“Suddenly a furious Alpine gale dashes down into the hall, tearing at the curtains, extinguishing the lights; outside the squall whistles shrilly, the lightning cuts the blackness of the clouds, casting sinister gleams on the faces of the dumb and startled assembly. “Alone, amid the howls of the tempest, Berlioz stands, wrapped in flashes of vivid green--the spirit of symphony--colossal musician, whose apotheosis is heralded by Nature with her wildest, grandest music.” That was the end. On Monday morning, the 8th March 1869, Hector Berlioz died. His funeral took place on the following Thursday at the Church of the Trinity. The Institute sent a deputation, the band of the National Guard played selections from his _Funeral Symphony_; on the coffin lay wreaths from the St Cecilia Society, from the youths of Hungary, from the Russian nobles, and from the town of Grenoble. He was dead--the atonement began. INDEX _Africaine, L’_, 277. _Alcestis_, 26, 231, 237, 285, 293. Alexandre, 249, 292. Aleyrac, d’, 18. Alizard, 52. Allard, 140. Ambros, Dr, 199. Amussat, 17, 192.
