7.30: Lecturette- "Book Review," Mr. H. Greenwood, of the Dunedin Athenaeum. 8.0: Town Hall chimes. . 81: Overture-Royal Opera Orchestra, "1812 Overture" (H.M.V. records ©1280/1) :- Synopsis: This Overture, originally written in celebration of the consecration of the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow, commemorates the withdrawal of Napoleon from Moscow in 1812, when, after he had occupied the Kremlin, the inhabitants fired the city, and drove the French general out. As originally planned, the overture was to be played out of doors, in the public square in front of the Cathedral, by an orchestra of grand dimensions, reinforced by volleys of artillery and a full military band for the finale. The score of this Overture was completed by Tschaikowsky at Kamanka in 1880. This "1812" Overture is by far the most widely known of the Russian composer’s music, and a few words will suffice to describe the general plan of its structure, and suggest its gorgeous display of orchestral resources. Three easily recognised themes form the principal material of the overture-the first (the one with which it opens with violas and violin cellos in solemn harmony) being taken from the Russian hymn, "God Preserve Thy People," the second, the French "Marseillaise," and the third the "Russian National Anthem." The introduction to the Overture is slow and solemn, the theme being the Russian hymn mentioned. Then comes the approach and apparent gradual victory of the French (the "Marseillaise’) rising higher and ringing clearer, until suddenly everything is overwhelmed in a mighty uproar, out of whch the opening theme emerges triumphantly, now most sonorously scored for the full orchestra. A boisterous coda, with the Russian National Anthem in the bass and the chiming of the cathedral bells, then brings the Overture to a crashing close. 8.13: Quartet-4YA Harmonists, "In Absence" (Buck). 8.17: ’Cello solo-Mr. P.

In the first number of this little bracket he questions in restless mood the reason for his affliction. In the second number, one of the simplest and yet most beautiful of inspired melodies, the composer hears the heavenly answer to his questionings-a message of peace and hope. 8.38: Baritone solo-Mr. F.
