IN THE BEGINNING - TWO REVOLUTIONARIES SPEAK

at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts
19805 W. Capitol Dr. (198th and Capitol), Brookfield, WI

 
 
 

Twentieth-century American composer Aaron Copland and 18th-century Austrian composer Franz Josef Haydn both revolutionized the music of their time, creating compositional styles that radically changed the course of music. Some of their most beautiful works were initially written in intimate, chamber settings in response to specific situations, such as the limitations of the orchestra pit, or the exigencies of war. Whether using unaccompanied voices for In the Beginning, or 13 instruments for the original version of Appalachian Spring, Copland melded modern, open harmonic structure with American folksong, evoking the vast American landscape. Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass was written with spare orchestration necessitated by war, and demonstrates that sometimes, less truly is more.
