5. Symphony concert

ROOTS AND WINGS


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No. 39 in E flat major KV 543
Ralph Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending
Ottorino Respighi Pini di Roma, symphonic poem in four movements


In the 5th symphony concert, the TSOI picks up on the themes of departure and arrival, which play a central role in the TLT's repertoire this season. In Pini di Roma, the voice of a real nightingale captured on tape symbolizes departure and arrival, the movement of bird flight as a dynamic image of home. This motif is echoed in The Lark Ascending, coupled with the lark that gives the piece its title, which floats detached above the orchestra in the form of the solo violin. The soloist is concertmaster Martin Yavryan, one of the TSOI's outstanding musicians. Mozart's Symphony No. 39, drei composed years before his death, was given the nickname Swan Song; a term often used for the last work of an artist and which goes back to the idea that a swan sings a last moving song in the last stage of its life.


The program is complemented by an overture by the Innsbruck Music School's Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, with works by William's contemporary Jean Sibelius and the Little Night Music, which was composed just six months before Mozart's Great Symphony No. 39.
