OYA. L SURREY GARDENS. H
-
, The GUIDES' BAND by gracious permission of his Majesty
Leopold the First, King of the Belgians. To commence THIS
EVENING, July 1, 1857, and CONTINUE THREE WEEKS.
PROSPECTUS.
M. JOLLIEN has great satisfaction in annauncing that, after
having endeavoured for the last four years to introduce the cele-
brated Musique Militaire des Guides du Rol des Beiges to the English
public, he has this year succeeded in obtaining his Majesty's gra-
cious permission. His Majesty has gracious'y allowed this magnifi-
cent corps de musique to proceed to London for a very limited
peri d, prior to the marriege of her Royal Highness the Princess
Charlotte with his Imperial Highness the Archduke Maximilian of
Austria.
Itis unnecessary for M. Jullien to inform those of his patrons who
have travelled on the Continent of the immense and deserved repu-
tation of this splendid military orchestra, which is considered one of
the most perfect in Europe. For the public in general, the following
remarks may not be considered superfluous.
The Band of the Guides was incorporated in 1831, upon the acces-
sion of his Majesty King Leopold ; and that of the Guides Imperiaux
of France wife framed on its model, in 1812, by his Imperial Majesty
Napoleon the Third.
Most of the artists comprised in this Band are pupils of the Con-
servatoire of Brussels, under the direction of the celebrated M. Fetis.
Its perfection of ensemble and the individual talent of its members
have been so universally acknowledged, that for the last twenty
years it has boon regarded as a nursery whence the orchestras of the
principal musical institutions ha Europe have drawn their best per-
formers on wind instruments. Among those artists formerly en-
gaged in it, and who have obtained the greatest success in M, Jul-
lien's Orchestra, may be cited the celebrated flutist Reichert, the emi-
nent elarionists Nuillie and Lafosse ; the trumpet, Duheme ; the
French horns, Simar and Stennenbrugen ; and many others of
European renown. In fact, M. Jullien, who has heard nearly all the
principal bands of the different courts of Europe. can assert, a ithout
fear of contradiction, that there are but two which can fairly com-
pete with the Guides of Brusse's, viz., the Banda of the Imperial
Marines of Trieste, and the Guides imperiaux of Paris.
The Band is composed of upwards of fifty artists, under the per-
sonal direction of their renowned conductor, M. slender. Their
engagement at the Royal Surrey Gardens will commence on Wed-
nesday, the Ist of July. when M. Jullien returns from the provinces.
M. Jullien wilt be absent durinz the short time they remain in
London, but he earnestly invites his patrons, the nobility, the public,
the press, and • articularly the military authorities. to avail them-
Selves of an opportunity which may never occur again. The expe-
rience of the Allied armies during the late war indisputably proved
that a pruner organisation of military bands is a matter of more im •
portance than some persons were disposed to think. How often was
the spirit of the troops roused and elevated by the inspiring strains
of martial music, or depressed for want of such a stimulus.
The influence of music in education, civilisation, and even in
politics, is not sufficiently appreciated. M. Jullien has passed his
life in studying its effect upon the people. After the continental
revolutions of 1848, he witnessed, every evening, end for a consi-
derable period, how great was the influence of that magnificent
and Immortal hymn, " God save the Queen," in consolidating
and augmenting the affection and respect of the English sta-
tion for their beloved Sovereign. On the other hand, he saw,
amidst the unfortunate events in his own country, the enormous
power exercised over the masses by the terrible effects of the Mar-
seillaise.
But the present occasion will not admit of further dissertation on
the influence of the divine art over nations and their rulers. M.
Jullien hopes and desires that some more able pen will take up a
question of such public importance. Meanwhile he confidently
tracts that all those who feel an interest in the subject will, on hear-
ing the Guides' Band, agree with him that some improvements may
be introduced in this country with regard to military music.
M. Jullien attempted a step towards progress in that direction, by
establishing, 14 yea's ago, and for the first time in England, a mili-
taryjournal, containing many of the best compositions of Beethoven,
Mozart, Mendelssohn, and other great masters. It has since been
received monthly by all the military bands in the service of her
Majesty, and in that of the Honourable East India Company. Aided
by the late improvements in musical instruments, it has been one of
the means in effecting that visible change for the better which
has already taken place.
The engagement of the renowned Band of the Guides is a further
step in the same direction, and M. Jullien fully expects that It will
be so appreciated ; as he has, personally, no other interest in the
Matter than the continual progress of the art. He therefore hopes
that all those who desire the advancement of music in all its
branches will testify their approval of his conduct by supporting
With their influence, and honouring with their presence, the per-
orma.nce of the Guides' Band at the Royal Surrey Gardens.
