Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Columbian Ode The Columbian Ode was written at the request of the Joint Committee on Ceremonies of the World´s Columbian Exposition, accepted by that honorable body, and delivered on the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, October 21, 1892, before an audience of more than one hundred thousand persons, during the dedicatory ceremonies in the building for Manufactures and Liberal Arts. By authority of the Committee, Mr. Theodore Thomas, Director of Music, requested Prof. George W. Chadwick, of Boston, to set to music the lyric passages. Prof. Chadwick admirably fulfilled the obligation. The two songs, commencing, "Over the wide unknown," and "Columbia! men beheld thee rise," and the passage of eight lines, commencing, "Lo! clan on clan, The embattled nations gather to be one," - a passage which the composer selected for his finale, - were given by a chorus of five thousand voices, to the accompaniment of a great orchestra and military bands.
