THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL
COUNTLESS composers have sought in their music to suggest the other-worldliness of the pale light of the moon. None, perhaps, has ever been better fitted to do so than Debussy, with his genius for dreamy, atmospheric music, half-lights and subtle shades.
UPON Pick-Mangiagalli the influences of three nations have been exercised. He was born in 1882 in Bohemia (now Czecho-Slovakia), has studied in Italy, and lived at Vienna, though he is a naturalized Italian.
The work of his that we know best here is his orchestral Tone Poem, Witchcraft (Sortilegi). Besides this, he has written, in about a quarter of a century of composition, an Opera, a Lyric Comedy, a ' Monomimic Legend,' a ' Musical
Fable,' a ' Mimo-symphonic Comedy,' a Violin Sonata, a String Quartet, and some pianoforte pieces, one of which we are to hear. The Dance is one of two pieces in Op. 33, which is described as Deux Lunaires.
