Voice in the Wilderness ' belongs to the period when Bloch was living in Europe, in between his two lengthy sojourns in America: it was completed at Chatel, in the Haute Savoie, in January 1936. Like his other and better-known composition for cello and orchestra, the Hebrew Rhap sody ' Schelomo ' (written some twenty years before), it draws its inspiration from the Bible, and it has been described by the American critic, Dika Newlin , as a ' spiritual successor ' of the earlier work. There are six sections, in each of which there is an important introduction for the orchestra before the solo instrument is introduced. Deryck Cooke

After much argument the young people decide that their play shall be ' Lovers' Vows.' Julia Bertram , piqued by Henry Crawford 's approval of her sister being cast as heroine, refuses to take any further interest in the scheme. Mrs. Norris finds it necessary to take up her abode at
Mansfield Park so that every hour may be spent in the service of the play. Edmund -disapproving of the whole enterprise on his father's account — persuaded to take part rather than permit the introduction of an outsider. Fanny, as prompter, becomes aware of the private dramas within the rehearsals; she observes Rushworlh's misery at Maria's increasing infatuation for Crawford and is obliged to watch an intimate love scene between Mary and Edmund. The first full rehearsal is interrupted by Julia, who announces that Sir Thomas has returned from Antigua and is in the hall.
