R. Strauss’s Ein<br />

Heldenleben (4/15/15)<br />

Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s<br />

Life) is a sumptuously scored<br />

tone poem that tells the story<br />

of a great man’s life. While<br />

Strauss never called the work<br />

autobiographical, passages in it<br />

allude to his great tone poems<br />

Also sprach Zarathustra and<br />

Don Juan. Its most famous<br />

episode depicts the hero’s<br />

battle with his critics, set to<br />

bravura music that influenced<br />

Hollywood composers from<br />

Korngold to John Williams.<br />

Critics responded harshly to<br />

the work at its premiere, but<br />

Ein Heldenleben has become a<br />

repertoire classic.<br />

Have you heard?<br />

Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons (11/18/14)<br />

In his day, Vivaldi, an ordained cleric, was known as the<br />

“Red Priest” because of his striking red hair. But it’s his violin<br />

virtuosity and the hundreds of concertos he composed for<br />

the instrument that have earned him his place in music history.<br />

The Four Seasons, his most beloved work, is a masterful<br />

example of Baroque program music in which the composer<br />

paints vivid depictions of bird song, bagpipes, thunderstorms,<br />

and drunken peasants.<br />
