"The Voice of the Bells"

(THURBAN’S "he Voice of the Bells,’ a charming descriptive number which has been very popular, will be played at 1YA on Tuesday evening. The following synopsis of the piece will interest listeners :- "The sun is slowly rising behind the mountain tops. The monks of St. Bernard assemble for their morning prayer. The voice of the bells is heard far and near. A storm creeps up, then breaks with sudden fury. The monks, in haste, leave the monastery to succour the victims of the storm, which rapidly increases in intensity. The voice of the bells is heard in warning: "Try not the pass." The wind howls and the snow eddies around the monks as they beat their way through the storm, battling with the elements, At last they reach the poor, half-frozen wayfarer, "Excelsior." They lift the sufferer upon their shoulders and prepare to carry him to a safe haven. The wind increases and the storm becomes more terrific in its intensity. Alas! The monks fear that they and their burden are lost. They pause and pray for guidance They listen-their prayer is answered. They hear again in the distance "The Voice of the Bells," calling to home and safety." PEETTUPT TVET UPPLEPUU TT EULEEPRTEEPUUE EEUU EU OCG EPP EPUEtCEE PPT POPUP EEUU UEE LEE LULL
