Sota vit va. vin BB 22 Note From measure 64, page 11, through measure 118, page 28, the J for winds, brass, pianos and drums grows gradually faster, but the J for the string orchestra keeps the same tempo throughout. The strings play louder with the rest of the orchestra to measure 116—that is, until the rest of the orchestra reaches measure 118. Here the strings will decrescendo down to ppp and before the rest of the orchestra has stop- ped playing the chord in measure 118. The strings finish thelr ten-measure phrasa, wherever they may be in it, when the rest of the orchestra stops playing measure 118, and then the strings go to measure 119 and the piece finishes as indicated. From measure 64 on, until the rest of the orchestra has played measure 118, the relation of the string orchestra's measures to those of the other instruments need not and cannot be written down exactly, as the gradual accelerando of all but the strings cannot be played in precisely the same tempi each time. This piece purports to be a picture-in-sounds of the sounds of nature and of hap- penings that men would hear some thirty or so years ago (before the combustion engine and radio monopolized the earth and air), when sitting on a bench in Central Park on a hot summer night. The strings represent the night sounds and silent dark- ness—interrupted by sounds [the rest of the orchestra] from the Casino over the pond—of street singers coming up from the Circle singing, in spots, the tunes of those days—of some “night owls” from Healy's whistling the latest or the Freshman March—the “occasional elevated”. a street parade, or a “break-down” in the dis- tance—ot newsboys crying “uxtries"—of pianolas having a ragtime war in the apartment house “over the garden wall”, a street car and a street band join in the chorus—a fire engine, a cab horse runs away, lands “over the fence and out”, the wayfarers shout—again the darkness is heard—an echo over the pond—and we walk home. This piece was first entitled, “A Contemplation of Nothing Serious” or “Central Park in the Dark in ‘The Good Old Summer Time’.” [It was first conceived as the second of two companion pieces, the first being “A Contemplation of a Serious Matter” or “The Unanswered Perenniaf Question”.] Charles E.
