Mascagni Cavalleria Rusticana, a one-act Opera which won 1st Prize in a competition instituted in

1889, was first produced in Rome on the 18th May, 1890. The instantaneous and immense success of the Opera made its author famous in a day. Mascagni has done many other works but his reputation rests almost entirely upon Cavalleria Rusticana which still holds the stage in spite of many years of uninterrupted popularity and the rivalry of a host of imitations.

Pietro Mascagni was born at Leghorn on the 7th December, 1863.

5.0 to 7.0




1. PAGEANT MARCH ... ... ... Fincke

2. OVERTURE ... " Iolanthe " Sullivan arr. Dr. N. Richardson Only one of the Overtures to Sullivan's Light Operas has been published for Military Band.

Dr. Richardson has helped to bridge that gap by adding the Overture to "Iolanthe" to the repertoire in manuscript form. The arrangements excellent and preserves of much the original orchestral colouring.

3. CORNET SOLO ... "Serenade" ... ... Schubert (SOLOIST : CORPORAL HOWARD BATES)

4. OPERATIC SELECTION ... " Aida" ... ... ... ... Verdi

5. VALSE ... ... " Swan Lake" ... Tschaikowsky This Valse is from the Ballet composed by Tschaikowsky at the request of the Imperial Opera

Moscow. It was completed and produced in the early part of 1877. The subject of the Ballet is mythical, and is founded upon the legend of the young Prince Siegfried and the Princess Odette.

6. BALLET MUSIC ... " William Tell " Rossini

7. CONCERTINO FOR MASSED CLARINETS ... ... ... Weber Although he wrote a quantity of the most diverse music, Weber is known today solely by

his operas, notably "Der Freischutz" and "Oberon," The clarinet is the most modern instru ment in the orchestra, and was not generally accepted until Mozart introduced it into his symphonies in 1778. Isolated instances of its use occurred earlier, and so far as military bands are concerned, the Honourable Artillery Company employed clarinets in 1762. Today the clarinets have to do the work of violins in military bands, and the technical agility of the best players is remarkable. Weber had a peculiar fascination for the instrument, writing two concertos, a concertino and a Grand Duo for clarinet and piano, which is generally regarded as the greatest showpiece ever written for the clarinet.

8. PETITE SUITE DE CONCERT ... ... ... Coleridge-Taylor (a) Le Caprice de Nannette ; [b) Demande et Reponse ;

(c) La Tarantelle Fretillante. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is undoubtedly the best known of all negro-composers. His

mother was an English girl; his father a West African negro doctor, who first practised in London, and later returned to Africa. Coleridge-Taylor was a student at the Royal College of Music, London, where, very poor, and "with a large circular patch on his trousers," he studied under Stanford. Both Elgar and Sullivan were enthusiastic about him and helped him on to success. It was a great loss to the world of music when this most talented composer died in 1912 at the early age of 37. The "Petite Suite de Concert" is one of his lighter and most popular works, including as it does the famous " Demande et Reponse."

9. Two PIECES : (a) " Chanson du Matin " Flgar (b) " Dargason" ... ... ... Hoist

10. XYLOPHONE SOLO " 'Tween Heather and Sea " ... Geldard (SOLOIST : CORPORAL ALAN HAKIN)

10. GRAND OVERTURE SOLENNELLE " 1812 " ... Tschaikowsky This Overture is intended to be descriptive of the invasion of Russia in 1812 by the French

under Napoleon I., and their final defeat. The leading ideas may thus be roughly indicated— Introduction—Hymn—Supplication for aid—Gathering of the Russian Army—French National Song (" La Marseillaise ") and battle—Cossack Song—Renewal of the conflict—Gradual gain over the French and final victory of the Russians—Public Thanksgiving (Hymn in Introduction) —Return of the Russian Army—National Anthem.

" Nightfall in Camp " arr. Pope This little piece is intended to depict a soldier standing on sentry on a Sunday evening.

He is humming his favourite hymn, "Lead Kindly Light" to the well known tune "Sandon." The Bell of a nearby church strikes 10 o'clock, and the bugler sounds the "Last Post." The-key changes and against the tolling of the bell and the bugle we hear the hymn tune once again. The audience is invited to join in the singing of the first verse.

" Lead kindly Light, amid the encircling gloomy Lead Thou me on ; The night is dark and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene ; one step enough for me."

" GOD SAVE THE QUEEN "

SIGNATURE TONE " Shrewsbury Quarry" Traditional arr. Pope This Traditional Air is one which was regularly played by the bands of the various Trade-

Guilds participating in the OLD SHREWSBURY SHOW and its revival provides a pleasant link with mediaeval times. It has been arranged for Military Band by Major Douglas A. Pope and adopted as the Society's " Signature Tune It will be played as such throughout the Fete.

1. OVERTURE " Orpheus in the Underworld " ... Offenbach "Orphee aux Enfers" is probably the best of the numerous operettas by which the composer

s I best remembered, and was produced in 1858, at the Bouffes-Parisiens, the Theatre which he directed with such dazzling success in the late fifties and early sixties. The music happily follows the extravagant burlesque of the situations; the orchestration is clever; and the whole is seasoned with a sprightly and ironic humour.

2. CORNET SOLO ... "I hear you calling Me " Marshall (SOLOIST : CORPORAL HOWARD BATES)

3. REMINISCENCES OF TSCHAIKOWSKY arr. Godfrey Introducing excerpts from—Finale (Symphony No. 5) ; None but the Weary Heart;

Danse Trepak; Chant Sans Paroles; and Valse from Sleeping Beauty.

4. INTERMEZZO ... " Love and Laughter" ... ... Chandler

5. SELECTION OF ROBERT FARNON'S MELODIES ... arr. Duthoit Introducing: "The Peanut Polka" ; "Journey into Melody" ; "Sophistication Waltz" ;

"A Star is Born" ; "Portrait of a Flirt" ; "Playtime" ; "Jumping Bean" ; and "State Occas-

6. DANCES FROM ... " The Rebel Maid " ... ... Phillips "The Rebel Maid" is one of the freshest and most charming of British light operas. It

was composed at a lonely coast guard station on the Scottish coast, when the composer was serving during the 1914-1918 war. The libretto was written by one of Phillip's comrades at the same station—Sir Gerald Dodson, the present Recorder of London.

7. BELL SOLO ... " Weymouth Chimes" ... ... Howgill (SOLOIST : CORPORAL ALAN HAKIN)

8. BALLET MUSIC ..." La Boutique Fantasque " Rossini-Resphigi A selection of music from the well-known ballet, whose scenario is based on the old story

of a toy-maker's shop after business hours, when the dolls, animals and other toys, no longer pestered by the attentions of mere humans, come to life and lead a surprisingly active existence of their own.

The idea for the ballet was Diaghilev's—the great Russian impresario who died in 1929. He employed Leonide Massine for the choreography and Andre Derain for decor, and produced the result for the first time in London in 1919. It was an immediate success.

The music is mostly taken from a number of pieces that Rossini wrote in his old age for the entertainment of his friends. They have been strung together, generally refurbished, and orchestrated with brilliancy by Ottorino Respighi (the modern Italian composer who died in 1936) and have a lasting charm.

THURSDAY

8. OVERTURE Egmont Beethoven

This Overture, which is justly regarded as one of its composer's finest works is in three sections : Sostenuto, Allegro, and Allegro con brio, the music of which speaks, in accents which no sympathetic listener can mistake, of noble resolution, persistent effort, tender pity, and the alternations of triumph and despair. The grandeur of the opening portion, the passion and rhythmic force of that which follows, strike every hearer at once, while the concluding part could have been imagined only by one of the giants of art.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born at Bonn (Germany) in 1770. His father was a singer at the Court Chapel. Whilst a boy, Beethoven played the harpsichord at the Court Theatre. Later received lessons from Haydn and Mozart at Vienna. Famous first as a pianist and later as a composer. As Bach developed the Fugue so did Beethoven develop the Symphony. In later years he became absolutely deaf, and was unable to hear some of his finest works. He died in Vienna in 1827.

2. OVERTURE " The Yeomen of the Guard " ... Sullivan Sullivan's position in English music is so well known that discussion of it here is really

superfluous. It is, however, interesting to note that his father was an Army bandmaster and an instructor in the clarinet at the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall.

To celebrate the signing of the Peace Treaty of Aix la Chapelle, which concluded the War of the Austrian Succession, King George the Second commanded an Italian named Servandoni to prepare a magnificent fireworks display to be given in Green Park, London. He also commanded Handel to compose some music to be performed on this occasion. It took place on 21st April, 1749. The Overture was played, after which a royal salute from 101 brass cannon signalled that the fireworks display was to commence.

Conducted by Captain David McBain, A.R.C.M. (.Director of Music, Royal Horse Guards)

5. WELSH RHAPSODY ... ... Edward German arr. Dan Godfrey The "Welsh Rhapsody" was composed for the Cardiff Musical Festival in 1904. What

Edward German did for his own countrymen, when, by that mysterious secret which he alone possessed, he began to make "new" English music just like "old" English music, he did, too, for gallant little Wales. Taking the old tunes, patriotic and pathetic which her people love as they do the very hills, he has worked them up in his Rhapsody until the dim past of the rug-gedjmountain land lives again ; the bloody feuds of old are re-fought, and the songs of Taliasen ring through the air still. To the tune of "Men of Harlech" Edward German has marched nto the heart of a nation.

PROGRAMME 17

THURSDAY

6. SUITE ... ... " Woodland Pictures " ... ... Fletcher In this Suite the Composer has endeavoured to give musical representations of three char

acteristic scenes from country life. The themes used are in the style of folk songs and old country dance tunes ; they are not actually taken from these sources, but are original melodies designed to imitate them. In No. 1, the Introduction is founded on the themes used in the dance, which when they occur in the main movement, serve to suggest the light-hearted gaiety of the lasses and the rough jovialty of the yokels. In No. 2, the romanticism and sentiment awakened in the imagination of the onlooker as he gazes on the scene are echoed in the score. In No. 3, we have all the village en fete. Everybody wants to make merry and dance to the tune of the pipe and the piccolo, the cornet and the drum, and a happy-go-lucky feeling is paramount. The excitement increases as the movement progresses, and towards the end they are highly exhili-rated.

The Grand Military Tattoo was specially written for and first performed by the Massed Bands of the Brigade of Guards at the Royal Naval and Military Tournament, Agricultural Hall, London, 1905, and conducted by the composer.

The Bands taking part in the Tattoo, each march in turn to the point of assembly to the tune of a Regimental March. Then the Tattoo commences with the Buglers sounding "First Post." The Massed Drums and Fifes march up and down to a Quick step followed by various Gun Fire, a Grand Assembly March with Trumpets sounding Grand Tattoo. This closes with an evening Hymn and "Last Post" sounded by the Buglers.
