[ 1240 ] OVERTURE TO THE OPERA "OBERON" By Carl Maria von Weber
Born in Eutin, Oldenburg, in Germany, November 18,* 1786; died in
London, June 5, 1826
The Opera "Oberon," or "The Elf King's Oath," completed April 9, 1826, had its first production at Covent Garden, London, on April 12, the composer conduct- ing, Weber composed it by order of Charles Kemble, Manager of the Covent Garden. The text, by James Robinson Planche, was an English translation of C. M. Wieland's "Oberon." Planche was helped by the earlier translation of W. Sotheby. "Oberon" was first heard in Germany in Leipzig, December 23 of the same year. The first performance in America has been stated as given at the Park Theatre, New York, October 9, 1828. Philip Hale, remarking that "Oberon" has undergone many re- visions on account of its bulk of 'spoken text, doubts whether this performance was "exactly as Weber wrote it" and names the "first veritable performance" as one given at the Academy of Music in New York by the Parepa-Rosa English opera company, March 29, 1870. The first performance in Boston was in Music Hall by this same company, May 23, 1870. The opera was revived at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, December 28, 1918, when Artur Bodanzky conducted; Rosa Ponselle sang Rezia; Giovanni Martinelli, Sir Huon.
* The date of Weber's birth is universally given as December 18, 1786. Nicolas Slonimsky, who has profitably devoted his time to the checking and correction of wrong dates handed down from one compiler of dictionaries to another, offers this information : "Music dic- tionaries, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and other reference works all give the wrong date of Weber's birth, December 18, 1786. I have obtained a copy of Weber's registry of baptism from Eutin, Germany, which states that Carl Maria Friedrick Ernst von Weber (his full name) was baptized on November 20, 1786. He was probably born on November 18, which was the day on which he celebrated his birthday in later life. At any rate, the discovery of his baptismal registry disposes of the December 18 date which for some reason has been accepted even by Weber's German biographers."
[ ^41 ] The most recent performance of the Overture at the Friday and Saturday con- certs of this orchestra was on February 28, 1947. The Overture is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.
at the end of the manuscript score of the romantic opera "Oberon," l\ the composer wrote the customary words "Soli Deo Gloria!" Weber had good reasons to offer this exclamation of pious relief. The text of the opera had been hurried to him act by act for com- position. Its production at the Covent Garden on April 12 was but three days away. He had been compelled to work in great haste and likewise to learn English, for the libretto of James Robinson Planche was in that language.* The plot was as involved as most opera plots were apt to be at that time. He objected in a letter to the librettist, "The intermixing of so many principal actors who do not sing — the omission of the music in the most important moments — all these things deprive our 'Oberon* of the title of an opera, and will make 4 him [sic] unfit for all other theatres in Europe, which is a very bad thing for me, but — passons la-dessus"
* Weber, in "one hundred and fifty-three lessons," made himself sufficiently familiar with English for the purposes of composing "Oberon." He could express himself in letters to Planche at length and clearly, if not accurately. When Planche sent him a French transla- tion of the text, he answered: "I thank you obligingly for your goodness of having translated the verses in French ; but it was not so necessary, because I am, though yet a weak, however a diligent student of the English language."

[ **43 ] Weber was correct in his assumption. "Oberon" as a drama with incidental music was not suitable for the opera houses of the con- tinent, and accordingly was to undergo revisions with the insertion of recitatives and even numbers from his other operas. The plot was full of the extravagant conceits of magic and love under tribulation which were the fashion of the time. Oberon quarrels with Titania
(hers was a silent part) , swears that peace will not be made between them until a pair of mortal lovers prove faithful under the severest trials. The hero, Sir Huon, travels to the East under the supernatural guidance of Puck as Oberon's agent, abducts the Princess Rezia. Both are captured by pirates and condemned to death. But the interven- tion of the magic horn of Oberon (it is also heard in the Overture) saves their lives. One suspects that the popularity of "Oberon" in
London (it ran through thirty-one performances in its first season) had something to do with its resemblance to a pantomime even more than an opera. Mr. Planche confirms this impression when in his "Rec- ollections and Reflections" he describes the unmusical nature of the London public: "A dramatic situation in music was 'caviar to the
General' and inevitably received with cries of 'Cut it short!' from the gallery and obstinate coughing and other significant signs of im- patience from the pit." On top of this series of tribulations Weber was a very sick man. His system was so wasted with tuberculosis that he fulfilled his many

[ »*45 ] obligations only with great effort. He knew that a sentence of death hung over him, and he undertook the English opera for the gold it would bring to his wife and children. When his friend Gubitz, in Berlin, tried to dissuade him from undertaking the journey to London, he answered: "Whether I can or no, I must. Money must be made for my family — money, man. I am going to London to die there. Not
a word! I know it as well as you." The completion of the last act of "Oberon" was indeed a race with death. As his son and biographer, Max Maria von Weber wrote, "All the light and life and freshness and geniality of the work gushed forth from the brain of a weak, sick, bowed-down, irritated man, who was shattered by an incessant cough, who sat at his work table wrapped up in furs, with his swollen feet in wadded velvet boots, and yet shivered with cold in his heated room; as though the genius which created all had nothing in common with the poor suffering body." When he led performances for the fee they would bring, ladies, ob- serving his condition, would shower him the next day with lozenges and jellies, but nothing was done really to spare him; over-adulation
hastened the end. He died in London within two months of the first performance. Max Maria von Weber wrote as follows about the Overture:

[ 1247 3 "Although the opera may bear unmistakable traces of weariness and haste, and sad marks of the spur applied to the composer's nagging genius, and may thus display Weber's mannerisms more than any other of his works, yet that great symphonic introduction to the whole, the Overture, which was completed only two months before his death, soars triumphantly over the influence of the deadly faintness lying heavy on him, and the pressure of outward circumstances. This Overture is in- ferior to none of his others in life, fire, freshness, and wealth of ideas. Combined with those of 'Der Freischiitz' and 'Euryanthe/ and his 'Jubilee' Overture, it forms a magnificent constellation, each star in which shines with a different light, but yet with co-equal splendor. From first to last, the Overture to 'Oberon' is in most intimate sym- pathy with the subject. Every picture of the drama is mirrored forth in it — the world of elves and spirits; the pomp and pride of chivalry and romance; glowing love struggling against slavery, elemental might, separation, and death; the majesty of Oriental enchantment. It has been asserted that Weber went too far, in this Overture, in his con- glomeration of various musical intentions. . . . But still the Overture to 'Oberon' will always remain a monument of strength to the fame of the dramatic, romantic composer." Pitts Sanborn, as annotator for the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, has related interesting circumstances about the prepara- tion of "Oberon": When Weber composed "Oberon" he was a dying man and he knew it. Yet the music in its sum total is cheerful, brilliant, abound-

We may well doubt whether an artist's physical state is necessarily mirrored in his work. The writing of "Oberon" is a chronicle of courage and pathos. In 1824 ^e management of Covent Garden was in the hands of Charles Kemble of the famous theatrical family — an eminent actor himself and a brother of John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons, as well as the father of Fanny Kemble and thus the great-grandfather of the Ameri- can novelist Owen Wister. Inspired by the immense vogue of "Der Freischiitz," he desired an opera by Weber expressly composed to please the British public. So in July, 1824, he went to Ems, where Weber, already consumptive, was taking the waters, to discuss the matter in person with the composer. Kemble had two subjects for an opera in mind. One was Goethe's "Faust," the other Wieland's poem "Oberon" (derived from the chanson de geste "Huon de Bordeaux") . Weber had doubts concern- ing an operatic "Faust" but "Oberon" seized his fancy. Planche was selected to supply the book and Weber himself was to go to London to superintend the rehearsals and conduct the earlier performances. Then came the question of money. Weber refused Kemble's first offer of £500, but when the manager doubled it, he accepted. True, his doctor told him frankly that if he were to go to London, between the climate and the work involved, the end would be a matter of months or perhaps weeks, whereas if he

[ 1*5* ] would spend one year in Italy he might live for four or five. Weber thought of his wife and children and their needs after his death. "As God wills!" he exclaimed and chose London. In spite of his poor health, Weber's artistic conscience would not allow him to set an English text without first mastering the language. Consequently he set out to learn English thoroughly, taking one hun- dred and fifty-three lessons from an Englishman named Carey, and the astonishing progress he made can be gathered from his English letters to Planche. The librettist sent Weber, who was in Dresden, the first and second acts early in January, 1825, ana< tbe composer began his musical sketches on the twenty-third. The score was not finished, how- ever, when Weber started for England on February 7, 1826, accom- panied by his devoted friend Kasper Furstenau, the flautist. In London he was the guest of Sir George Smart, conductor of the London Philharmonic Society. Though gravely ill when he arrived on March 5, and harried by the dampness and fog of London, he braced himself to go through with his task. Rehearsals began on March 9, and he had to be present at all fifteen. The overture, which, like not a few other overtures, was, paradoxical as it may seem, written last, Weber completed on April 9.
Three days later the premiere was a triumph. Benedict in his life of Weber, after recording that the overture was so wildly applauded that the composer-conductor had no choice but to repeat it, goes on to tell us that every other piece also received its full meed of approbation,

When the curtain fell, the entire audience, who had shown the com- poser their attention and regard by remaining in their places till all was over, rose simultaneously with frantic and unceasing calls for Weber, who at last appeared, trembling with emotion, exhausted, but happy." After the performance Weber could write to his wife: "By God's grace I have had tonight such a perfect success as never before." And though dying, he conducted eleven more performances of "Oberon" and several concerts, including one of the Philharmonic Society and a benefit concert at the Argyll Rooms. His entire earnings in London amounted to the equivalent of $5,355. On the evening of June 4, Weber had to be helped upstairs to bed. To Fiirstenau he remarked: "God reward you for all your kind love to me. Now let me sleep." The next morning the maid informed Smart that she had knocked at Weber's door but there was no answer. Smart, who sent at once for Fiirstenau and a doctor, relates in his diary: "On bursting open the bedroom door, we found Weber dead, lying tran- quilly on his right side, his cheek in his hand." Smart's house, at 91 Great Portland Street, was provided in 1894 with a memorial tablet, the gift of the Incorporated Society of Musi- cians, telling that there Weber had died. The house stood till 1907, when its old walls yielded to the march of progress.

GONCERTO IN B MINOR, FOR VIOLA, WITH ORCHESTRAL ACCOMPANIMENT
By Georg Frideric Handel (?) Born in Halle, February 23, 1685; died in London, April 14, 1759 (Arranged by Henri Casadesus)
The score was published by Max Eschig, in 1924, as "Concerto in B minor, for Alto, with Orchestral Accompaniment — realisation de la basse et orchestre par Henri Casadesus." The accompaniment is for two flutes, two bassoons, and strings.
Henri Gustave Casadesus (born in Paris, September 30, 1879), uncle of Robert Casadesus, the pianist, is a viola player and was the founder of the Societe des Instruments Anciens in 1901. It was he who made the Collection of old instruments which bears his name, and which was acquired and presented to the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra in 1926. On April 20, 1927, the Society of Ancient Instruments appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and on that occasion Henri Casadesus played the viola d'amore.
The published version of this Concerto reveals nothing about its origin, or what solo instrument may have been indicated. Nor do the collected works of Samuel Arnold or Chrysander disclose such a concerto. When, the piece was played in Chicago in 1947, Felix Borowsky wrote that according to information from M. Casadesus the manuscript was in the British Museum. "An inquiry was sent to

The suite derived from it had its first concert performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra, November 26, 1948. The orchestration is as follows: two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contra-bassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, glockenspiel, cymbals, xylophone, snare drum, field drum, bass drum, tam-tam, harp and strings. Louisiana Story was produced by Robert Flaherty, known by outstanding films of documentary character: Nanook of the North, Man of Aran, Elephant Boy.* T ouisiana Story shows the life of a boy in the remote bayou country *—* of this state, backwoods where urban civilization has not pene- trated until momentarily disturbed by the intrusion of prospectors for oil and their operations. The boy is timid before the strangers, but curious about their machinery and is finally befriended by them. But the main interest of the story lies in his daily life and the loss of a pet raccoon whom he believes has been eaten by an alligator. One follows him as he paddles through the thick underbrush of the swampy terrain which he inhabits. He succeeds in catching the alligator with * Virgil Thomson has composed music to accompany the films The Plough That Broke the Plains (1936), The River (1937), The Spanish Earth (in collaboration with Marc Blitzstein — 1937), and A Tuesday in November (1945).

The coon is at last found unharmed. This placid tale invites pastoral music of folk character. Donald L. Engle in the Philadelphia Or- chestra program tells us that: "The composer has drawn freely from the folk idiom of the Acadian region, using as source material Irene Therese Whitfield's collection of Louisiana French Folk Songs (Louisiana State University Press, 1939) , and recordings of Cajun tunes collected on the spot by Alan Lomax. Three of these melodies have been incorporated in the suite; the rest appear in a second suite entitled 'Acadian Airs and Dances. "With the exception of these three folk tunes, the suite with which we are concerned consists of composed or original music from the film score, its four movements derived from a sequence of scenes in the life of the Cajun boy. The subject matter of the movements is as follows "I.

"III. Boys will be boys, and the discovery of a nest of alligator eggs arouses insatiable curiosity. While the unsuspecting chap ex- amines his find, a slow, five-pulse Passacaglia theme adds ominous overtones as the returning reptile slithers toward the intruder. A subdued woodwind subject over pizzicato strings gives way to mount- ing tension above the repeated bass pattern, reaching a climax when the boy realizes the impending danger and scampers to safety. From this point in the film score, a cut is made in the scene from which the last movement is derived. "IV. Believing the alligator has gobbled up his pet coon, the boy sets his trap. Caught in a rope noose, the enraged alligator thrashes around in the water while the boy tries to haul it up the slippery bank. The odds are uneven, but the lad refuses to let go, and is gradually drawn deeper and deeper into the water. His frantic father arrives in time to pull him out, and the alligator's skin becomes his * A marsh-buggy is an amphibious tractor, fitted with large drum-like wheels capable of operating on either land or water.

A pungent, vigorous quadruple* fugue was chosen by the composer as the most effective device for sustaining the musical interest during this exciting sequence." The first movement is mood music in which a folkish tune is de- livered for the most part by the trumpet to a background of harp arpeggios and shimmering string cords. The second movement briefly develops an animated tune given in turn to the clarinet, flute, trumpet and oboe. The third movement opens with a Passacaglia on a smoothly descending ostinato bass of three five-four bars followed by two four- four bars. A sinuous crawling figure by the bass clarinet unmistakably reveals its place in the story. This figure is presently taken up by other instruments, the passacaglia section returning at the end. The final fugue is developed by the full orchestra. These two movements are easily identified as accompanying the dramatic sequence of the en- counter between the boy and the alligator. Mr. Thomson once furnished for the New York Philharmonic pro- grams the following succinct biography: "I was born in Kansas City, grew up there, and went to war from there. That was the other war. Then I was educated some more in Boston and Paris. In composition I was a pupil of Nadia Boulanger. While I was still young I taught music at Harvard and played the organ at King's Chapel, Boston. Then I returned to Paris and lived there for many years, till the Germans came, in fact. Now I live in New York, where I am music critic of the Herald Tribune." * The composer prefers to call it "a double fugue, or a fugue on four subjects."

It is managements and box offices that call these people intellectuals; persons belonging to that group rarely use the term. They are a numer- ous body in New York, however, and can be counted on to patronize certain entertainments. Their word-o£-mouth communication has an influence, moreover, on public opinion. Their favor does not neces- sarily provoke mass patronage, but it does bring to the box office a considerable number of their own kind and it does give to any show or artist receiving it some free advertising. The intellectual audience in any large city is fairly numerous, well organized and highly vocal. This group, that grants or withholds its favor without respect to paid advertising and that launches its ukases with no apparent motiva- tion, consists of people from many social conditions. Its binding force is the book. It is a reading audience. Its members may have a musical Gifts in Leather U3HQQ* j£mdom dwriWL (oompaiw SIXTY FRANKLIN STREET INTERIOR FURNISHINGS ANTIQUE & MODERN FABRICS ANTIQUE FURNITURE REPRODUCTIONS FLOOR COVERINGS 8I Newbuf S+rSet B° S+° n MaSS * WALLPAPERS y ' ' LAMPS & SHADES Telephones KE 6-8881—8882 [ 1266 ] The Last Nail Is The One to Drive Home First Whether it's a ten-story building or a A contract bond, competently written by twenty-mile highway, the best beginning The Man with The Plan, your local Em- for a happy ending is a bond ... a contract ployers' Group Insurance Agent, is sound bond . . . written by an Employers' insurance that guarantees that the last Group Agent. nail will be driven . . . that the job will Anyone who has invested money in any be completed ... no matter what unex- construction project can appreciate the pected trouble the contractor might importance of that bond.

The intellectual world does not judge a work of art from the talent and skill embodied in it; only professionals judge that way. It seeks in art a clear connection with contemporary esthetic and philosophic trends, as these are known through books and magazines. The intellectual audience is not a pro- fessional body; it is not a professors' conspiracy, either, nor a pub- lishers' conspiracy. Neither is it quite a readers' anarchy. Though it has no visible organization, it forms its own opinions and awards its own prizes in the form of free advertising. It is a very difficult group to maneuver or to push around. In New York it is a white-collar audience containing stenographers, saleswomen, union employees of all kinds, many persons from the com- fortable city middle-aged middle class and others from the subur- ban young parents. There are snappy dressers, too, men and women of thirty who follow the mode, and artists' wives from downtown who wear peasant blouses and do their own hair. Some are lawyers, doctors, novelists, painters, musicians, professors. Even the carriage trade is represented, and all the age levels above twenty-five.

Many persons of known professional distinction give it season- ing and tone. Management's aim is to mobilize the ticket-buying and propaganda power of this world without alienating the mass public. The latter is respectful of intellectual opinion, which it learns about through the magazines of women's wear, but resistant to the physical presence of the intellectual audience. The varieties of fancy dress, and interesting faces, the pride of opinion expressed in overheard conversations, the clannish behavior of these strange and often monstrous personalities are profoundly shocking to simpler people. Their behavior expresses both a freedom of thought and a degree of ostentation that are not available to the standardized consumer. Much as he would like to enjoy everything that is of good report, he is really most comfortable among his own kind listening to Marian Anderson. This is why the Philharmonic and the Metropolitan managements make little or no play for the intellectual trade and discourage efforts in that direction from the musical wing. They have a mass public of sorts already, do not need intellectual promotion. They seem to fear, moreover, that intellectual influence, bearing always toward the left in program-mak- ing, may keep away more paying customers than it brings in. {Continued on Page 1294) W?f INCORPORATED ESTABLISHED 1840 professional fitters of CORSETS, BELTS, CORRECTIVE GARMENTS and ELASTIC HOSIERY, private fitting rooms, INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION.

One is that intellectuals like novelty and modern- ity. The other is that the mass public dislikes both. I think the first is true. I doubt the second. I am more inclined to believe, from long acquaintance with all sorts of musical publics, that it is management which dislikes novelty and everything else that interferes with standardi- zation. I suspect that management's design is toward conditioning the mass public to believe that it dislikes novelty. Some success has already been achieved in this direction. If intellectual opinion has any carry- ing power beyond the centers of its origin, there is a job to be done, a war to be fought across the nation. The intellectuals' own survival, even, may depend on winning it. For unless these bright ones carry some weight in the forming of everybody's opinions and tastes, they are a useless body and can be by-passed by any power-group that wants to use art for its own ends. ^llllllimillllllMllllllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllL EfV E !

The first performance in the United States was at the Metropolitan Opera House, January 25, 1888. The two excerpts here played call for three flutes and piccolo, three oboes and English horn, three clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons, eight horns, three trumpets and bass trumpet, four trombones and tuba, timpani, Glockenspiel, triangle, cymbals, tam-tam, two harps, and strings. The most recent performance in this series was on April 14, 1939, when Richard Burgin conducted. There is an orchestral interlude between the two parts of the pro- logue to the "Dusk of the Gods," depicting the coming of dawn over the rock of the Valkyries. This is joined in the concert version to the interlude connecting the prologue with the first act, played in the opera house while the curtain is lowered and the scene is changed. The three Noras holding fate in their hands as they weave their thread have been dismayed to find it suddenly broken, and have vanished into the night. "The day, which has been slowly approach- ing, now dawns brightly and obliterates the distant fire glow in the valley." Soft chords from the horns gently fill the scene with the theme of the hero Siegfried, and there follows the motive of Brunn- TRIfil THE TRIBUTARY THEATRE * MMLMP OF BOSTON, INC.

In the scene which is to follow, Siegfried in armour enters from the cave, Briinnhilde at his side. As punishment, she has been subjected to him in mortal love, but she is blissful and unreluctant. Siegfried, about to depart for new adventure, draws the fateful ring from his finger and places it upon her own. He bids her farewell and embarks in a boat, floating on the current of the Rhine, as she gazes after her departing lover. The second interlude now fol- lows. Siegfried's horn call leads into the rapturous and sweeping motive, sometimes called "the decision to love," which was first de- veloped in the third act of "Siegfried." The horn call is combined with reminiscences of the fire music, and undergoes development al- most symphonic. There follows in full statement the undulating theme of the Rhine and its attendant themes of the Rhine maidens, the Gold, the Ring, and the renunciation of love.

The most recent performance at the Boston Symphony concerts was April 22, 1949. It is scored for a small orchestra: flute, oboe, two clarinets, bassoon, trumpet, two horns and strings. The "Siegfried Idyll," a birthday gift to Cosima from Wagner in the first year of their marriage, was performed as a surprise to her on Chrismas day in the Wagners' villa on Lake Lucerne, at half- past seven in the morning. There were elaborate secret preparations — the copying of the parts, the engaging of musicians from Zurich, rehearsals in the foyer of the old theatre and at the Hotel du Lac in Lucerne. Christmas morning at Tribschen the musicians tuned in the kitchen, and assembled quietly on the stairs. There were fifteen players, Hans Richter taking both viola and trumpet, having practiced in se- clusion upon the latter unaccustomed instrument. Wagner conducted from the top of the stairs what turned out to be, in the testimony of Richter, a faultless performance.

[ *299 ] "A Siegfried Idyll" is far more than an occasional piece of music, a passing incident of Wagner's family life at Tribschen. It could well be called the unflawed reflection of the first moment of deep serenity and felicity in the constantly unsettled life of the composer. The cradle folk-song, "Schlaf, mein Kind, schlaf ein" the only theme in the Idyll which does not also occur in the Third Act of "Sieg- fried," of course implicates the namesake of the Norse hero, the son of Richard and Cosima. Their "Fidi" as they fondly called him, was eighteen months old when the Idyll was written. It was not less an expression of the peace of soul that Wagner had found at Tribschen, their idyllic island perfectly insulated by the blue waters of Lake Lucerne from the pressing creditors, the prying visitors, the enemies at court and gossip mongers from which the pair had taken pre- cipitate flight at Munich. Tribschen was the "Asyl" at last, where Wagner could give himself to the creation of scores without fear of sudden stress and disruption. A "Tribschener Idyll" was Wagner's first title for the work. But in a deeper sense, Cosima is the true center of the Idyll. It was her love which brought his content, and the themes of the Idyll, de- riving from the love scene of Siegfried and Brunnhilde, had their THE MERCHANTS CO-OPERATIVE BANK of 24 SCHOOL STREET, BOSTON Is a friendly bank where you will be welcome to Save Money and Finance Your Home Henry H.

Then did she realize the object and duty of her life at Tribschen. But he rose and pointed to her portrait, saying that 'this was what he beheld as he had written it all; life still remained upon the heights.' . . . She really felt that this third act of' Siegfried was intimately bound up with her, and with her whole being; for the Master was now drawing upon the themes which had come into being during that period at Starnberg when she had come to him. At the time they had intended them for quartets and trios, but now they found their true application, for they formed the setting of Brunn- hilde's song: 'Ewig war ich, ewig bin ich.' And in this is revealed a wondrous mystery of love and creation." This song found its way into the "Siegfried Idyll" as its principal theme. * Associating each of Wagner's heroines with one of the women who profoundly influenced his emotional development, Paul Bekker identifies Cosima von Bulow with Brunnhilde — not the Valkyrie of the earlier drama, but the very different Brunnhilde whom Siegfried aroused to a great and human passion. "She was an experience Wagner had to live through before he could express in music the love-story of Brunnhilde and Siegfried, the awakening of Woman by Man."

When, in 1878, Wagner felt that the time had come to release the score to the world in publication, Cosima was deeply distressed. "The Idyll is going off today," she wrote in her diary. "My secret treasure is becoming common property; may the joy it will give mankind be commensurate with the sacrifice that I am making." Indeed, the Idyll was never intended for public knowledge but for the intimacy of the family circle. Ernest Newman points out in an article in the London Sunday Times that Wagner allowed it to be published with great reluctance and "under financial duress." In this same article Mr. Newman makes some conjectures about the quartet which Wagner sketched for Cosima at Starnberg in the summer of 1864, the time of their secret union when Cosima was still the wife of Von Biilow. The main theme of the quartet is known to have be- come the main theme of the Idyll. Mr. Newman decides that the second theme in the Idyll, which in the opera Brunnhilde sings to the words "O Siegfried, Herrlicher, Hort der Welt!" had also its origin in the quartet. "I lack the space here," he writes, "to go into all the technical details that warrant this supposition — the fact, for instance, that the two melodies have obviously been framed to go with each other in YOUR KEY TO KENTUCKY'S FAVORITE FLAVOR In tonight's toddy or highball you'll find the generous flavor of Kentucky's favorite Bond your key to genuine whiskey satisfaction.

Here I can only point out that this discovery of the pre-history of the two themes explains at last several things that have always been a bit of a puzzle in the third act of the opera, such as the sudden change of Wagner's procedure from the close motive-working of the preceding (and following) pages to an expansive lyrical style, and the frequently bad 'declamation' of this section, the words being sometimes pulled out of shape in a quite un- Wagnerian way to make them -fit melodies that have not run out of them but have been superimposed on them." Mr. Newman is disturbed by the fact that the lullaby itself ante- dated Wagner's son Siegfried. The little "quasi folk tune," the use* of which in the Idyll he calls "a curious and inexplicable piece of spatchcocking," was written in the "Brown Book," an intimate journal which Wagner intended for Cosima alone, on the last day of 1868. He remarks that this cradle song "has therefore little basic con- nection with the accredited hero of the Idyll, the baby Siegfried, who was not born. . . . The heroine of it was little Eva, who was nearly two years old at that time."

Nothing would be more natural than that the Idyll itself, a poem of domestic felicity stemming from tender thoughts of Cosima, should have taken precisely the course it did. Such a cradle song would be part of it. Just as Wagner named his first-born son after a hero long associated with his creative career, in writing the Idyll he would have readily linked the child Siegfried, then the center of de- lighted attention by both parents, with every fond association of Tribschen."

[ »3<>7 ] PRELUDE TO "DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NURNBERG" By Richard Wagner Born at Leipzig, May 22, 1813; died at Venice, February 13, 1883 The Prelude to "The Mastersingers of Nuremberg" was completed in 1862, the entire music drama in 1867; its first presentation: June 21, 1868. The most recent performance in this series was December 17, 1948. The score of the Prelude calls for these instruments: two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, harp and strings. •agner, whose ideas for music dramas were always considerably ahead of their fruition, first conceived plans for "Die Meister- singer" (and "Lohengrin" as well) in the summer of 1845, wnen hav- ing completed "Tannhauser" he was anticipating its first production. A humorous treatment of the early guilds, of Hans Sachs and his fellow tradesmen, occurred to him as an outgrowth from the Wart- burg scene in "Tannhauser" and its contest of song. He carried the project in the back of his mind while more immediate concerns — "Lohengrin" and the "Ring" — occupied him. Then came "Tristan" and only after the "Tannhauser" fiasco in Paris, in 1861, did he give SINCE 1832 ^ LOCAL and DISTANT Price Range to Serve All Information Upon Request Serving OFFICES & CHAPELS All Religions CENTRALLY LOCATED ^ J.

At once, with a masterful assembling of fresh forces as remarkable as that which he had shown in plunging into "Tristan," he put behind him the impassioned chromaticism of the love drama and the Bacchanale, and immersed himself in the broad and placid periods, the naive folk style of the early guilds. He built up readily, and for the first time, a strictly human world, free of gods, legendary heroes, and magic spells. He went to Biebrich on the Rhine to compose "Die Meistersinger" and in the early spring of 1862 had completed the Prelude, begun the first act, and sketched the prelude to the third — fragments implicating a fairly complete conception of the ultimate score. Wagner even planned on finishing "Die Meistersinger" for perform- ance in the autumn season of 1862, but intruding troubles — notably the entanglements with love, politics and royalty in Munich, which enforced his departure from that city — these events delayed his score, which was not finished until October, 1867. The Prelude was performed from the manuscript at a concert especially arranged by Wendelin Weissheimer at the Leipzig Gewand- haus, October 31, 1862. Wagner conducted the "new" prelude and the overture to "Tannhauser." There was an almost empty hall, but the Prelude was encored. The critics were divided between praise and strong denouncement. There were performances in other cities in 1862 and 1863. The entire work had its first presentation at Munich, June 21, 1868. CfjrtetmaS ®ree 3hm g>tocfebribge, Jflass.
