e March ofthe priests and to accompany Sarastro, the highpriest, in The Magic Flute. Beethoven gave the trombones much to do in theNinth Symphony, where they begin in the Trio of theScherzo.

If we do not tryto listen for them we shall not be able to distinguishthem from the other bass instruments of the Orchestra. The tone of the bass tuba might be described aspartaking of both the trombone and the organ. Manyof the beautiful effects in Wagners Nibelungen Ringare due to this great tuba of five cylinders. Wagneruses it to describe the deep, dark caverns under theRhine and to sugges
