Andante -Tschaikowsky,
Peter Hitch (1840-1893) born Wot-
kinsk, Russia. ..
The "Andante Cantabile" is the sec
ond movement of RELATIONSHIPS
First String Quartet" opus II, one
of the most beloved works from the
pen of this great master. The air, an
old Russia folk tune, first came to the
composers notice through the song
of workman engaged on a. house near
the composers home. Tschaikowsky
wrote the melody down and afterwards
used it as the slow movement of his
quartet. The original song can be
found in Rimsky- Korsakoff's " One
Hundred National Russian Songs"
The "Andante" begins with the vio-
lin and cello in duet while the inner
instruments-the second violin and
viola-play a sustained accompani-
ment. This melody is smoothly flow
ing and reverent in its emotional quail
lty, giving that same feeling of awe
experienced when gazing at some of
natures handiwork All through this
theme, which is repeated, the violin,
and cello sing their duet, which fl
nally resolves into an antiphona1 pass
age leading to the entrance of the
second melody. This is introduced by
the lower instruments with a series
of chords in groups of two, then the
violin carries the melody, full and rich
on the G. String. This is repeated on
the higher strings, then breaks as the
seems to linger caressingly
on little bits of the theme. The end
comes after the violin has mounted
high in the treble, and the ensemble
plays two long sustained chords-a fit
ting Amen.
Berceuse from "Jocelyn"- GODDARD,
Benjamin (1848-1895), born in Paris,
France. Godard's opera of "Jocelyn"
was produced in Brussels in 1888 and
would now be forgtten but for the
charming cradle song or "Berceuse".
GODDARD is chiefly known as the COM
poser of salon music, although he
wrote eight operas among his many
other compositions. AS writer of the
smaller forms he was master of tone
and musical color His "Berceuse" has
long been favorite both as a vocal
and as an instrumental composition.
A soft vaguely shifting series of har-
monicoes begin the number, followed
by a short recitative passage which
leads directly to rich restful chords.
1t is almost as though the restless
child had snuggled into the mothers
arms and there feels secure in that
protective embrace. The second
melody now enters with its swaying
rythm This is the lullaby, and its
