MusicaNova Orchestra Performs Springtime With Haydn For Palm Sunday, April 10
The concert is free with a recommended donation of $15.
MusicaNova Orchestra celebrates Palm Sunday and spring with three works by Joseph Haydn and an encore of a piece written for the orchestra by one of the country's most exciting young composers, Quinn Mason.
SPRINGTIME WITH HAYDN AND MASON will be held April 10 at 3 pm at Mountain View Presbyterian Church, 3421 N. Hayden Road in Scottsdale. The concert is free with a recommended donation of $15.
Symphony no. 26 La Lamentatione contains one of Haydn's best openings, a restless flurry of strings that ushered in Haydn's interest in the "Sturm and Drang" aesthetic of emotional unrest.
No. 30 Alleluia is so named because of its use of a Gregorian "alleluia" motif in the first movement.
No. 84 In Nomine comes from Haydn's time in Paris. He makes excellent use of the winds, creating a superb, textured sound.
Quinn Mason's Svítání was written for MusicaNova's May 2021 concert. The 25-year old composer explains that "Svítání is a Czech word that means 'sunrise' or 'dawn.' The overall message of this composition is rebirth and renewal, which can relate to the title as the birth of a new day or time. With Svítáni, we are leaving an old chapter and beginning a new, fresh one - one that will hopefully lead us to better days ahead."
