le of Marias father, the Baron von Schonau. Werner and Maria fall in love with each other, but it has already been planned that the young girl shall marry Damian. the son of the Count of Wildenstein, who is expected at the castle shortly. The Countess surprises Werner making love to Maria, and the Baron angrily orders the bugler from the castle. As Werner is departing, the Hauenstein peasants rebel against the Baron and attack the castle. The trumpeter, gathering the besieged forces to-gether, succeeds in driving off the assailants. In the mean-time, Damian and his father have arrived, and during the con-flict the young man shows himself to be a coward. Count Wildenstein happily recognizes Werner as his long lost son, who had been stolen as a child by gypsies, and the Baron, reconciled, gives the Trumpeter of Sacfangen his daughter Maria for a bride. A record of the best known air from this popular German opera has been made by Mr. Goritz. Es hat nicht sollen sein (It Was NotSo to Be)
