Timbre through Time: Cowbells, coconut shells, a duck call and a referee’s whistle – these are just a few instruments called for in James MacMillan’s Britannia, composed in 1994. But why does the orchestra shrink so much for the romantic-era violin concerto of Felix Mendelssohn and classical-era Symphony No. 104 of Haydn? The art of orchestration is all about which instruments play and when. We’ll learn about the evolution of the orchestra’s instruments and how and why it has expanded to include so many new colors.
Dive into classical music with the Grand Teton Music Festival! Suitable for interested novices and seasoned fans alike, this adult education group will explore the history, theory and stories behind epic classical works each week. Led by Stoner Family Education Curator Meaghan Heinrich, prepare for the coming weekend’s Festival Orchestra concerts or simply join the discussion in the Classical Music Listening Club.
