THE STATION STRING ORCHESTRA, conducted by FREDERICK BROWN
THE DELUGE is an Oratorio based upon a * poem by Louis Gallet. The Prelude may be taken as suggesting the idea of God's judgment on the world, and His reconciliation. A majestic. slow Introduction leads to a fugal section, which is followed by a gentle and peaceful songlike portion, concluding the Prelude.
WRITING to his friend and benefactor,
Madame von Meek, in 1880, Tchaikovsky said that his Muse had been very benevolent, for he had written two long works very rapidly. One was the 1812 Overture, of which he said. ' It has no great artistic value ' ; the other was the Serenade in C (his Op. 48), which, he says, 'on the contrary, I wrote from an inward impulse ; I felt it.' It was one of the works he conducted in London in 1888, when he was paying his first visit to this country.
The Serenade contains four Movements-a piece in ' First Movement' form, with themes of an old-world cast; a Waltz ; an Elegy ; and a Finale based on folk-tunes, one a hauling song of the Volga Boatmen, and the other a street song.
