THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO AUGMENTED
ORCHESTRA
(Leader, FRANK CANTELL )
Conducted by Joseph Lewis
MENDELSSOHN'S Overture, an inspiration from his visit to the wonderful cave in the Isle of Staffa, has been known by various names. On the first copy of the score, written at Rome in 1830, the piece is entitled The Lonely Island. A second copy (an amended score) bears the name The Hebrides. The name by which the Overture is usually known is that given in our programme. The opening theme came into the composer's mind as he was rowed into the great cave.
