a world
of romance
A world of Romanticism awaits in this glorious program, opening with a pair of reflective works written a century apart. Amy Beach’s Romance was composed for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, which devoted a portion of its show to women composers. Jamaican-born Eleanor Alberga describes her Lullaby as “a kind of acknowledgement of my European heritage and a realization that two World Wars are part of my history also.” The program concludes with Dvorák’s sunny, spontaneous String Sextet, about which one of his contemporaries wrote, “God himself must have been walking the Czech Lands when his humble servant bequeathed to us a work of such excellence and sanctity.”
PROGRAM:
Amy Beach | Romance
Eleanor Alberga | No-Man’s-Land Lullaby
Johannes Brahms | Clarinet (Viola) Trio, Op. 114
Antonín Dvorák | String Sextet
