The Aeolian-Vocalion is not the familiar phonograph that you have known for years, it is an instrument of vastly greater powers. Tonal richness and fidelity distinguish the Vocalion. Deep voices of the orchestra that the talking machine intones but dully, high notes of the human voice that have sounded so thinly from your records – these and all of the tonal beauties with which music is enriched, the Aeolian Vocalion revoices undimmed in splendour, unchanged in subtlest quality. The Aeolian-Vocalion "The new and greater phonograph of natural tone" The Aeolian Company in New York – 29 West 42nd Street, 11 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Through the advent of Dromedary Dates the whole world lives next to the "Garden of Eden." Eating the plump, mellow, sugar laden Dromedary Dates is like eating dates freshly picked in far-off Arabia. Take this gift the East offers you. Dromedary Dates belong in your daily menu just as much as eggs and meat. Learn to know this dust-proof, sealed package. Learn to know Dromedary Dates as a food – as a dainty. The Hills Bros. Company, New York.

The idea of a great national Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration was launched at the convention of the Drama League of America in 1914. Immediately it was hailed everywhere with enthusiasm. In February, 1915, under the auspices of the New York Centre of the League, took place a meeting of representative citizens of New York, and out of this meeting grew the local Celebration Committee. Since that time His Honor the Mayor and many of the leading citizens of the metropolis have become interested in the movement and have liberally contributed to it of their time and their means. From the beginning, the purpose has been to honor Shakespeare by fostering the art for which he stands, and since the drama is above all a social art, this has meant the arousing and focusing of all folk-arts, the enlivening of the sense of beauty and the sharpening of the desire for expression throughout the community. A right celebration could not be a matter of words or ceremonies or any mere amenity of praise. It must be democratic and civic, it must allow each to speak in his own voice and must draw all, most and least, into a supreme, communal demonstration. So thousands of celebrations have been held, but all culminate in Mr. MacKaye's Community Masque, "Caliban by the Yellow Sands." Permanent Shakespeare Memorial. Such a quickening of community life as New York has experienced must not be allowed to expire with the last glimmer of light on the commemorative spectacle. Currents have been started which cannot be stopped; aspirations have been aroused which must be satisfied. We must have in New York a permanent memorial to Shakespeare not a lifeless monument, but a quickening centre for our dramatic life. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Otto H. Khan a permanent Shakespeare Memorial Committee has been appointed. The aim of this Committee is to perpetuate and increase the spirit of cooperation aroused by the Celebration and to endeavour to give comprehensive expression, definite aim, and sympathetic guidance to what has hitherto been mainly indeterminate aspiration. The community as a whole is invited to give to this Committee the support it needs in carrying on the great work so well begun.

Presented by the New York Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration Committee 1916. 5. The Supplementary Celebrations. This is the first time that a single dominant note has been introduced into the recreation of the city. It has been done thorough the supplementary celebrations of the Shakespeare Celebration Committee. The aim of the Committee on Supplementary Celebrations has been to inspire as many elements as possible in New York to celebrate the Shakespeare Tercentenary. The Committee has met with great success and enthusiasm. Between seven and eight hundred thousand persons have taken part in the celebrations, reaching a much larger number through their audiences. All nationalities, all classes, all parts of the Greater City and territory adjacent have been involved. Each group has honoured Shakespeare in the way it preferred; each person has contributed what he could; the performances have naturally varied according to the character of the groups interested. All the celebrations expecting the Civic Masque have been financed by the people themselves. Community recreation has made it possible for a whole city to play together. Are we not now better prepared to work together? Much assistance has been obtained from a Bureau of Information conducted by the Committee. This bureau was open every Saturday during the past winter and many hundreds of persons came to consult with regard to plans and secure information with regard to the different forms of celebration. The following lists of celebrations are necessarily incomplete. They will, however, give some idea of the scope of the Tercentenary movement. High Schools Manhattan. N. Y.

The President of the Board of Education and the principals and teachers gave most generously of their time and thought. A handbook prepared through the enterprise of the committee was widely used in the Public Elementary Schools, the Catholic Schools and many schools in the various cities throughout the United States. The material for this handbook was contributed by the teachers of the Brooklyn Training School, especially Miss Frances E. Clark, and the printing was done by the boys of the Prevocational Department of Public School 62, Manhattan.

16. Program of the Community Masque Caliban by the Yellow Sands, by Percy MacKaye. 16. Description of the Masque. Action. The action takes place, symbolically, on three planes: [1] In the cave of Setebos [before and after its transformation into the theatre of Prospero]; [2] In the mind of Prospero [behind the Cloudy Curtains of the Inner Stage] ; and [3] On the ground-circle of "the Yellow Sands" [the place of historic time]. Time. The Masque Proper is concerned symbolically, with no definite period of time, but with the waxing and waning of the life of Dramatic Art from primitive barbaric times to the verge of the living present. The interludes are concerned with ritualistic glimpses of the art of the theatre during three historical periods: -[1] Antiquity, [2] the Middle Ages, and [3] Elizabethan England, The Epilogue is concerned with the creative forces of dramatic art from antiquity to the present, and – by suggestion – with the future of those forces. Setting. The setting of the Masque is not a background of natural landscape as in the case of most outdoor pageants, but is architectural and scenic. Being constructed technically for performance on a large scale, by night only, its basic appeals are to the eye, through expert illusions of light and darkness, architectural and plastic line, the dance, color, and pageantry of group movements; to the ear, through invisible choirs, orchestral and instrumental music. The Masque Proper is enacted by professional actors, who, by their speech, give the motives of the large scale pantomime in the Interludes. The Interludes unfold the theme in dances, pageantry, choruses and pantomime, by hundreds of community performers. In the Epilogue the professional actors and the numerous community performers unite. Corresponding to this Inner Structure is the Outer Structure, which consists of three stages: [1] A modified form of Elizabethan stage, here called the Middle Stage, which is a raised platform, and to which steps lead from the Ground Circle. [2] The Inner Stage, shut off from the Middle Stage by Cloudy Curtains, which, when drawn, reveal the Inner Shakespearean Scenes conceived in the mind of Prospero. [3] The Ground Circle, between the Middle Stage and the Audience, resembling in form the "Orchestra" of a Greek Theatre. Beneath the Middle Stage, and between the steps which lead up to it from the ground-circle is situated at centre, the mouth of Caliban's cell, which thus opens directly upon the Yellow Sands. All of these features of the setting, however, are invisible when the Masque begins, and are only revealed as the lightings of the action disclose them. Synopsis of Masque General Theme. The four principal characters of the Masque, Caliban, Ariel, Miranda, and Prospero, are derived from those of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest." Through these characters the general theme is developed. The theme of the Masque is the slow education of mankind through the influences of co-operative art, that is, of the theatre in its full social scope. This theme of co-operation is expressed earliest in the Masque through the lyric of Ariel's spirits. "Come unto these Yellow Sands and then take hands." It is sounded with central stress, in the chorus of peace, when the Kings clasp hands on the Field of the Cloth of Gold; and with final emphasis in the gathering together of the creative forces of dramatic art in the Epilogue and the final speech of Caliban to the spirit of Shakespeare. Prologue. The scene discloses the idol of Setebos, god of primeval force, half tiger, half toad. High in the tiger jaws of the idol, Ariel – a slim, winged figure,

The invisible powers of Setebos, in deep bass chorus, hail their god. The protesting voices of Ariel's imprisoned spirits are heard, in song, crying out for their freedom. For ages they and Ariel have refused to serve Setebos; therefore, they are held captive. How long must this last? Sycorax appears. She is a gigantic witch or earth spirit, the mother, by Setebos, of a huge brutish son – Caliban. She summons Caliban, who enters, crawling, showing an eel, which he says he has created out of mud. He taunts Ariel with his slavery. Ariel replies that he still dreams of the one who shall come from the heart of the world and set him free. Sycorax tells Caliban to call the priests of Setebos to torment Ariel. Caliban summons then. Lust, Death and War appear, and peform a barbaric ritual in pantomime. During this, Miranda enters. Pitying Ariel, she tells him she and her father Prospero have come to release him. Caliban, returning, looks in naïf wonder at Miranda and woos her. Urged on by Sycorax, he is about to seize her, when a clap of thunder resounds. Amid storm and contending choruses of spirits, Prospero appears. Stilling the tempest with his magic staff, he takes Miranda under his protection. She asks what he will do with Caliban. Prospero answers that he will educate him in his art, and thus ennoble his nature. In this task he asks Ariel to help him. Ariel promises. Prospero releases Ariel and his spirits, who chase Caliban into his cell. Prospero, however, warns Ariel not to torment Caliban, but to teach him. So, he says, by the power of his art, he will transform the cave of Setebos into a temple of Miranda. At this the idol falls crashing and the cave disappears in darkness and thunder. Leading Ariel forward into light, Prospero shows to him the circle of the Yellow Sands – the world of his art in historic time. There, to educate Caliban, he will reveal the pageant of his art in three great ages: those of Egypt, Greece and Rome. "Look!" he says, "even now the priests of Setebos – Lust, Death and War – are conspiring against us. But by means of my art I will defeat them." So he calls aloud, "Pafeant appear!" and the pageant of Egypt enters on the Yellow Sands. Interlude I. First Action: Egyptian Produced under auspices of the Neighbourhood Playhouse of the Henry Street Settlement, and performed by the Neighbourhood Players. Theme Egyptian worshipers of the god Osiris, B. C. 1000, celebrate his resurrection from death by a dance ritual, symbolizing how the seven portions of his rended body unite again at his re-birth. Second Action: Greek. Produced under the auspices of the Pan-Hellenic Union in America. Actors in "Antigone" Theme In the presence of Pericles and Aspasia, a scene from Sophocles "Antigone" and the second chorus of the same are performed in the Theatre of Dionysus, in Athens, B. C. 440. The words of the chorus (translated by Percy MacKaye from Sophocles drama) are as follows: Many are the wonders of time, but the mightiest wonder is man; Man! For he maketh his path with the south wind, over the surges. Down where the storm-white billows Loom to devour him : Yea, and Earth, the immortal, the oldest of gods, The untoilsome, he tameth with toiling horses dark where his turning ploughshare plougheth from age unto age. Birds, O the wild-hearted birds, and the breeds of the savage wood, deep in his woven nets he hath snared, and the broods of the bright sea leadeth he likewise captive – Master of masters, Man! And high on the hills he hath tracked to her wild. The shaggy-maned horse and yoked her in harness: tireless, too, hath his spirit tamed the wild mountain bull. Words, and the wind of great thought, and the mood that mouldeth a state, these hath he mastered, and knoweth to parry the white frost arrow's pitiless barb, and the pouring arrows of purple rain. All, all hath he mastered, and all that may come. He meeteth with cunning and power; but only death hath he failed to master: death is the master of man.

20. Program of the Community Masque Caliban by the Yellow Sands, by Percy Mackaye. 20. Third Action: Roman Theme. The emporer Caligula witnesses a farcical comedy in pantomime, enacted in a street of Rome, A. D. 40. Escorted by the Roman Patricians and Populace, Caligula enters in a chariot. Beside him rides Naevoleia, a mime, with whom he is in love. Naevoleia leaves him to play her part of Omphale in a pantomime, which he is about to witness. As she does so, Caligula expresses his jealousy toward the chief actor of the pantomime, who plays the part of Hercules. Pantomimus then introduces the pantomime. Argument of the Pantomime. Hercules, lured by the nymph Omphale to live with her a women's way of life, becomes terribly bored, rebels, and vows to a statue of the Sphinx to resume his manly exploits. By the help, however, of the satyr Silenus, who makes Hercules drunk, Omphale – in guise of the Sphinx – wins Hercules back and marries him. At this climax of the pantomime, Caligula springs from his chariot, in a rage of jealousy toward the actor Hercules, whom he orders his slaves to flog. They do so and drive him from the scene. Act I. By means of the foregoing interlude, Prospero has been instructing Ariel in his art. He now reminds Ariel that his spirits are to enact three scenes of vision which he will create from this art of Egypt, Greece and Rome, for the education of Caliban. Then, to the music of invisible choirs, he reveals the Theatre, which he has created for Miranda out of the cave of Setebos. So they pass within its curtains. Caliban, then, staring amazed, is hailed by Lust, who tells him to restore the reign of Setebos. But Prospero, returning with Ariel, dressed as Prologue, tells Caliban to obey him and watch the visions he will show. Ariel then introduces the scene (from Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra," ACT III, Scene II) between Cleopatra and Antony, after the battle of Actium. At its climax, as Antony embraces Cleopatra, and the curtains close, Caliban expresses his wonder and fascination for the "snake-bright queen." Showing satisfaction at this sign of awakening imagination in Caliban, Prospero gives to Ariel his magic staff, telling him to continue the tutelage of Caliban. He then departs. Caliban asks for the staff. Ariel, refusing, shows him now a second vision – a scene (from Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida") in which Cresida, watching from the walls of Troy and the Trojan heros pass, greets her lover, Troilus. Troilus, scaling the wall, is about to kiss Cressida, when the curtains close. Caliban, now confident that he has learned Prospero's art, demands the staff again but is refused. Miranda enters with the Muses. Caliban, in childish eagerness, asks to be clothed in bright colors. Miranda orders the Muses to bring splendid garments. They clothe Caliban, who struts with pleasure. Ariel then introduces the third vision (a scene from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"), in which the ghost of Caesar visits Brutus in his tent at midnight. As the ghost disappears, Brutus cries out: "Romans, awake!" while the curtains close. At this Caliban takes up the cry, seizes the staff of Prospero, calls upon Rome and conjures an orgy of Roman decadence, in which Caligula and his followers are about to overcome Ariel, the Muses and Miranda, when they are stopped by the appearance of the blazing cross. Then to the music of a Gregorian choir appears an early Christian shrine of Saint Agnes, whose image shepherds are adoring. Stepping forth the Chief Shepherd unmasks Caligula, revealing him as Lust, and reveals himself as Prospero. A shepherd boy, who is Ariel, leads Lust away to the cell below. Caliban abjectly returns his staff to Prospero, Miranda intercedes for him and Prospero grants Caliban another chance to learn. Prospero then conjures a pageant of his art from the Middle Ages in Germany, France and Italy. So the pageant of Mediaeval Germany enters on the Yellow Sands. 21. Presented by the New York Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration Committee 1916. 21. Greek Interlude. Interlude II. First Action: Germanic produced under auspices of the German University League. Principals – Citizens of Nuremberg Actors in the Pantomime of "Faustus". Theme, on a street of Nuremberg, in their Shrovetide festival, a band of apprentices enact, on a wheeled stage, a pantomime scene from an early version of "Doctor Faustus." Time: Sixteenth Century. Second Action: French-English. Produced under the auspices of the Alliance Francaise. Theme. To celebrate peace between their nations, after long war, Francais I of France and Henry VIII of England meet on the Field of the Cloth of Gold (A. D. 1520) and hold a tournament. Third Action: Spanish-Italian Produced under the auspices of the MacDowell Club and performed by the Washington Square Players. Theme. On the plaza of St. Marks in Venice (A. D. 1630) a troop of improvised comedy actors (of the Commedia dell' Arte) enact before the Doge and the Spanish Ambassador, amid the populace, during a festa, a pantomime scene depicting a love adventure of Don Giovanni. Harlequin (Arlecchino) introduces the pantomime. Argument of the Pantomime. Pantaloon tells Don Giovanni he has a rendezvous with a beautiful young lady (Columbine). Don Giovanni says he has one too and needs a disguise. He persuades Harlequin to change cloaks with him. Harlequin departs. Don Giovanni calls forth Columbine, who at first mistakes him for Harlequin and rejects him, but soon, at his wooing, accepts him. In Don Giovanni's arms she is discovered by her father, the Commander, who attacks Don Giovanni with his sword. Don Giovanni returns the attack and kills him. Act II. Deeply stirred by the Pageants of the Interlude, Caliban calls aloud to the Yellow Sands that he will create noble works and serve Prospero. Death – appearing with a great gray cloak – tells him he shall fail, and warns him to restore Setebos. A dirge of the Powers of Setebos "Gray-gray-gray!" etc., is sung within. Prospero, returning with Ariel, shows momentary discouragement. He is not afraid, he says, of Lust or War, but only of the death of the soul: "Not savage souls, ‘tis dead souls that defeat us." Caliban, fleeing from Death kneels to Prospero asking him to teach him more. Prospero tells Ariel to reveal a glimpse of another "mind distraught, grasping at realms invisible." Ariel then reveals the

22. Program of the Community Masque Caliban by the Yellow Sands, by Percy MacKaye. 22. Fourth Inner Scene (from Shakespeare's "Hamlet"), in which Hamlet first beholds the ghost of his father, and follows it. As the scene closes, Caliban cries out for him not to follow, lest it be Death. He begs Prospero for his magic scroll that he may go and free his father from the pall of Death. Prospero gives him the scroll and Caliban hastens with it to his cell. Miranda returns joyously, surrounded by the Muses and little fauns. These dance before Prospero. Delighted with this, Miranda asks her father to conjure again. Prospero, departing with the fauns, tells Ariel to reveal a vision of Italian lovers. Ariel then discloses the Sixth Inner Scene (from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," "Merchant of Venice" and "Winter's Take"), wherein are seen glimpses of Romeo and Juliet, Lorenzo and Jessica, Florizel and Perdita. As these vanish, a gray dim light descends with drear music. Fearful, Miranda sends Ariel for Prospero. The Muses leave her alone. Swarming gray figures, with gray cloaks and Puritan hats, emerge from Caliban's cell and surround her. Amid these are Caliban and Death, disguised. Recognizing them, Miranda swoons, and is borne away to the cell to the Death Chant: "Gray – gray – gray!" etc. Returning alone, Ariel calls upon the Yellow Sands to restore his Mistress and Master. As he cries aloud "Prospero!" Prospero himself comes, returning with Ariel's Spirits bearing a Maypole and flowers. Thus – to draw Miranda back from her tomb – he conjures forth the merry festival of Elizabethan England. Interlude III Elizabethan England Theme. Celebration of an Elizabethan May Day Festival on the outskirts of an English town. Action 1. Contest between Spring and Winter. 2. Processional Dance through Village. 3. Revels and Amusements. 4. May Pole Procession. 5. Election of May Queen, and May Pole Dance. 6. Hobby Horse and Padstow May Song. 7. Morris Dances. 8. Country Dances and Recessional. Act III. Brought back by these merry rites, Miranda returns, with flowers and song, from Caliban's cell. After her hastens Caliban, who discards and tears his gray cloak, and begs Miranda to clothe him anew. Miranda begs Prospero to consent. Prospero does so, and Ariel introduces the Sixth Inner Scene (from Shakespeare's "As You Like It"), in which Orlando demands from the Foresters of Arden food for old Adam. The spirit of brotherhood in this scene so affects Caliban that after Prospero has withdrawn to rest a while – he woos Miranda on a high spiritual plane. "Love knows not mine or thine, but only ours," she says, and leaves him in friendship. As Caliban gazes after her in exalted mood, the Voice of War tempts him to take her by force. War appears. Caliban fiercely bids him begone. Ariel returns merrily, saying he brings from Prospero a vision of fairy laughter for Caliban. So he reveals the Seventh Inner Scene (from Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor"), in which Falstaff, wearing the horns of Herne the Hunter, is discovered in his lustful intent and tormented by the make-believe fairies, led by Sir Hugh Evans. At this glimpse of human lust, Caliban is terribly moved. He tells Ariel his master is mocking him, and seizes Ariel, when the voice of War calls again: "Miranda shall be thine!" He answers "Yea, mine!" when Miranda herself enters, bringing with the hood of Prospero another vision for Caliban – a vision of War, to test Caliban's nature. Thus Ariel introduces the Eighth Inner Scene (from Shakespeare's "King Henry the Fifth"), in which King Henry exhorts his soldiers. 23 Presented by the New York Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration Committee 1916. 23. Roman Interlude. to fight and scale the walls of Harfleur. This test is the last straw for Caliban's self-control. Calling upon Setebos, he summons War, to dethrone Prospero and capture Miranda. At his summons, War rushes forth with the Powers of Setebos, who overcome the opposing Spirits of Ariel and take captive Ariel and Miranda. Exultant in his victory, Caliban cries in triumph: "Hail, Prospero! Who now is master-artist? Who wieldeth now the world?" To which Prospero answers: "Hail, Caliban! They will and War may break, but cannot build the world: and one, who bore us all within her womb, still lives to staunch our wounds with her immortal healing." "Where?" asks Caliban. And pointing toward the great circle, Prospero replies: Yonder on the Yellow Sands! She rises now and calls across the tides of fleeting change. My art that builds the beauty of the world! Epilogue. Where Propsero points, the Spirit of Time rises from the altar on the Yellow Sands. Calling upon the Children of Men, she says, though their lives are like seabirds driven by the tempest, yet from her founts of life, the fecundity of love outlives and overcomes the powers of destruction. "So out of War uplooms unconquered Art: Blind forces rage, but Masters rise to mould them! Soldiers and kings depart; Time's artists – still behold them." As the Spirit of Time ceases to speak, the light passes to the entrances of the ground circle, where now enters the final Pageant of the great Theatres of the World – from the ancient Theatre of Dionysus to the Comedie Francaise. Led by standard bearers with distinctive banners, all of the Participants of the Interludes return in national groups of the Art of the Theatre, and range themselves beneath and before Prospero.

24. Program of the Community Masque Caliban by the Yellow Sands, by Percy MacKaye. 24. During this processional, War and his hosts disappear in darkness. Ranged in a vast ensemble of varied color the pageanrts of Art are massed on the Yellow Sands and the steps to the stage. There, where Prospero, Ariel and Miranda are grouped at the centre, Caliban comes forth. He calls to the spirit of the Yellow Sands that he has failed, and botched all his high desires. But he says: "Yet I yearn to build, to be thine Artist and ‘stablish this thine Earth among the stars beautiful." So, turning where the three are grouped, he cries: "O bright beings, help me still! More visions – visions, Master!" and Prospero answers: "Ask of him whose visions I have used to raise thy mind out of its muddy baseness unto manhood: his spirit only among mortals hath the image and the stature of mine own: He is himself the symbol of mine art. Behold him where he comes my Shakespeare!" The Spirit of Shakespeare then appears, as the production of the Masque will disclose, and speaks – in his own immortal words – the speech from "The Tempest," which ends: "We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." "As dreams are made on!" Caliban murmurs, as he stands for a moment, pensive. Then, turning to the assembled Pageant and Spectators, he cries: " Yea, then, brothers – artists. You, you, my fellow dreamers in the dark, we which are one, you millions that are me, like as our dreams shall we ourselves become! Lo, now, our world is wrack'd, night rolleth towards us, yet we will drive the night back with our dreams. My brothers, bow with me! To yonder Spirit bow down, bow down, and on this bed of clay. Together let us dream another world beyond the tempest's pall – a strong, new world builded with brothers' hands. Together, together, raise now to him our dreams!" Amid the assembled thousands, who kneel down with him, Caliban kneels on the earth. There, with all the others, he raises his arm towards Shakespeare with a great gesture of aspiration, while the invisible choirs burst into song: "Glory and serenity, Splerdor of desire kindle where the dreams of Man lift their master's lyre. Dreams of the world! – behold. How they glister the night with their cloth of gold. Where the spirits dance on the yellow sands and the children of earth clasp hands!" At this close of the Masque, the orchestral accompaniment continues, and passes into the strains of the national anthem, in which all the assembled Pageant, Participants and the Spectators in the audience join. 25. Presented by the New York Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration Committee 1916. The Music of Caliban by Arthur Farwell. The music of "Caliban" has been composed by Arthur Farwell, his aim in the present instance is to carry out in the musical aspects of the drama what he conceives to have been the poet's intention in the poem itself, namely, to present living and timely ideas and meanings. He has thus been nowise concerned with arriving at historical musical values, except in the "Interludes," which have a historical character. Several characteristic themes have been employed, notably those of Prospero (1) and Setebos (2). The master-soul, Prospero, and the primitive god Setebos represent opposing principles. Prospero commands the powers of both the higher and lower spheres; his motive is a trumpet call which descends an octave and returns. It is in harmony with the higher spheres and in dissonance with the lower. The Setebos motive is the opposite – in harmony with the lower, in dissonance with the higher spheres. Caliban's theme (3) is uncouth, boisterous and passionate. In extended form it accompanies his first entrance, and is treated in a playful manner when Caliban is dressed by the Muses. Miranda has a theme (4) of flowing and graceful character, heard softly through Ariel's speech during which he first descries her. "Come into these Yellow Sands," a setting of the poem from "The Tempest," is representative of the freedom of Ariel and his spirits. It is first sung by them while they are still imprisoned in the "belly of Setebos," but on this occasion is drowned out by the roaring of Setebos spirits. The melody occurs at various times throughout the action. A dirge (7) of pallid and lugubrious character accompanies the coming of the puritanical aspects of the epoch standing between the Renaissance and the present time. It characterizes "Death" one of the priests of Setebos. Compositions of large dimensions in the Masque are the "Roman Orgy and Visions of the Cross" at the end of Act I, and "War," at the end of Act III, both of which introduce "Setebos" choruses. For the Historical Interludes the composer has in some instances composed music, as in the case of the Greek chorus, "Many are the wonders of time" but in general has drawn it from various sources and epochs. There are upwards of one hundred scores, great and small, in the drama.
