CHURCH 10 ENE
FINE CONCERT
Wi‘.‘ fulfils:

Public Invited
The Norwalk Church Orchestra.
under the direction of Clarence
Cable. will present to thednusic lov-
ers of this city the best Sunday eve-
ning co H ever given by this or-
chestra. The concert will be given
in ihc‘Norwalk M. E. church next
Sunday.
In response to many requests. Mr.
Cable has agreed to repeat the over-
pleasing and immortal "William
Tell" overture, which is one of the
finest ever written.
This overture has been called “a
symphony in four parts." namely.
At Dawn. The Storm. The Calm. and
The Finale. The text was taken
from Echiller’s drama and the music
was written by Roisini. It was first
presented at Paris, August 3. 1829
The first London production was in
1330. At the New Orleans Opera
it was produced in 1842. and in New
Ybrk at the Metropolitan in 1888. It
was revived at the Century Opera in
New York 1914.
The genus is laid in Switzerland in
t century. William Tell was
a distinguished patriot and chief in-
strument of the revolution which de-
llvcred the Swiss Cantons jrom the
German yoke .n 1207.
To. first scene, or part one of the
overture. depicts a charming village
scene in the Canton of Uri. Tell
and his family are engaged' in rural
occupants. and the fishermen. while
they prepare to put put in their
boats. sing a. lovely barvcarollc.
The opening strains of the over.
ture carry “out this theme. An
“Andante" - movement depicts the
serene solitued of Nature at dawn.
and the music is enchantingly ro-
pout ml. The cello has a slowly
.ciimt'ing figure. a wayward elusive
air which resolves after n time into
n more definite rhvtbmic tune, soon
lap-log into a dreamy meditation.
rwuich continues to the close of the
movement.
Just before the beginning of the
seconi movement the tranquil mood
of the "Andante" is rudely inter-
rupted by the distant mutteripgs of
a storm. A single roll of thunder,
sudden and decisive. lntrudcs at this
point soon followed by another grad-
ually increasing in portent until at
tho fuli'arrival of the second part.
the muttérings. which have been
gathering. burst with full fury.
After the fury of the storm is
spent the strain gradually dies down
into a refreshing calmness once more
As the storm dies away. the sun
bursts forth, revealing the glittering
snowy peaks of the Alps in all their
dazzling beauty.
The third movement begins a
beautiful putoralc. This is filled
with a delicious melody for the
English and French horns. and in
gay gamboling of the flutes. depict-
ing the calm after the storm. The
scene is one. more full of freshness
and peace. ’
As the last notes of the melody
dio‘ away. the trumpets enter with
I. brilliant fanfare on the splendid
finale. This forms s. fitting climax
to this great work. and leaves g
favorable impression on the mind
of the most enacting critic.
The other numbers on the pro.
gram are "Barber of Seville" over-
ture. and a bountiful selection from
the opera. "Faust." by Gounod. In
