THE AUGMENTED STATION ORCHESTRA, conducted by T. H. MORRISON
' rpHE Governor of Boston has fallen in love with the wife of his friend and secretary,
Renato, who swears to be revenged.
In this air he expresses, first, his anger, and then his grief, as ho thinks of the happiness that his false friend has destroyed.
THE weird legend of tho first Saint-Saens piece is familiar to most listeners. The version used is that of a poem by Henri Cazalis. The composer gives us a vivid representation of Death fiddling for the midnight capers of skeletons. Their bones knock together, as the Xylophone tells us. The dance goes on until cock-crow disperses tho ghostly crew.
THE other piece follows the story of the dashing youth Pbacton, who, having been permitted by his father, the Sun, to drive the fiery chariot, loses control of the horses. The car of flame is approaching the earth, and must set it on fire if nothing can intervene. At' the last instant Jupiter hurls a thunderbolt, saving the universe, but destroying the rash youth.
