In view of the fact that the above series will involve the Club in considerably increased expenditure, the Committee have decided to discontinue the issue of Friend's Ticket, and to issue only Member's Ticket at a subscription of 25/- each for the season. This will include entertainment tax and no charge will be made for programmes. A limited number of Tickets for the Session will be issued to Junior Musical Students at 15/- subject to application being made to the Secretary before 15th September, 1919. The Concerts will commence at 7-45 p.m. punctually. The Committee hope that all who took Member's or Friend's Tickets last year will support the Club in the forth-coming season, and it is hoped that they will do what they can to increase the membership. In order that the Committee may be able to make provision for the accommodation in the limited space at their disposal, all intending members, both old and new, are requested to notify the Secretary or Treasurer as soon as possible. Subscriptions should be paid to the Hon. Treasurer: Mr. P. Lockyer, National Provincial and Union Bank of England, Westgate, Huddersfield. as

Fill my eyes, My love so "Never stars deceit of yours has brought me sad- ness!" she cries aloud. "Soon now my life is enci you call to me, yet death I greet with gladness." Then comes the Dwarf beside the Queen to bind about her slender neck the silken cord of scarlet; and weeps and weeps, as though despair and tears would blind his eyes.

She pressed her hands to stay her young heart's throbbing, with burning tears she raised her eyes to heaven, to speed the prayer with which her soul was yearning. "May through my death no pain to thee be given!" she cries. On her pale cheek his lips he presses, and in the kiss to endless sleep she passes. The Dwarf looks on the Queen, whom death has taken; in deeps of sea with his own hands he drowns her. He longs for her, his heart for grief is breaking; he burns for her, his heart is torn with longing. And ne'er a land will greet him more returning home. 3

She is dying Sleep has deserted her feverish eyes, and the joys of life and the ecstacies of life are calling to her. But at the window, in the silence of the night, death is singing to her his serenade :- From the darkness of thy captivity, in which thy youth is fading, I have come to liberate thee. Behold thyself. How beautiful thou art ! How bright thy cheek! How wonderful thy hair falling around thee ike a cloud. (b) Hunger (by request) The Nec- Words by Nekrasoff. Although Russia is great and her lands are vast, still there are many parts of the country where the peasants possess very little land, and in case of bad crops those districts are stricken with famine. words of this song are written by our great poet rasoff, and describe a famine-stricken peasant.

1. Quartet in E minor, Opus 83 - Elgar. (A) Allegro moderato. (B) Piacevole (poco Andante). (c) Finale, Allegro molto. PROGRA This Quartet is the second of three already famous Chamber Works written in 1918. The first movement opens in an ecclesiastical style, which gives place in the third bar to a restless two-note figure, the real basis of the movement. The second subject is introduced over a suggestion of the opening bar, and appears in a variety of moods, all typically Elgarian. The slow movement is one of the most beautiful creations of the Composer. Commencing in three-part harmony, the entry of the first violin after eighteen bars simply doubles the melody given to the second violin. The contrast of tone-colour and the string treatment make this movement one of exceptional charm and appeal. The Finale opens in an energetic manner, and in the conversational style. A middle semiquaver section adds a touch of humour. Towards the end the opening wedge-like subject appears, together with a theme derived from the second subject. 2. Quartet in F major Maurice Ravel. (A) Allegro moderato. (B) Assez vif, très rythmé. (c) Très lent. (D) Vif et agité. First performed at the Schola Cantorum in March, 1904, this Quartet placed Maurice Ravel amongst the

GRAMME... foremost musicians of the day. At the age of twenty-eight the Composer had achieved a reputation, envied by many, through the difficult medium of the string quartet. A delightful work, revealing strong musicianship, this example abounds in ingenious and exquisitely original humour. The clever distortions of the original theme, the unique rhythm of the second movement, the dreamy sadness of the third, and the verve of the brisk Finale, all proclaim the confidence and strength of youth. 3. Quartet in D major (A) Allegro moderato. (B) Scherzo. (c) Notturno. (D) Finale. Borodin. Alexander Borodin, born in Petrograd in 1834, was the son of Prince Gudeonoff, a descendant of the hereditary rulers of Georgia. This descent accounts for the fact that in all his works we find Eastern traits and oriental tendencies. The Quartet in D major, full of a melodic charm easily appreciated by the hearer, is essentially a work which speaks for itself. Borodin was an outstanding refutation of the prevailing theory that a second lucrative occupation is incompatible with the serious pursuit of music, for he was a great authority on chemistry, and the author of several books, famous in their day ("Fluoride of Benzole,' Solidification of Aldetrydes," etc.) He also took a leading part in the emancipation of women at that period. 99 66 (Analytical Notes by G.
