The Festivals Music

i To be Of High Order
s Professor Frederick G. Hair has pre-
pared for The Times Dispatch tho fol-
lowing article on tho music to be given
at the festival:
TO all music lovers Of the city the
present season should be especially well
come and grateful, for 1t brings with It
its annual feast Of good things In the
musical line. prepared for us by the We'd
nesday Club. M f
al Tho first evening Of this years festi-f
val will be, as usual, given to oratorio.s
and on this occasion We are to be enter
tanned by the Inelodous strains OF
Haydn's great idyllic and pastoral cam
tata. or. as 1t is generally called the
oratorio OF THE Seasons.'' the last OF
& his greater works, written In 1909, In
the sixty-seventh year Of his age. It
would be- difficult to find n work of the
same length moro replete with beautiful
melody. and presenting such variety
! OF moods, from the serious and religious
4 to the gay and festive, as is to be found
intths compositions. As 1t is not on .reli-
Z glous and Biblical SUBJECTS It does not
come strictly under what is generally
understood by the name "oratorio." The
text was taken from the well known
poem by James Thomson,

with the powers Of nature In their rela-
lions both to their Creator ana to man,
Y who Is benefited or injured by them;3
hence the music accompanying them Is

expression In sad music. except nlomen-
55tarily. The polyphonic portions OF the
work arc less elaborate and easier to
Y understand on first hearing than Is the
y case with the more serious oratorlos,
and tho figures are less IN number and
OF shorter duration, This last fact will I
no doubt be good news to the many nom
admirers Of that particular style of
writing, the majority OF whom might be
ready to subscribe to the definition OF q
