Dream Play

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

Composer, teacher, and theorist Per Nørgård has led the charge for contemporary music in his native Denmark for nearly half a century. We hear his miniature orchestral tone poem "Dream Play," which illustrates a "tournament" where instead of crushing each other, participants celebrate their diversity.

Other music heard tonight includes:

Roberto Sierra / "Cinco bocetos"
Tison Street / Adagio in E-flat for Oboe and String Quintet
Seymour Shifrin / Cello Sonata
Tang Jianping / Pipa Concerto, "Chun Qiu"
Osvaldo Golijov / "Three Songs"
Thomas Tallis / "Spem in alium"
