Pictorial Music
Composers were writing pictorial music even in the sixteenth century, when John Mundy, organist of St. George's Chapel,
Windsor, astonished his audiences with a 'Meteorological Fantasia ' representing ' Faire Weather,' ' Lightning,' ' Thunder.'
Tonight's musical pictures cover a wide range. Sometimes the music is frankly imitative-the beat of horse-hoofs, now steady, now frenzied, as Phaeton drives the Chariot of the Sun, and in ' Cinderella * when the fanfare of trumpets announces the arrival of Prince Charming. In Liszt's ' Les Preludes,' however, one's imagination is given a freer rein, as the e'oquent music paints the picture of man's existence-of the struggle against fate, and of death.
Harold Neden
