Address by Geoffrey Hoyland
Serenade in D, Op. 11 played by the BBC Northern Orchestra, conducted by Warwick Braithwaite
Brahms's Serenade in D belongs essentially to the Haydn tradition : it is in fact a study in the classical style, even to the scoring which includes, however, four horns instead of the customary two of the period. The music is genial and high-spirited throughout, but of all the seven movements the most individual is the scherzo with its pleasing syncopations and effective use of the pause. The two minuets are both very charming, particularly the second, which has a delightfully melodious and flowing trio.
