Here we have a musician’s interpretation of a view of life, Lamartine’s, in the poem in which he asks, ‘‘ What is life but a series of preludes to the song that death begins?" There is the "Prelude of Love," and the tempests that break in upon its joy. There is another prelude in which the unhappy lover seeks balm in quiet retirement from the world; but when the trumpet peals he rushes to the fight, finding his real strength in battle. 9.43 Lauritz Melchior (tenor), "Amfortas the Spear Wound!"

Organist: Miss Eileen O’Connor 8.5 EVENING PROGRAMME: "MUSIC FROM THE THEATRE": The opera "Orpheus and Euridice," by Gluck | The action takes place in Greece, in the Nether Regions and the time is antiquity. Euridice has been bitten by a serpent and is dead. Her Pusband, Orpheus, sadly weeps at the tomb. The God of Love takes pity on Orpheus and tells him that he may descend into Hades and seek the shade of Euridice in Pluto’s dark kingdom, but there is one condition. Orpheus, if he would bring his bride back to the upper regions again, must return to earth without looking at her face. Orpheus, with his lute, wins admission through the gates of Hades and in the Valley of the Blest he finds Euridice. He prays her to follow him, but he never looks at her face. She follows him out of the valley and Orpheus still leads her upwards, never turning his face. In a cave, almost in sight of the land of the living, she cries out and weeps because Orpheus is so indifferent to her. At last he can resist no longer, and turning, gazes on the face of his beloved who sinks lifeless to the ground. Orpheus is about to kill himself when the God of Love, who has watched the scene, appears and, touched by Orpheus’s suffering, waves his hand and brings Euridice to life again.
