SALT Premieres Tomorrow From Harvard Music Association and Emmanuel Music
The company have built a program around Beethoven's rarely played Scottish and Irish folksongs set to piano trio accompaniment.
To celebrate the Beethoven year without re-roasting chestnuts, Harvard Music Association and Emmanuel Music have built a program around the master's rarely played Scottish and Irish folksongs set to piano trio accompaniment.
These take the domestic sometimes to majestic heights, but not so majestic to warrant 90 minutes thereof. Thus, the companies have added the final presto movement of the opus one number one piano trio and the immortal song cycle, An die ferne Geliebte.
The HMA Commissions Committee and its chair Scott Wheeler commissioned Julian Grant for a companion piece. His "Salt" for SATB and piano trio both complements and contrasts with the Beethoven.
