(Synopsis: This overture opens with a broad theme in the style of a Gipsy folk song of strongly marked character. A plaintive melody which follows (given to clarinet and oboe), suggests the sadness of the rejected lover. Then the key changes.to the tonic major, and the melody develops into a passionate lovetheme, The Gipsy folk-song, suggesting Fate, interrups the conclusion of the love song, and leads into a dance tune, first played by violin solo, and then developed at some length, descriptive .of the light-hearted nature of the Gipsy girl. The love-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 rtecitative 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 which (with a final reference to the Gipsy folk-song just before the end) brings the overture to a conclusion. 811: Sopra solo-Miss Violet Harrison, "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" uilter). 8.15: Male choruses-Parlophone Melody Co., "Convivial Songs." 1.
