Summer Concert – 5th July 2008
Following hard on the success of our last venture - “A Night at The Opera” - the Sinfonia players are now preparing for their summer concert. This will be a wide-ranging mix of “classic” and Classical Beethoven, the lush, Romanticism of Tchaikovsky and the quintessentially English music of Vaughan-Williams.
The “English Folk Song Suite” by Ralph Vaughan-Williams was written in response to his recognition that English folk tunes, which had made such an important contribution to the musical fabric of this country, were in danger of being lost for ever as life and living changed during the 20th Century.
This popular Suite was one outcome of his work.
Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings (in C major, Op. 48), was premièred in 1880. It has become a classic in the string orchestra’s repertoire and remains one of the late Romantic era's most definitive compositions. In his score, Tchaikovsky supposedly wrote, "The larger the string orchestra, the better will the composer's desires be fulfilled."
Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony (No. 6 in F) has similarly become one of the best-known and loved symphonies of the Classical era. It breaks the tradition of that era, however, by being written in five (rather than four) movements, each one headed with a description of the theme being conveyed by the music.
There is no doubt that this event will prove a popular one and will benefit from being staged in the warm accoustic of Holy Trinity Parish Church.
Tickets – from The Heritage Centre and members – will e available from mid-May.
