HUMAN VOICE ORCHESTRA,
A COMPLETE ORCHESTRA,
Consisting of Wind and Stringed Instruments.
To those Who have not had an opportunity of witnessing these
entertaining Performers, it may be stated that they represent. by
the Human Voce, a complete Orchestra of both Wind and Stringed
Instruments ; even the Drum, Cymbals, Musical Box, and Bagpipes,
are Imitated with a correctness that would deceive the most acute
ear. Their merits have been so frequently expounded by the
leading newspapers, and above two millions of Auditors, that it is
unnecessary to enumerate them.
ROGFtAMME.
4, Rule Britannia,"—Full Band, with imitation of Drum and
Cymbals.
Solo,—An imitation of four different instruments, and ranging the
extraordinary compass of four octaves, by W. T. PARK, whose
imitations of the various instruments appear to ne marvellous.
German Chorus, " Volkslied,"—arrau,ged for the Band, and giving
an extraordinary illustration of the compass of the Human
Voice.
Huntsman's Chorus,—From "Der Freichutz," with Echo in Imi-
tation of the Musical Box. Though it has been conjectured that
this is a mechanical contrivance, it might be stated that the
Imitation is producd by nothing but the unaided voice.
The Old Song of "Old Tow'er,"—Newly arranged for the Band,
by Hoffman, introducing the Huntsman's Horn and Hounds in
full cry—" Away they go, up the hill side 1"
