For several years now the Classics a Day team has come up with a new theme for each month. But sometimes we all need a break. Plus, none of the suggested themes seemed particularly inspired. So this month there’s no theme.
If I could only recommend one Bax composition for someone to listen to, this would be it.
Mashups started much earlier than you think. Ives put several well-known American tunes into the blender and pureed them for this 1897 classic.
Dvorak wrote this symphony for a competition contest. It didn’t win. I’ve always wondered whose symphony did win, and what it sounds like.
If I had my way, orchestras would give Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 a rest and program Price’s symphonies instead. Just for a year or so. That might be enough to get these into the repertoire. (no disrepect to Dvorak intended)
Yes, I (like many others) first fell in love with Hovhaness’ music because of his Symphony No. 2. But over time, I’ve come to like this symphony even more.
