From {it he evolved the main theme, sumMciently like a Welsh tune to be taken for real folk music. Later, another song heard in’ the Wye Valley confirmed the first impression, and the work was carTied to completion. It was first performed in March, 1905, along with the third ‘Pomp and Circumstance" March. 2.12 Berlioz’s Challenge to Gounod 3.0 "Pioneering the Wairarapa: Explorers and Settlers": A talk prepared by Mrs. N.

Tired of it all, he decides to take poison. AS he 18 about to drink it, he hears the voices of a church choir. The holy strains break his resolve. He decides to lve for higher things. Startled by the appearance of Mephistopheles, who promises him all that his heart could desire, Faust forgets his resolve and asks Mephistopheles to give him back his youth. The Devil transforms him into a handsome young man, and lulls him into a deep Sleep. In his dreams the Devil conjures up a vision of Marguerita, and when Faust awakens, takes him to the house of Marguerita, who in turn has dreamed of Faust. The love scene between Marguerita and Faust is interrupted, and Faust es+ capes through the garden, and forsakes Marguerita. Faust is then taken to a rocky mountain gorge, where Mephistopheles tells him that Marguerita is in’ prison, condemned to death. He will save her tf Faust will become his slave for ever. Faust signs the bond, and they begin 4 wild ride at breathless speed. At the end, amid horrible sights and sounds, they drop into the inferno. Then Angels descend to bear Marguerita to Heaven. 8.45 Reserved 9.0 Daventry news 9.10 Dominion and district weather reports and station notices 9.15 Continuation of Berlioz’s "The Damnation of Faust" 10.
