Odes to music!
Programme
- Anton Bruckner Zwei Aequale
- Frank Martin Ode à la musique
- Ralph Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music
- Georg Friedrich Handel Ode for St. Cecilia's Day
This concert with the Groot Omroepkoor, the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and three soloists conducted by Marcus Creed is one big paean to the music itself. Swiss-Dutch composer Frank Martin used a text by his medieval colleague Guillaume de Machaut. Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote a musical salute to conductor Sir Henry Wood. And Georg Friedrich Handel colorfully and exuberantly honored the patron saint of music, Sinte Caecilia.
