A special orchestral programme of concert numbers published by the . Bosworth Publishing Co.. (London) :- 8i: Ovyerture-The Orchestra, "Chal Romano" (Gipsy Lad), (Ketelby). This overture opens with a broad theme, (a) in the style of a Gipsy folk-song of strong character, A plain-. tive melody (b) which follows (given te the clarinet and oboe) suggests the sadness of the rejected lover; at (¢)_ the key changes to the Tonic Major and the melody develops into a passionate love-theme. The Gipsy folk-song (d) suggesting Fate, interrupts the conclusion of the lovetheme and leads into a dance-tune (e) first played by violin solo and then developed at some length, descriptive | of the light-hearted nature of the gipsy girl; the loye-theme is now heard again (in-a quicker tempo than originally) | with scraps from the girl’s dance tune interwoven:.with it. A kind of recitative (£) for ’cellos suggests the lover pleading with the girl, but the gipsy folk-song heard immediately after expresses the hopelessness of his appeal, and she dances away to join the gipsy revels (g}) which (with a final FF reference to the gipsy folk-song just before the end) brings the overture to a conclusion. . (a) "Andante pesante e rubato." (b) "Poco piu mosso," (c) "A tempo." (a) "Andante." . {e) "Allegro scherzando." (f) "Andante quasi recitative," (g) "Presto." 8.9: ‘Tenor solo-Mr. Arthur Coe, "Farewell to Summer" (Johnson). 8.14: Violin soli-Miss Ava Symons, (a) "On Wings of Song" (Mendelssohn7 Achron); (b) "Saltrelle’ (German). 8.22: Contralto solo-Miss Lily Mackie, "Harvester's Night Song" (Power). 8.26: Instrumental-The Orchestra, "By the Blue Hawaiian Waters" (tone . picture-Ketelby). After a short dreamy introduction a vigorous movement illustrates the well-known Hawaiian "Hula-Dance." This is succeeded by 2 mysterioso passage representing the arrival of the native lover. He plays his native love-call (given by the clarinet), which is then taken up by the violin, ete. This leads into the "Song of Hula Girl." It gradually dies away, and is succeeded by the "Dance of the Betrothal Ceremony," which brings the piece to a lively conclusion. (a) "Hula Dance." (b) "The ‘Hanaka’ lover appears." {c) "Song of the Hula Girl." ‘ (d) "Dance of the Betrothal Ceremony." 8.33: Soprano solo-Mrs. Alice Harris, "I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls" (from "The Bohemian Girl’), (Balfe). $38: Humour-Mr. Geo. Peek, "ISxits" (Gray). 8.45: Relay of organ solus by Mr. H. Temple-White, (a) "Chorale" (Ree) ; (b) "Melody in D Flat’ (St, Clair); (¢) "Finale" (Lemmens). 8.55: Weather forecast. 8.57: Instrumental-The Orchestra (by request), "In a Persian Market" (Ketelby). The camel-drivers approach; the cries of beggars for "backsheesh" are heard; the beautiful princess enters, carried by her servants (she is represented by a theme, given at first to clarinet and ’cello, then repeated by full orches-tra)-she stays to watch the jugglers and snake charmer. The Caliph now passes through the market and interrupts the entertainment; the beggars are heard again-the princess prepares to depart and the caravan resumes its journey. The theme of the princess and the camél-drivers is heard faintly in the distance, and the market-place becomes deserted. 9.5: Baritone solo--Mr. Len. Barnes, "Good Fellows Be Merry" (from "Peasant Cantata’), (Bach). 2.9: Humour-Mr. Geo. Peek, Burlesque character sketches, (a) "My Guitar" (David); .(b) "Mary Ann" (Leigh), 9.17: Instrumental-The Orchestra, Suite Romantique, "Revel D’Amour" (Ketelby) :- *. , (a) "Romance."
