FAMOUS BATTLES
WILDLY ORTRAYED
BY PIANO MUSIC

Literature and the movies" are not
the only vivid portrayers Of battle
scenes. Music, which hath charms

draw striking tone pictures OF the
turmoil OF conflict. The majority OF
the battles at the keyboard" have
their being in four-hand arrange
ments in which the primo player

Which are the most celebrated

The early writer's OF programmatic
music put their battle scenes into
choral form-four or i've part. Thus

iguano" u5l5), describing a victory
OF King Francis I against the Swiss;
THE Battle of Metz" and 1.-The TAX
ing OF Boulogne," and Matthias Her
mann, a Battle OF Pavia" 15l6).
Yet the keyboard composers were to
have their innings as well. William
Byrd, the English organist (1543-
1929, wrote a battle piece"-never
published but to be found in the
British Museum-in which are de-
scribed the marching OF infantry and

pipes, the battle itself, retreat OF the
enemy, and the triumph OF the vic

No statement has as yet come from

dcpIorable should such a thing hap

as would nearly the entire hundred

Foremost among the names OF those
who could maintain the Boston Sym

His musicianship is beyond dispute,
