Zumwalt will sing "Tho Erl-KIng,"
acnuuervs raastcrpioco or song,
which Is nearly always Included In
a concert program of Gadikl and
Xordlca.
Tbu legend Is, that tho Erl-KIng
was monarch of a forest folk who
woro like human beings, except that
they had no souls. Tho only way a
iouI was to bu secured was by steal
ing that of a young child, which
would mean the child's death.
Tho song represents a father riding
by night In hastu thro' tho forest,
holding his little son Woro him. The
child In terror sees tho Erl-KIng pur
suing them, and It la In vain that the
father tries to reassure him, telling
him It Is only fancy that he sees the
dreaded creature, and hears his se
ductive voice calling him. In the
very difficult accompaniment It
heard tho galloping of horses, and
tho walling of the wind, ull going to
tho perfecting of a wonderful drama.
The Shakespeare quartet, compos
ed of pupils of Mr. Zumwalt, and
under her direction, needs no further
