Three Military Marches Wellington's Victory Symphony #3, Eroica
|
The 2011-12 season opens with the genius of Beethoven’s art, both high and low. The Fifth Connecticut Regiment will bring Napoleon’s historic battle at Waterloo to life with a military reenactment set to Beethoven’s Wellington’s Victory. In fact, Beethoven’s score includes specific directions coordinating the music with the soldiers, flags and field drums of the reenactment. At the other end of Beethoven’s legacy is the seminal Third Symphony, “Eroica” – a landmark work that initiated the age of large scale orchestral works of profound emotional depth and structural complexity.
