Jerome Kennedy & Co* Providence <j$> >4k (4) Symphony No. i, in E-flat Major, "Rustic Wedding," Opus 26. Karl Goldmark. It is not quite easy to understand why Goldmark called this composition a symphony; the sonata-form is nowhere apparent in it, and it seems more like suite of a characteristic tone-pictures than a symphony. It was first given in Vienna on March 12, 1876, eleven years after the composer's Sakuntala overture. Like the Overture, it soon made its way over the musical world — excepting France, for it was not given in Paris till the season of 1890-91 — and became a stock piece in the repertory of almost all noted orchestras. The first movement, Wedding March : Moderate molto in E-flat major time), (2-4 is in the form of a theme with variations. The theme is first given out unaccompanied, by the 'celli and double basses in octaves ; a " certain resemblance it bears to the Portuguese Hymn, Adeste,Jideles" may or may not have been intentional. There are thirteen variations. In the first the theme is played in three-part harmony by the horns, against a running bass in the 'celli and double-basses pizzicati and a counter-theme which soon enters in imitation- in the flute, clarinet, and trumpet. In the next three variations we lose sight of the theme in its original shape. The second, Poco animato, consists of free imitative contrapuntal part-writing for the strings, some of the voices being occasionally reinforced by the clarinet and bassoon. The third and fourth variations, Allegro, and Andante con moto quasi Allegretto in B-flat minor (6-8 time), are also freely contrapuntal in character. In the fifth variation, Allegretto in E-flat major (3-4 time), the theme itself returns in a new rhythm in the bass, against lively, playful figures in the other voices. From this point up to the twelfth the variations grow freer and freer, key, mode, rhythm, and tempo ATonic FOR BRAIN-WORKERS, THE WEAK AND DEBILITATED. Horsford's Acid Phosphate Is, without exception, the Best Remedy for relieving Mental and Nervous it Exhaustion ; and, where the system has become debilitated by disease, acts as a general tonic and vitalizer, affording sustenance to both brain and body.

In the thirteenth, and last, variation the theme comes back in its original shape once more, and is played in full harmony by the entire orchestra, one group of instruments dropping out after another until at last the 'celli and double-basses are left alone, repeating the theme in soft octaves, as at the beginning of the movement. It is said that Goldmark, in writing this movement, had in mind the numerous groups of wedding guests marching up to the church and disappearing one after another into the church itself. In the second movement, Bridal Song: Allegretto in B-flat major (3-4 time), we get a faint suggestion of the form of scherzo and trio, although this form is not much more than hinted at. The movement is based upon a very dainty, tricksy, playful little theme, and is worked out with no little ingenuity. -flat The third movement, In the Garden : Andante in G minor and G majui (.* + ^<\ T2-8 time), is plainly meant for a love-scene. It opens with a tender melody — which begins in G minor, but modulates almost imme- diately to B-flat major — sung at first by the clarinet, then taken up by the violins in octaves. This theme is followed by a more passionate one in G-flat major, which is elaborately developed as a quasi-operatic love-duet the tenor part is sung by the 'celli and horns, and the soprano by the violins and higher wooden wind instruments. Toward the end of the movement the first G minor and B-flat major melody returns in the clari- net, and the close is hushed and quiet as the beginning. L. P.

The fourth movement, Dance : Allegro tnolto in E-flat major (2-2 time), is based on the jolliest of dance-tunes. It is elaborately worked up, with ever-increasing spirit and furious energy, interrupted for a moment at one point by a return of the tender clarinet theme of the garden-scene. This composition is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 pair of kettle-drums, and the usual strings.

Le Nozze di Figaro, comic opera (dramma giocosd) in four acts, the text by Lorenzo da Ponte, the music by Mozart, was first given at the Burg- Theater in Vienna on May 1, 1786. The libretto was taken from Caron de Beaumarchais's comedy, le Manage de Figaro, which was brought »»* at the Theatre-Fran cais in Paris on April 27, 178+, as the libretto of Ros- sini's il Barbiere di Siviglia was taken from Beaumarchais's le Barbier de Seville. The song sung at this concert is in the part of Cherubino, the countess's little page, who has fallen in love with his mistress (the Rosina of the Barbiere) and sings of his love to her and Susanna, her chamber- maid. The text is as follows : Voi, che sapete Che cosa e amor, Donne, vedete Ballard Costume and Habit Maker. JACKETS, TAILOR GOWNS, RIDING HABITS, Golf and Bicycle Costumes.
