GABRIELLA SMITH Breathing Forests
DEBUSSY Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
JOHN ADAMS City Noir
The Cleveland Orchestra
John Adams, conductor
James McVinnie, organ
Timothy McAllister, saxophone
Sensual and rhapsodic, Debussy’s prelude uses the solo flute to evoke the moody, dream-like atmosphere of a faun who awakens from a nap in the forest on a sunlit afternoon. In contrast with the more pastoral mood of this concert’s opening works, City Noir was inspired by the peculiar ambience and mood of Los Angeles ‘noir’ films, especially those produced in the late forties and early fifties.
This program’s Concert Preview lectures will be presented by Eric Charnofsky, Senior Instructor, Department of Music, Case Western Reserve University
