January 1, 1948. The speaking parts were taken by Vera Zorina and Raymond
Gerome, and the singing parts by Nadine Connor, Jarmila Novotna, Enid Szantho,
Joseph Laderoute and Lorenzo Alvary. The Westminster Choir assisted.
The score requires two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, B-flat, E-flat and bass
clarinets, three alto saxophones, three bassoons and contra-bassoon, three trumpets
and small trumpet in D, three trombones and bass trombone (or tuba) two pianos,

the Mission Church, Rodolphe Pepin, director, will also assist. A child's voice (solo)
will be sung by Robert Irwin.
The work is entitled "Dramatic Oratorio," but the music has been performed
as a "mimodrame," with stage sets and costumes. At the performance in Brussels, in
1946, it was presented on two separate stages, while Ida Rubinstein, as Jeanne,
was seen fastened to the stake throughout, the cords barely enabling her to make
the sign of the cross.*

Jeanne asks simply, "the priests whom I venerated, the people whom

VI.
The
Kings, or
the Invention of the Card Game
Three of the monarchs are the King of France, King of England,
and the Duke of Burgundy. Their Queens are Her Majesty Ignorance,
Her Majesty Pride, and Her Majesty Avarice. The fourth King is
Death, and his spouse, Her Majesty Lust. The Kings change places,
but the Queens do not — they are "always there." The Jacks, who are
dukes, enter, and control the game, which, of course, is the game of
war with England, in which Burgundy has joined with the English,
and sold the Maid into their sinister hands. Even the losers fill their
pockets with money. Guillaume de Flavy, bidding the rest goodnight,
casually forfeits Jeanne d'Arc to even his score.

Catherine and Marguerite
Jeanne hears bells tolling in the night, "inviting good souls to pray
for Jeanne d'Arc," and their sound brings back to her the beloved
voices of her Saints Catherine and Marguerite. She remembers their
insignia on the "pretty blue and white banner" she carried in battle.
She is oblivious of the continuing murmured imprecations: "Comburatur igne," as they urge her to go to the gentle King of France,
take the bridle of his horse, and lead him back to the forefront of his
people.

PHONOGRAPH RECORDS
RARE IMPORTS
By arrangement with the International Records Agency of
York, we are introducing to musical Boston a singularly
enticing stock of fine classical records from many countries,
New
including Australia, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Eire, Finland,
France, Great Britain, Italy, Sweden and the U.S.S.R.
All these are in addition to classical records of many
American brands which have hitherto been little more than
names to collectors outside of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles. Many Bostonians interested in
religious music will find in this collection recordings no
longer manufactured. These and many other valuable items
in this collection are rare and irreplaceable.
