Symphonic Fantasy: Pohiula's Daughter...Sibelius
What the Wild Flowers Tell me (Symphony No. 3)...Mahler, arr. Britten
Concerto for Viola and Orchestra...William Walton
The chief features of Walton's Viola Concerto are its wealth of fine melodies. flexibility of rhythm, brilliant and individual style of scoring, and ingenious counterpoint. It is worthy of being placed beside any of the great violin or cello concertos of our lime, such as those of Elgar and Sibelius. Intelligent musicians, young and old, agree on its great merits. Tovey has said that it seems to him 'to be one of the most important modern concertos for any instrument, and I can see no limit to what may be expected of the tone-poet who could create it.'
Symphonic Fragments: Daphnis and Chloe (Second Suite)...... Ravel
The story of Daphnis and Chloe is concerned with the ingenuous love of a shepherd for a shepherdess. The smooth course is upset by a country bumpkin named Dorcon who presses his unworthy attentions on Chloe. At the same time another shepherdess does her best to secure Daphnis. Finally Chloe is carried off by pirates, but is rescued through the aid of the god Pan. The second suite is taken from the third and last scenes of the ballet. At dawn Chloe, who has been rescued from her abductors by Pan. finds Daphnis lying prostrate before the grove consecrated to the nymphs. They embrace. and Lammon. an old shepherd, explains that Pan has saved Chloe in memory of his love for the nymph Syrinx. In their gratitude to Pan the lovers enact in pantomime the story of Pan's wooing of Syrinx. The finale is a general dance of rejoicing.
