I only hope that Arlt will do one tenth as well." It proved that Arlt did fully six tenths as well, and was applauded to the echo. To the undiscerning ear, he won even more than his share of applause; but Beatrix, her nerves still tense from The Erl-King, felt a difference in the quality of the welcome to the two musicians.
At the height rings out the main tune of yore, transformed in triumphant majesty. The musical design embraces various phases. First is the clear rhythmic sense of the ride. We think of other instances like Schubert's "Erl-King" or the ghostly ride in Raff's "Lenore" Symphony. The degree of vivid description must vary, not only with the composer, but with the hearer.
We met, six or eight of us, at the home of two of these young women, a factory boarding-house, in a neat little parlor which contained a piano. The professor was a music-teacher also, and he sometimes brought his guitar, and let us finish our recitation with a concert. More frequently he gave us the songs of Deutschland that we begged for. He sang the "Erl-King" in his own tongue admirably.
Before returning to America, Lachmund was for a time connected with the opera at Cologne. The Boston Colony. To the composer potentially a writer of grand operas, but barred out by the absolute lack of opening here, the dramatic ballad should offer an attractive form. Such works as Schubert's "Erl-King" show what can be done. Henry Holden Huss has made some interesting experiments, and Fred.
Why shrinks he with fear? 'Oh Father, my Father! the Erl-King is near! The Erl-King with his crown and his beard long and white! 'Oh! your eyes are deceived by the vapours of night! "'I love thee, I dote on thy face so divine! I must and will have thee, and force makes thee mine! 'My Father! My Father! Oh hold me now fast! He pulls me, he hurts, and will have me at last!"
It was so uncanny and silent and strange that Carmel was far more frightened than she had felt before. Old fairy tales of her childhood crowded into her mind, memories of phantoms and ghosts and goblins, the legends of Undine and the water sprites, the ballad of the Erl-King in the haunted forest. She had learnt the poem once, and she found herself repeating the words: "'Why trembles my darling?
The hand of man has dared to check the will of one that up to now has known no curb save those the forest gods imposed. For an instant the waters, taken aback by this strange audacity, hold themselves in leash. Then, like erl-king in the German legends, they broaden out to engulf their opponent. In vain they surge with crescent surface against the barrier of stone.
"Then I will call him whatever Mr. Hargrove likes best." As she spoke Regina nestled her fingers into the pastor's hand, and he smiled down into her radiant face. "My dear child, exercise your own preference. Have you no choice?" "None." "Suppose you name him 'Erl-King' in compliment to Mr. Palma?" "I should never dare to call him that; it would seem impertinent.
I should like to have met Wagner and have said to him, "My dear Richard, this disparaging tone is not good enough: where did you get the introduction to 'The Valkyrie'? didn't that long tremolo D and the figure in the bass both come out of 'The Erl-king'? has your Spear theme nothing in common with the last line but one of 'The Wanderer'? or if it is only the instrumental music you object to did you learn nothing for the third act of 'The Valkyrie' from the working-out of the Unfinished Symphony? did you know that Schubert had used your Mime theme in a quartet before you? do you know that I could mention a hundred things you borrowed from Schubert?
For some days he restrained his curiosity, but one evening, as they were sitting before the fire in the hall listening to the storm, and just after he had told her the story of the erl-king, he took her on his knee and asked her gently if she would not tell him what had been in her thoughts when he had drawn her brilliant future. Again her face turned gray, and she dropped her eyes.
