A Night For Waltzing
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We'll dance the night away with waltzes by Philip Glass, Frederick Chopin, Dave Brubeck, and Johannes Brahms. Also, Ravi Shankar's Western-style version of an Indian raga in "L'Aube Enchantée" (The Enchanted Dawn).
The later hours feature suites by two very different composers: The Stockholm Sinfonietta perform Lars-Erik Larsson's "Pastorale" Suite, followed by the "Suite Andaluza" of Celedonio Romero (patriarch of the Romero family of guitarists). Also, you may be familiar with Carlf Orff's famous "Carmina Burana" — but did you know that piece is actually part of a musical triptych? We'll hear one of the other three in the set, Orff's "Catulli Carmina," a cantata based on the 2100-year-old writings of the Roman poet Catullus.
