COPLAND: Appalachian Spring
CLINTON: The Rose of Sonora (Midwest Premiere)
Holly Mulcahy, violin
BARBER: Symphony No. 1
Three American composers open our season. The music from Copland’s landmark ballet, “Appalachian Spring” is paired with Samuel Barber’s short but dramatic First Symphony. And the mid-west premiere of a new violin concerto, “The Rose of Sonora” promises to charm with its western setting and adventurous plot.
"Rose of Senora" is Spaghetti Western of a concerto.
Copland's music is the sound of the "American West." His music was used in the $42 million advertising campaign "Beef. It's What's for Dinner".
Samuel Barber wrote the famous "Adagio for Strings" used in lots of movies, but he wrote this symphony when he was only 26 years old.
