SAT., OCT. 25, 2008, 8 PM The Genius of Haydn Woodside United Methodist Church Overture to La Fedeltá Premiata ("Fidelity's Reward") Symphony No. 52 in C minor Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major Stanley Curtis, keyed trumpet Symphony No. 92 in G Major "Oxford"
|
A festive program exploring a wide range of works by Haydn. Enjoy the enticing call of horns in the lesser-known but delightful opera overture to "Fidelity's Reward", a tribute to Diana, goddess of the hunt. Experience Haydn's middle period sturm und drang in the restless and passionate Symphony No. 52. Hear the famed Trumpet Concerto, featuring soloist Stanley Curtis performing on a unique and rarely heard keyed trumpet, a replica of the instrument for which the piece was intended. And we'll always have Paris, as the program concludes with the grand, late Symphony No. 92 written for the City of Lights, but perhaps better known as the work Haydn conducted at the 1791 ceremony at which he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Oxford University. With intimate, grand and profound works, this program, as a prelude to the important 200th anniversary of the composer's death, offers an excellent opportunity to explore full genius of Franz Joseph Haydn. |
