Slow Movement and Finale from 'Surprise' Symphony...Haydn

The Symphony gets its name from one chord in the Second Movement. This Movement, a gently, but steadily progressing Air with Variations, begins very softly on Strings alone. Then, at the sixteenth bar, comes a crash from the whole Orchestra - the 'surprise.'

The Last Movement is a quick, jolly one. Note the many instances of Haydn's playful use of alternating Wind and String passages.

Selection from the Ballet Music to 'Prometheus'...Beethoven

The music for the Ballet The Men of Prometheus was the first of Beethoven's works of any importance that was connected with the stage. He wrote an Overture, with an 'Introduction' and sixteen incidental pieces, for the work, which was produced in Vienna in 1801 (when he was thirty-one).
The Ballet was based on the legend of Prometheus, who made clay images of men and stole fire from heaven to bring them to life.
The Ballet was highly successful, being presented sixteen times in the year of its composition, and thirteen times in 1802.

The Wireless Military Band
Conducted by B. Walton O'Donnell
Robert Easton (Baritone)

Cockaigne is a picture of London, the town of the Cockneys; a picture of bustling. cheery, noisy existence. with Romance threading its way bravely through the clatter.
The meaning of Elgar's tunes will be apparent to all who hear them. As the pageant passes we see a number of people in a hurry, a sober citizen or two, a pair of lovers, a cheeky miniature version of the sober citizen, a military band-first in the distance end then close by, the lovers seeking seclusion in a church; the street again with its familiar associations.

Selection from 'Trovatore'

These three pieces were originally written as part of a Suite of Songs for Chorus and Orchestra, entitled From the Bavarian Highlands, each of which depicts in words and tones some picturesque feature of peasant life in this beautiful region. The music is so melodious that it bears presentation in any form, without a word being sung.
