we regard as one of the most di-
vine specimens of musical com
position. Tt describes the bringing
of the Holy Grail to earth by q
group of angels, and could serve
as a prelude to almost any Of the
Wagnerian allegorical operas.
Starting with the faintest whisper
of the stringed instruments at the
very top of the scale. it gradu
ally grows in volume as each in
strument of the. orchestra comes
Into action, and then, after a tire.

doubtedly play it this evening
should be the great feature OF the
performance.
