(Bom at La Cote Saint -Andre, Dec. n, 1803; died at Paris, March 9, 1869.) Some time after his arrival at Paris in 182 1, Berlioz became acquainted with a young man named Humbert Ferrand, and loved him his life long. Ferrand was a zealous Catholic, who believed in legitimate monarchy. Berlioz was sceptical, a passionate admirer of the first Napoleon, liberal in politics as well as literature, a sworn foe to the Bourbons. But the two young men were one in their enthusiasm for art and their disdain of the commonplace. Ferrand had just written a "grand heroic scene with chorus," inspired by the Greek revolution. Berlioz set music to it ; and Berlioz was eager to write an opera entitled " Les Francs-Juges," with a text which had more or less to do with the " Vehm-gericht," a text versified by his dear friend Ferrand. The Vehmic, or Fehmic, or Femic, Tribunal was a strange, irregular, and fear-compelling institution, peculiar to Germany, which flourished especially in Westphalia from 1 150 to 1568. Civil cases were tried before it openly, but crimes such as heresy, witchcraft, and murder were tried at night and with blood-curdling rites. Each member was sworn to conceal the pro- ceedings "from wife and child, father and mother, sister and brother, fire and wind, from all that the sun shines on and the rain wets, and from every being between heaven and earth." The symbols of authority were a coil of ropes and a naked sword. For an account of the probable origin, the duties, the power, and the ending of this tribunal, see Sir Francis " Sir Palgrave's Rise and Progn ss of the English Commonwealth " ; " Walter Scott's Anne of Geierstein," chapter xx. and notes ; and the article in volume nine of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, in which German writers on the "Vehm-gericht" are cited.

CEORC HENSCHEL will teach — until March, 1903 — EXCLUSIVELY in the Conservatory. Particulars and terms (for one or any number of lessons) may be had of the Registrar or from Mr. Henschel personally.

On May 26, 1828, he gave a concert in the hall of the Paris Conservatory. The programme was made up of the overture " Waveriey," * composed in 1827 or 1828; the overture to " Les Francs-Juges " and an air and trio with chorus ," Melodie Pastorale," from the same opera; the "Scene Grecque, " referred to above and com- posed in 1825 or 1826. On the original programme was "La Mort d'Orpbee," written in compe- tition for the prix de Rome in 1827, which, on account of its difficulty, was thrown out by the judges, Cherubini, Paer, Lesueur, Berton, Boieldieu, " Catel. Berlioz intended that this sub-title should be added : Piece declared unplayable by the Academy of Fine Arts of the Institute and performed on the ... of May, 1828." Alexis Dupont, who was to have sung it, was hoarse, and the " Resurrexit" from the " Messe Solennelle " (tried in 1824 at Saint Roch ; revised and performed at Saint Roch, 1825; again revised and performed at Saint-Eustache in 1827) was substituted. The " Marche Religieuse des Mages," composed in 1828, was also per- formed. The solo singers were Gilbert Duprez, later one of the most dis- tinguished tenors of the nineteenth century (his voice at that time was weak and sweet); Louise Marie Caroline Lebrun (1807-65), a second prize of the Conservatory; and Pierre Ferdinand Prevot (1800-79), a first prize of the Conservatory and a member of the Opera from 1824 to 1857. Bloc, of the Nouveautes, conducted. We are concerned now only with the performance of the excerpts from " Les Francs-Juges.'' Berlioz wrote to Ferrand an account of the concert. " The second part began with the overture to ' Les Francs-Juges.' I must tell you what happened at the first rehearsal of this piece. Scarcely had the orchestra heard that fright-inspiring solo of trombone and ophi- " " *The overture Waverley was played in Boston on Dec. 13. 1851, at a concert of the Musical Fund Society.

Januar 1888 Ronald de Vet Čajkovskijs Aufenthalt in Leipzig im Januar 1888 bildet eine wohlbekannte Periode in sei- nem Leben – an erster Stelle dank seiner eigenen ausführlichen Erinnerungen, die ein Jahr nach seinem Tod publiziert wurden. 1 Auch in Briefen an seine Brüder, seinen Verleger Petr Jurgenson und seine Gönnerin Nadežda fon Mekk hat er viel erzählt über seine Erfahrungen und über die Personen, denen er in Leipzig begegnet ist. Dazu gehören Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, sein ehemaliger Kollege Adol’f Brodskij und dessen Frau, Arthur Nikisch und Ferruccio Busoni. Wolfgang Glaab hat diese Quellen zu einer Monographie verarbeitet und viel Wissenswertes beigesteuert über die Stadt Leipzig, wie sie Čajkovskij gesehen und erfahren haben muss.2 Auch in der Grieg-Forschung hat die Begegnung der zwei berühmten Komponisten Beachtung gefunden. 3 Am 13.

Although it is difficult to trace the origin of the French horn, it is generally accepted that it was developed in France during the 17th century • An outgrowth of the early primitive and the later sophisticated hunting horn, its value in the use of Fanfares was acclaimed during the reign of Louis XIII • It was also discovered that strange and wonderful musical effects could be had by inserting the hand in the bell • One of the first orchestral uses came in 1717 when Handel included the French horn in his score of the "Water Music" • The modern instrument embodies a main tube measuring approximately 7 feet 4 inches in length, coiled in circles and finally expanding into a widely flared bell • As the French horn lends its importance to the value of the modern symphony orchestra, so too does the trained and reliable insurance office develop a modern and sensible insurance program for business and personal accounts • We would welcome an opportunity to analyze your need for complete protection.
