I'hone West 363 CHORAL SOCIETY Included in the interesting music chosen by the Society for study during the ensuing season is the "First Walpurgis Night" a ballad for solo. chorus and or- chestra, the words by Goethe and the music by Felix Mendel- ssohn-Bartholdy. The night between 30th April and 1st hiay is, in Germany, known as Walpurgis Night, as being dedicated to Walpurga. In the popular tradition it is 0Up- posed to be the night for great festivals of devils and witches on the Hertz hiountains. Goethe's own designation of "The First IValpurgis Night" doubtless expresses his intention to expose in the poem how the popu)ar superstition arose of the use by the old Druids of a mas- querade or stratagem which aft- terwards remained as a Bxed belief. The music opens with the Druids meeting in the glade of the Glen at the awakening of spring to carry on their sacred rites. Being afraid of attack and destruction by their foes the Druids decided on a subterfuge to frighten snd scare their ene- mies and feign themselves as 0 band of demons with calls of beasts, owls and ravens. The rally of the Druids to their purpose culminates in the re- nowned and inspiring chorus of "Come with torches brightly Bashing" which opens with the male section of the choir, is later joined by full chorus end leads into their call to prayer. Their object is eminently 0Uc- cessful causing the rout of their foes pursued by "imp and devil wrapt in clouds of lurid vepour." The poem is intended to be highly symbolic and ends with the idea of Druids and their foes when bigotry and hatred are laid aside and both join in enthusi- asm, glowing and bright to "The Great Thine, whose light shall shine forever." The music was composed by Mendelssohn just as he approach- ed the zenith of his great musical power and dramatically pict- ures the whole poem in all its moods. The work lends itself particularly to orchestration and the public can look forward to a musical treat as the orchestra- tion will be arranged by Miss Margaret McIntyre, the gifted accompanist of the Society, and the work gives great scope for interpretation by the choir. hiendelssohn, unlike almost all the great musical giants of the past, was nursed in the lap of luxury and never knew the cold and hunger of life. But, with every incentive to an idle and contented life, he toiled like a galley slave and saw in his wealth only the means of s more exclusive concentration on his art. Born at Hamburg, 3rd Feb- ruary, 1809, he displayed the same precocity of talents as that shown by Mozart. He unfortun- ately died at the early age of 38. Short as was his career Mendel- ssohn has left behind a great number of magnificent works, in- cluding his great Symphony in A Major and his oratorios "St. Paul" and "Elijah" which will live forever.
