Summary of The Farewell Symphony
Includes a full-length CD recorded by the Orchestra of St. Luke's, conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras.History and music come alive!
Prince Nicholas isn't easy to work for--just ask composer Joseph Haydn. When the prince isn't demanding chamber music, operas, and ballets to entertain his guests, he wants dance music for balls and dinner music with his meals. Haydn and the other musicians are kept quite busy at the prince's summer estate in Hungary. As summer fades into autumn, however, the musicians grow increasingly homesick. When Haydn mentions the musicians' distress, the prince threatens to fire the entire orchestra! How will the talented composer convince the mighty prince that it's time to bid farewell to the summer palace?
Memorable characters, carefully researched text, and expressive illustrations tell the story behind Haydn's famous Symphony #45.
