Exuberant Voices

Pre-concert talk @3:30 PM

Martinů’s Three Madrigals are a complex blend of the English madrigals and energetic Bohemian and Moravian folk music that he loved. Beethoven’s Cello Sonata, written after a three-year hiatus from composition, marked a radical stylistic departure from his earlier works and ushered in his late style. Saint- Saëns’ Quartet is rhythmically dynamic, jaunty in tone, energetic, and exuberant.
