Liszt's ' Two episodes from Lenau's Faust ' are considered by the admirers of the composer's music to be two of his finest orchestral works. The ' Mephisto Waltz ' is well known to listeners, but ' The Procession in the Night' is unfortunately rarely heard. It describes Faust wandering through the summer night. He meets some pilgrims who are singing a chant. He is deeply moved, and after they have gone he remains lost in thought.
