"What music it is! ...[to] make this unknown, or unapproachable, music available to everyone... by trying through my orchestra to express my view of it."
Webern's explanation of why he made his orchestration is a reminder of how little of Bach's music was generally known less than a century ago. Berg's last completed work is an emotion-packed farewell to the daughter of a friend, who died of polio. From the opening folksong depicting the innocent girl, to the final pages, with an angelic violin soaring above a consoling Bach chorale melody in the orchestra, it is an unforgettable piece. The Eroica Symphony expanded symphonic form and musical language at a stroke. The emotional heart of the piece is the famous funeral march, and it ends with a set of variations on a simple tune that overflows with musical imagination.
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is Anvil Arts' Orchestra in Residence.
