Oliver Opera House: Gilmores Band

Description:	Oliver Opera HouseMonday, June 11, 1888Gilmore’s Band.Evening Programme.Commencing at 8:00.1. Overture. - “Tannhauser,” WagnerGilmore’s BandThe Repertoire of Gilmore’s Band now contains over 5,000 pieces of music, including more than 200 overtures. In selecting one from the latter number for a concert programme, the question arises, which is most likely to meet the wishes and gratify the desire of the music-loving people? In the recent tours of Gilmore’s Band, Mr. Gilmore has found “Tannhauser” pre-eminently the favorite. It is therefore placed on the programme for this concert, as being one of the grandest works of its class that ever came from the pen of composer.2. Quartette for French Horns. - “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.” FosterMessrs. Weston, Caso, Ringer and Zilm.3. Aria for Baritone. - “Il Balen.” Verdi.Sung by Signor Giovanni Tagliapeitra.4. Nocturne Religeuse, “The Last Hope.” Gottschalk Gilmore’s Band.This is a work of extraordinary delicacy and difficulty for any Military Band, and none are more willing to acknowledge its fair accomplishment by the Gilmore organization than first-class pianists, many of whom would not believe, until they heard it, that wind instruments alone could ever perform such compositions as “The Last Hope.”5. Aria for Soprano. - “Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark.” BishopSung by Madame Annie Louise Tanner.(Flute Obligato, by Mr. Fred Lax.)6. Selection from Die Walkure, Introducing “The Ride of the Walkures.” Wagner.Gilmore’s Band.This splendid selection from one of Wagner’s greatest works, will doubtless be as gratifying to all lovers of the so-called “music of the future,” as it is to the members of the band, and the musical profession generally.7. Duett from Lucia Di Lammermoor. - “Sulla Tomba.” Donizetti.Sung by Signorina Carlotta and Mr. Chas. Turner.8. Overture - “William Tell.” Rossini.Gilmore’s Band.“William Tell” is unquestionably the most popular overature ever written. Its first performance took place at the Academie Royale, Paris, August 3, 1829, since which date, it is safe to say it has been performed by bands and orchestras ten times to one of any other overture ever composed. With musical people generally it is still a great favorite, and is always a welcome and attractive feature on the programme of a popular concert.9. Solo for Cornet, “Remembrances of Switzerland.” Liberati.Performed by Signor Liberati.10. Morceaux de Salon, “Valse Caprice.” Rubenstein.Gilmore’s Band.This “Valse Caprice” by the eminent composer and pianist, Rubenstein, holds a prominent place in the repertoire of all first-class pianists. It is a very inspiring work of its class, and its performance by Gilmore’s Band has widened the scope of its popularity by taking it out of the “classic chamber,” and playing it for all the world.11. Quartette from Rigoletto, “Bella Figlia Dell ‘Amore.” Verdi.Signorina Carlotta, M’lle Helene Mellini, Messrs. Turner and Tagliapietra.12. Quadrille of all Nations. Jullien. Gilmore’s Band.(In five numbers as follows:)1. Introduction and Russian Hymn.2. March, Battle Scene, and Marseillaise Hymn.3. Theme, with variations for Piccolo (Signor De Carlo.) Oboe (Signor De Chiarri,) and Clarinet Corps in unison.4. Aria, with variations for Cornets, (Messrs. Liberati and Austin); ending with all the Brass playing the melody in unison.5. Grand Finale, introducing the airs of several nations, including “The Harp that once through Tara’s Halls,” “Watch on the Rhine,” etc., the whole concluding with the anthem know[n] in Great Britain as “God Save the Queen,” in Germany as “God Save the Emperor,” and in this country as “America.”13.
