'PARODY PIE'
A Song Cycle for Four Voices
Come, live with me and be my love; My true friend hath my hat; Ceyserbianca; Blink to me only with thine eyes; Maud (of all work); The May Queen; Mrs. L. Loree; I stuck a pin into a chair; Exeets-ee-aw
'NONSENSE SONGS'
The Song?! that came out wrong, from Alice in Wonderland '
How doth the little crocodile; Fury said to a mouse; You are old, Father William; Speak roughly to your little boy; Will you walk a little faster? Oh, 'tis love; Mock-turtle Soup; The Queen of Hearts; They told me you had been to her; To Alice.

THE STATION ORCHESTRA
THE Prelude of Jarnefelt is a very unassuming and free-and-easy piece. Over a, tripping quick-march accompaniment a gay tune is given out by one instrument after another, usually overlapping itself in orderly confusion. Then comes a little touch of sentiment in another key, and the first part returns. Jarnefelt (one of the few prominent Finnish Composers besides Sibelius) happened to hit off the right thing with this bit of musical frivolity. Nothing else of his is nearly 80 well known.
Lohengrin is a Knight of the Holy Grail, who comes to champion the wrongfully-accused maiden, Elsa, and marries her.
The Prelude to Act III of the Opera gives the atmosphere of festivity and thanksgiving which follows the marriage.
When Massenet's version of the story of Herod and Salome was to be produced in London, the Censor objected to its title, Herodias, and to the scene of the story being laid in Jerusalem. So the work was called Salome, the names of the characters were changed, the background of the story was shifted to Ethiopia (probably most of the Palestine scenery did just as well - nobody minds, in the opera house!), and everyone was happy.'
The Ballet is that by which Herod diverts himself and trips to forget Salome. There are in this Suite five pieces - Dances of Egyptians, Babylonians, Gauls and Phoenicians, and a Finale.
