John Adams: Harmonium

蜜芽传媒 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales
Crouch End Festival Chorus
Ryan Bancroft (conductor)

In the first of two consecutive concerts this week, the 蜜芽传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft present an all-American Prom. Two poems by Emily Dickinson provide the starting point for Harmonium, one of John Adams鈥檚 most powerful works for chorus and orchestra. Propulsive, motoric urgency gives way briefly to blissful waves of sound, before a blazing conclusion. Jazz runs through the veins of Copland鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto, commissioned by 鈥楰ing of Swing鈥� Benny Goodman and performed here with soloist Annelien Van Wauwe. The concert opens with a world premiere from Los Angeles-based composer Derrick Skye, whose music has been described as 鈥榙eliciously head-spinning鈥�.
