Mr. fagars overture is novelty, which had It's
first performance at a concert OF the Lonooh FHi'
harmonic Society June 20 OF this year. the COM
poser conducting II had its first performances IN
,be United States a week ago last Friday after
noon when Mr.. Gericke brought it forward IN
Boston and Mr.. Thomas in Chicago Mi Hale ols-
courses delightfully."- about the mythical land OF
Cockaigne in his notes the Boston programme.
It is not this country that the music of the over
ture is supposed to delineate, but London Town
Here is Mr Hale's outline of the poetic contents
of the music:
This overture is succession Of scenes; II may
be called panoramic. The scenes are connected py
a slender thread. The composer iIaastnes TWO
levers strolltng through the streets OF the town
The first picture suggested is that Of the anfma
OF the intense vitality Of the street life. Then
comes a section, which, according TO the com
poser's sketch expresses the sincere ano ardent
spirit underlying the Cockaigners fTiFoIty ara
ltIxury." The lovers seek quiet IN park and give
way their emotions They grow passionate,
but they interrupted and disconnected by the
rough pranks of young Cockaigners. The lovers
leave the park and seek what Charles Lamb de-
sc-ibed the security Of the streete. A
military band approaches, passes with E-ceous rage
and fury. and at last is at q safe 6no reasonable
distance The lovers go into e church The organ
is PLAYING and here they cannot escape wholly
the noise of the street. To the street they return
and the former experiences are renewed.
tn Oratorio Society will give a performance OF
Elijah" on tomorrow evening for the Peoples
choral Union and the music teachers OF the public
schools of New-York who on this occasion will be
the guests of Mr. and Mrs Andrew Carnegie The
