Serenade in C minor, K388 – Mozart
Petite Symphonie – Gounod
Hexham Abbey Festival Winds, Director – Denis McCaldin
Continuing our Festival exploration of Mozart’s work, his Serenade in C minor, K388, is a glorious mini masterpiece. Wind serenades were usually written in five or six movements, but this one has precisely the form of a symphony in four movements.
Charles Gounod’s charming Petite Symphonie calls for the standard Mozart serenade configuration, but also included a single flute part for the famous player of his day, Paul Taffanel. The resulting four-movement little symphony is an excellent partner to the Mozart and exhibits a Classical clarity of form and phrase structure with shades of Romantic harmony and expressivity.
Festival Winds has been formed from leading players from the region and is conducted by artistic Director – Denis McCaldin.
A mouthwatering Mozart Kugel will be served with coffee
