Late Copland
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Written in 1967, Aaron Copland's "Inscape" was his last major orchestral work. Over the course of his musical development, Copland became increasingly intrigued by the twelve-tone school of composition, often in stark contrast to his works written in a popular style. "Inscape" completed Copland's journey into serialism, standing on its own as a challenging, exhilarating work of the modern age.
Also on the program this evening, we will feature two less familiar Scandinavian composers, Erkki Melartin of Finland and Per Norgaard of Denmark. In addition, the night's music will include a favorite piano sonata by Mozart, short pieces by Ernesto Lecuona and Heitor Villa-Lobos, and concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and Sir John Barbirolli.
