The final work in Bryn Athyn Orchestra's spring program is the
idyllic 6th symphony. Here is what Beethoven himself said about the work: Pastoral Symphony, more an expression of
feeling than painting.
1st piece: pleasant feelings which awaken in men on arriving
in the countryside.
2d piece: scene by
the brook.
3d piece: merry gathering of country people, interrupted by 4th
piece: thunder and storm, into which breaks
5th piece: salutary feelings, with thanks to the Deity.
Either you are familiar with this enchanting work and love
it already, or you should come and hear it so it can become one of your top
ten!
Hope to see you ALL on May 11 at 3 pm at the Mitchell
Performing Arts Center.
