Never, Never" recalls the conciud-
ing pharases Of . chorus In Ros-
sfni's william Tell". A little OF the
tempestuousness Of Strauss, even
though equally reminiscent, would
give the prologue more conviction.
The chorus, THE Wine Mounting
Higher, THE Toast to the Grape
and the Bacchanal Dance are among
the weaker moments Of the score.
There is much to admire in the
treatment Of "Armageddon." The
music allotted to the Spirit of War
is vigorous and convincing. The
chorus, Peace on Earth" is in eff
fective contrast, and the cumula-
tive effect of the choral treatment
of THE Seven Vials," already re-
ferred to, is an arresting and i'm
pressive one. The narrator opens
the part called Babylon" with i'm
pressive defamation, followed by
a march of no inconsiderable pow
er. The music then allotted to the
personifcation of Babylon-describ-
ed in the text as 1.-The mother Of
harlots, the woman lacking in the
maternal, the creative instinct"-ii
the most dramatic and stirring Of
the oratorio. The treatment Of
1.-The Millennium" is ecclesiastica
in character and suggestion, ant
there are some beautiful moments
particularly the opening chora
phrases, And l saw . new heaven
I and the tenor solo, "A pure river o
water OF life"
Il Much as the solo voice part
throughout the oratorio trace bacl
, to the music-drama, the chora
parts suggest older church forms
, without, however, disturbing tn
unity which is one of the outstand
I ing merits Of the work.
