Symphony No. 9 3 Haydn 7.58 app.
Chant du Rossignol...Stravinsky 8.25 app.
Overture: Semiramis...Rossini
Stravinsky's 'Chant du Rossignol' is a symphonic poem, written in 1917 and derived from the music of his opera Le Rossignol, which was completed three years before. The opera, based on a story by Hans Andersen, opens with the song of a fisherman who is seeking the nightingale demanded by the Emperor of China. After a series of mishaps the wonderful bird is brought to the Emperor's palace. Soon afterwards a mechanical nightingale is sent from Japan, and this makes such an extraordinary noise that the real nightingale flies away. Later the Emperor falls ill and his subjects prepare to mourn his death. But the nightingale returns and with its beautiful singing chases away the figure of Death; whereupon the Emperor rises from his couch to greet his people.
The symphonic poem begins with a musical picture of a fete in the palace of the Emperor; it is a luxurious palace of porcelain, 'with thousands of little bells and lanterns.' A Chinese March follows; then we hear the 'Song of the Nightingale.' This is succeeded by the screeching of the mechanical bird, the music associated with the illness and recovery of the Emperor, and the song of the fisherman.
