The Orchestra — "William Tell’ Overture (Rossini). This brilliant overture to Rossini’s grandiose opera is a popular piece of the concert room, although the opera itself is but rarely heard. Four sections comprise the overture-(1) "Andante Religioso," which may be taken to typify the piety and earnestness of the Swiss mountaineers in revolt against the Austrian tyranny. From this point the composer has drawn a picture of nature in the Swiss mountains. The succeeding "Allegro" (2) is said to represent a storm. Then follows an "Andante" (3) of pastoral character, in which we hear a fine duet for cor anglais and flute. The music suggests a peaceful scene in Alpine meadows. The _ spiritual final section (4), introduced by a trumpet call, is based upon a stirring martial theme with a wonderful rhythmic structure-this brings the overture to a grandoise. conclusion. 7 2.

"Long ago at Kazan where I was fighting, Tsar Ivan sat a feasting with his leadars, There the Tartar horde he harried, Spared not man nor maid unmarried, Then Russia knew fine times! Near and near drew Ivan . About the walls of Kazan; Close and closer pushed his mines Beneath the gates of the town! While the Tartars in the city Watch’d our camp from afar, How their eyes were ever fixed Upon our ruthless Tsar, Tartars sly and fierce! Dark and brooding grew the Tsar Ivan, On his right shoulder bent his head and gave his men the word. , Hire he made an end the cannoneers Held their fuses ready in their hands, Steady, cannoneers. Now the tapers of purest wax are burning bright, Soon the power barrels to the mines are rolling 4 Near the barrels the cannoneers take up their stand. q 1 quick, Ho. lay the lines and lay them sure and thick, Set the train alight! Loudly then the savage Tartar hordes began to yell, By my soul their shouts did rend the air, Scatter’d far and wide the hated foeman lay, Torty thousand Tartars blown to hell On that famous day. Long ago at Kazan where I was fighting! Ho?" 14, Orchestra: "Coppelia Ballet Suite" (Delibes). 1. Slavonic Theme with Variations. 2. Festival Dance and Waltz of the Hours. 8.
