Cecil Burleigh, an English composer,
has written a descriptive sonata for
pianoforte and violin which, so far as
title and purpose go, recalls the So
natas of old Kuhnau, one of Bach's
predecessors as Cantor at Lie2sic.
Kuhnau wrote a set Of Biblical sonatas
describing Saul cured OF his madness
by the harping Of David, conan s!aih
bv David. etc Mr.. Bur.elgh's sonata
is entitled "The Ascension sonata and
q quasi official description Of it tells Us
that the opening measures portray the
aDpearauce of Jesus as d babe p the
maucer. Following this is the fortls-
simo passage illustrating Herod, ms
envy aroused to hatred against the
Jews. the Staying of all the children
=. Bethlehem and the voice OF lemente-
ton which went up rs the result OIL MS
/ deed. The return of the first subject
represents the return Of Jesus rom
Tpypt. The entire second movement
is intended 90 describe mainly the
rebellion Of the people against the
teachings Of Jesus and eliminates IN
the Crucifxion. The last movement Is
meant to represent the temperance OF
Jesus and his final ascension The
scheme IS quite worthy Of hunn2u, or
be il said with reverence, John Pnlen!N-
Mr.. and Mrs. Names are to play the
work next season.
