The BIRMINGHAM MILITARY BAND
ALTHOUGH the Cockaigne Overture is already a quarter of a century old, the London of which it gives so bright a picture is very much the ' Town ' as we know it today.
The opening is eloquent of the crowded streets, the bustio of every day. Quite soon there is an episode descriptive of the more serious and dignified side of London's character, and, after a return of the gay opening, we hear a theme which portrays two young lovers. London urchins are then cunningly presented by a merry doubling of the ' Nobilmente ' theme (London's dignity). A now episode is military band, heard first afar off, drawing near, and passing by with blatant pomp and brilblatant pomp and brilliance, fading again into the distance. Again a little later, tho young lovers are assailed by band music-this time a rough-and - ready street band. Its well-meant, but dissonant, efforts are heard in a grotesque version of the first band tune. A quieter section follows ; the lovers have found sanctuary, and only echoes of the busy streets can reach them. What follows is repetition of these episodes, and tho Overture finishes in the gay mood in which it began.
