Dr. SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY, Conductor FIFTY-FIRST SEASON, 1931-1932 WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE COPYRIGHT, 1932, BY BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, INC. 757 THE TRUMPET 1 HE clarion of the Eleventh Century was the im- mediate predecessor of the trumpet. The early in- strument, also called claro y and clarino, was a short straight tube of brass with one end carrying a cup- shaped mouthpiece and the other widening out into a bell. In the Eighteenth Century, Meyer of Hamburg made what has been called the first improvement in the trumpet — he invented a practical mouthpiece. Then occured a series of revolutionary changes. In 1780 Wogel added " tubes"; Wiedenger, court- trumpeter in Vienna, added " stops" in 1801; next came the "keys," with Sattler of Leipzig turning out the first trumpets equipped with them; and finally Striegel, a German orchestra player, introduced cer- tain refinements in bore and tubing. The trumpet is truly a stately and heraldic instru- ment. It is the portrayer of tournaments and pro- cessions, of pageants with a martial and romantic tinge. Its great agility makes it admirably suited to rapid figures, arpeggios, and to repetitions. In addi- tion to its strident calls, it can produce effects either fantastic or of extreme sweetness. Berlioz wrote: "The quality of the trumpet tone is noble and brilliant . It lends itself to the expression of all energetic and lofty and grand sentiments and to the majority of tragic accents." * * * * 1 HERE are many ways in which the services of Old Colony Trust Company as Executor and Trustee can help you obtain a definite objective.

The Benefice (which is now 14 years old) consists of 6 village communities, within which are 5 traditional Cotswold churches and a local ecumenical church plant (CUR:ve). Our benefice is ministered to by a full-time Rector, based in Bourton-on-the-Water, and a House for Duty Associate Minister, with special responsibility for the Rissingtons, based in Upper Rissington. There is a Reader, as well as lots of enthusiastic and capable lay involvement. The North Cotswolds Deanery is also home to a vibrant and supportive clergy chapter. Each of our villages has its own sense of community and identity, although we share the aim of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ relevant and accessible to all those who live, work and visit here. We know we live in a beautiful part of the country and readily share it with those who travel to us from all over the world; maybe you have visited! Bourton is the focal point of the benefice with shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors, dentist & Leisure Centre. Both Bourton and Upper Rissington are currently experiencing expansion with much new housing. There are lots of local primary schools (with good and outstanding OFSTED reports) and the Cotswold School in Bourton (our Secondary Academy affiliated to the Diocese) also has an outstanding OFSTED report. Its catchment area is wide, drawing students from within and some miles beyond the benefice.
