The Centennial Festival Symphony Orchestra, under the conductorship of Andersen Tyrer "Variations" ("Enigma") | ER ree Elgar Organist: Trevor Sparling A grand presentation of Elgar’s "DREAM OF GERONTIUS " Soloists: Gladys Ripley (contralto) Heddle Nash (tenor) : Raymond Beatty tone) The Auckland Choral Society assisted by The Royal Auckland Choir The Centennial Festival Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Andersen Tyrer ee from Auckland Town a Based on Cardinal Newman’s poem of the dream of the dying Gerontius and his

ascent to the throne of the Most High, the work contains some of the most moving music of our time. The poem was written in 1865 in distressing circumstances. The Cardinal had lost a dear friend, and his conSequent emotion invested the poem with a profound sincerity. The dramatic content of "Gerontius" is the passing of a soul from life to death, his bringing into the presence of God, and his subsequent transmutation. 10. 0 (approx.)
