Discovery Orchestra Chat 62 – Text Painting
Composers drive home the meaning of words by composing appropriate musical settings.
Do you like being deceived? Well, composers use deceptive cadences to surprise the music listener!
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed The Firebird concert last Sunday! Not being very familiar with Stravinsky’s music, I guess I expected a lot of atonal sounds, but found the work exciting and challenging – aided greatly by the educational exercises Maestro Maull had us do. It was also great to see so many young people there – that is wonderful outreach you offer. Best wishes for another great season!
