EXACTLY what Debussy meant when he called this Suite Bergamasque is not quite clear. The word really means, as readers of the Midsummer Night's Dream know, a dance, and it takes its name from Bergamo. Such dances, sometimes with words, appear in old sixteenth -century collections, and violoncellists know it from the one which Piatti wrote for his instrument. He was himself a native of Bergamo.
Debussy's Suite has no more to do with the old dances than a certain old-fashioned flavour which is, of course, blended with his own dainty and delicate freshness. There are four movements-Prelude, Minuet, Moonlight, and Passepied.

ANDRÉ Messager , who died in the spring of this year, at the good old age of seventy-six, was for long a familiar figure in the London musical world, apart from the successful productions here of some of his best light operas. The first of these, La Bearnaise, enjoyed a long run at the Prince of Wales Theatre with Miss Florence St. John and Miss Marie Tempest in the principal parts. Some years later he achieved a still more important sucoess with La Basoche, which was given in an English version at d'Oyly Carte's Royal English Opera House. In later years we remember his Little Michus and Veronique, and his ballet The Two Pigeons is often heard as orchestral music.
