March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809) This symphony is the fifth of six written by Haydn for a society in Paris known as the Concert de la Loge Olympique. The sym- phonies were ordered in 1784, when Haydn was living at Esterhaz. Written during 1784-89, they are in C, G minor, E-flat, B-flat, D, and A. They were published in Paris as Op. 51, "Repertoire de la Loge Olympique." The symphony that is No. 10 in Breitkopf and Hartel's Catalogue is No. 24 in Sieber's (orchestral parts only), No. 13 in the Library of the Paris Conservatory (copies of the scores), No. 12 in Bote and Bock's (scores). Early in the eighteenth century, there were no performances at the Paris Opera on certain solemn days of the Roman Catholic Church—the Festival of the Purification of the Virgin, the An- nunciation, from Passion Sunday to the Monday of Quasimodo or Low Sunday, Ascension, Whitsunday, Corpus Christi, the Assump- tion of the Virgin, the Day of the Nativity (September 8), All Saints, Day of the Conception, Christmas Eve, Christmas, etc. New ... in the Hat and Gown Shop For afternoon affairs . concert, reception, matinee, luncheon, tea . the Hat and Gown Shop features Canton or semi-sheer Crepe Frocks with flattering touches of embroidery, binche or Alencon lace.

LOESER'S Fulton at Bond, Brooklyn TRIangle 8100 ; In 1725 Anne Danican Philidor,* one of the famous family, ob- tained permission to give concerts on those days. He agreed to pay a yearly sum of 10,000 livres. (Some say the sum was 6,000 livres.) He also agreed that no operatic music and no composition of any nature with French text should be performed, but this obligation was afterwards annulled. Thus were the Concerts Spirituels founded. They took place in the Salle des Suisses at the Palace of the Tuileries. The first was on Passion Sunday, March 18, 1725, when the programme comprised a Suite of airs for violin ; a Caprice a motet "Confitebor" ; a motet "Cantate Domino" all by Michel Richard de Lalandef; and the concerto "Christmas Night," by *This Philidor, born at Paris in 1681, died there in 1731. A member of the King's orchestra, he published pieces for flute, violin, oboe (1712), and composed pastoral operas, "L'Amour vainqueur" (1697) ; "Diane et Endymion" (1698) ; "Danae" (1701). He is not to be confounded with Frangois Andre" Danican Philidor, the celebrated com- poser of operas, even more renowned as a chess player (1726-1795). fLalande, the fifteenth child of a poor Parisian tailor, was born in 1657. He died in 1726, master of Louis XIV's chamber music. Lalande wrote sixty motets for five voices with orchestra which were published in handsome form in 1729 at the expense of the King. Lalande also wrote a "M61icent" (libretto after Moliere), which was not performed ; also ballets—one, "Les Elements" (1721) with Destouches.
