HIGGINSON FIFTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1938-1939 [1] CAPTURE EACH PRECIOUS, FLEETING MOMENT Cherish those childhood hours of artistic endeavour, mother and father. No moments in Life's span are so bright with promise. Music with all its grace and grandeur is writing in young, responsive hearts its story of the fine, the beautiful, the significant. Under its gracious spell, the future throws wide its treasure house of priceless gifts . opening new vistas of hope, aspiration, and understanding . giving life a newer, truer meaning. Guard those hours jealously. Demand from them the full measure of achievement that only a truly great piano can bring. ilasim&ljiamlm r AMPICO HALL HOME O F MASON & HAMLIN CHECKERING 146 BOYLSTON ST,REET TEL.

Cailliet served as associate conductor of the Allentown Band from 1934 to 1969 so this tribute recording is most appropriate. Among the original works is the variations on Pop Goes the Weasel, a most unique composition which is dedicated to the Allentown Band. The transcriptions include Overture from Nabucco (Verdi), Finlandia (Sibelius) and "Little" Fugue in Gm (Bach). For those seeking a recording of Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral (Wagner), Cailliet's most celebrated band transcription, it can be found on Allentown Volume 8. This is a collection of wonderful music set for band by a true legend; highly recommended.
