The Music of Transformation
an SFCO EDUCATE YOUR EAR CONCERT
Wagner: Prelude and Liebestod (Love-death) from Tristan und Isolde
Strauss: Death and Transfiguration
Wagner and Strauss are both composers who make use of short, evocative melodic themes, or “leitmotifs,” to represent important elements of the stories they’re telling in their music, whether it’s a fateful glance,
a love-potion, or something more: endless
longing, the wracking pain of illness, or
even the transcendence of this earthly life.
Educate Your Ear - It will change the way you hear!
Free Admission, Donations Appreciated
