Solo violin, Milstein from the Pavilion, Bournemouth Constant Lambert's Horoscope was written las: year and was produced at Sadler's Wells in January. Its theme is the very ancient belief in the influence exerted on human beings by sun and moon in conjunction with the twelve divisions of the zodiac. The chief characters are a man and a woman. He has been born with the sun in Leo and the moon in Gemini ; her sun is in Gemini, her moon in Virgo. In the words of the composer: ' The two opposed signs of Leo and Virgo ... struggle to keep the man and woman apart. It is by their mutual sign, the Gemini, that they are brought together and by the moon that they are finally united.'
