program notes...
Hard to believe both these pieces were written in the same year — Dvorak an old man, Ives just starting out. So different, yet oddly connected. Anyone who grew up singing hymns in church will recognize all kinds of tunes in the Ives and Myles pointed out the other day in rehearsal that the slow movement of the Dvorak, written after he returned home from his long stay in the US, sounds remarkably like the old hymn, "Shall We Gather By The River."

Sonata Allegro Form: Boy Meets Girl
cusrtis library
Winter Wisdom Series
Midcoast Senior College
program notes...
After spending a decade writing comic operettas for the aristocracy, Franz Joseph Haydn decided to apply what he had learned in the theater to writing instrumental concert music. Haydn, "the father of the string quartet", pioneered the Sonata Allegro form for instrumental music. Understanding this form is essential to appreciating what we today call "Classical Music." Using the theme "boy meets girl," and drawing on examples from string quartet literature, the DSQ will present a delightful lecture-performance illustrating the evolution of this famous musical art form.
