Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809) This is the symphony which Georg Henschel chose for the opening concert on October 22, 1881 by the then newly formed Boston Symphony Orchestra. Seventy-five years later Charles Munch has chosen it to open the anni- versary season. As elsewhere among his final symphonies, Haydn here dispenses with the ceremonious portal of a broad coup continued on next page ..

A soft chord suffices to introduce the tender largo, with its gentle syncopated pulsations. The sprightly allegro vivace takes sudden possession of the movement. The Adagio is in effect the development of a single theme. The charm of the music lies in its delicacy and variety of detail, in which the device of a duple against a triple rhythm is much used. It is a single melodic unfolding of infinite resource, a mood so enkindled that it need never lapse into formula. The Minuet, together with its trio, re- establishes the tonic key. In the second part, the humor which sparkled in the opening movement reasserts itself in triple bass chords. The Finale, like most finales of Haydn when invention was ,fully unloosed, is indescrib- continued on next page ..

Hadow, in his study of Haydn as a "Croation composer," detects in the opening theme a march tune commonly played in Turopol at rustic weddings. II. "The Sea" (Three Orchestral Sketches) . Claude Debussy (1862.1918) There could be no denying Debussy's passion for the sea: he frequently visited the coast resorts, spoke and wrote with constant enthusiasm about "my old friend the sea, always innumerable and beautiful." He often recalled his impressions of the Mediterranean at Cannes, where he spent boyhood days. It is worth noting, however, that continued on next page ..
