year lunch lly ANNE McGlNN There have been times in his tory most notably during the past century when it was the custom of families to arrange marri ages with an objective of expert icncy in mind rather than any consummation of love The poor bride in themore classic of the cases had little if anything to say on the matter and any objections made by her were always very swiftly and corn pletcly overruled Sir Walter Scott of the roman tic 1pcn and vividw imagination once immortallrcd such deplor ahle situation in his novel The Bride of Lammcrmoor LucyAshton young and bean tiful Scottish girl has been in the care of her brother Henry since the death of her parents Henry has not been at all too careful of the family fortunes and finally desperate as he faces their inevit able final depletion decides to marry off his sister to 3a wealthy neighbor Sir Arthur Bucklaw MISS ANNE McGlNN The prospective union of the two houses would benefit Henry no end As in the case in many similar romantic tales there is at the some time as all this feud going on between Henry the owner of Lammcrmoor Castle and Sir Ed gar the master of nearby Ravens wood alson castle The whole point of the tale lies in the fact that Lucy unbcknown to her wicked brother Henryhas been meeting sir Edgar secretly in the woods and is madly in love with him Thus when Henrynnnounccslo Lucy his intentions regarding forthcoming union with Bucklaw the story takes tragic turn Now all this had very deep effect upon certain Italian coin poser noted ior his beautiful op CHIS Thlrtwu Gaetaae Doniutll He look Scotts

has leitthe country in pursuit of am other girl At thciwcdding torches burn brightly on thewalis of the old castle The guests are assembled in glittering jewels Music is play mg and Lucy arrayed in bridal splendor but with head bowed in grief signs the marriage contract At the height of this dramatic scene Edgar enter lie thinks Lucy has been unfaithful to him and draws his sword intent upon slaying Bucklaw it is at this point when the famous sextet is sung This consists of Edgar tenor Lucy soprano Henry baritone Al thc maidtsoprano Ralmon do or BidethcABent the chaplain of anmermoor bass and Buck law the new husband tenor They all give vent to different emotion Edgar is driven from the castle and Lucy is removed upstairs by her husband Shortly afterwards the guests draw back in horror Slowly down thegrcat staircase comes Lucy her long rhlonde hair disheveled blood spattering the white satin of her wedding dress In her hand she carries dag ger Her voice reaching phen omenal high notes and trills she sings the famous imad scene Driven out of her mind by love and grief she has stabbed Buck iaw to death At the foot of the stairs she lapses dead When Edgar learns death he stabs
