two overtures from the ruins of the unsuccessful stage pieces to which they belonged.
