Heroic Music for Mother's Day
May 11, 2013
Manchester-Essex High School Auditorium, 8 pm
Manchester-by-the-Sea

What can be more thrilling than heroic music? Beethoven’s Symphony ? "Eroica” (or “heroic” in Italian) was the first of his three great so-called heroic symphonies. Beethoven initially dedicated it to Napoleon but then rescinded the dedication when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor.

Tchaikosvsky's orchestral Serenade is infintely romantic: he conceived it as an homage to Mozart, whom he idolized, and he declared it to be written "from the heart". It was an instant succeess at its premiere in 1880 and has remained so ever since.

The Program

TCHAIKOVSKY Serenade for Strings

BEETHOVEN Symphony ? 3 “Eroica”
