THE HALLÉ ORCHESTRA, conducted by SIR HAMILTON HARTY Solo Horn, RAYMOND MEERT Solo 'Cello, CLYDE TWELVETREES
THIS is a set of variations, a form admirably suited to the adventures of the Don.
There is an Introduction which shows us
Don Quixote 's interest in gallant, knightly doings. After a little, a solo 'Cello gives us the theme which represents the Knight- of the Doleful Countenance himself. The Bass Clarinet and Tuba begin the stout theme of Sancho Panza. Now the two start on their adventures. It is only possible here to give the heading of each Variation : I. The Adventure with the Windmills. II. The Victorious Conflict with the Host of the Emperor Alifamfaron. III. Discourse between Sancho Panza and his lord. IV. The Adventure with the Disciplinants. V. The Knight's Vigil. VI. He meets Dulcinea. VII. The ride through space. VIII. The famous Adventure of the Enchanted Bark. IX. The Fight with two Wizards. X. The Combat with the Knight of the White Moon. Don Quixote's defeat. He becomes a shepherd. Finale. Don Quixote's Death.
