For a moment the storm dies down to an angry mutter, but it soon returns in redoubled fury. A new theme is now -heard-founded on a phrase of the "Senta Motive’-the motive of redemption. This alternates with the "Curse" theme for a while, and soon leads intc a fragment of the sailors’ chorus, played by the woodwind. Still the storm rages, and works up to a terrible enunciation of the "Curse" motive by the brass-and then, when the end seems to come with the evil powers triumphant, the hurlyburly is suddenly stilled, and an apotheosis is made on the motive’ of redemption-the overture closing on a note of peace and hope). 8.18: Soprano solo-Miss Nora Gray, "The Page’s Song" (Mozart). 8.22: Baritone solos-Mr. John Prouse, recitative and aria, (a) "And God said’; (b) "Rolling in Foaming Billows" ("The Creation’’) (Haydn). . 8.27: Cornet solo with orchestral accompaniment-Mr. W.
