Discovery Orchestra Chat 55 – Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Thrill to Handel’s most well-known chorus as you follow our listening guide!
Do you like being deceived? Well, composers use deceptive cadences to surprise the music listener!
Maestro Maull explains crescendo and decrescendo and how sudden dynamic changes can be so exciting.
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime. I have heard Maull lecture many times before performances and now here he is right on my computer screen and with the clearest of visual aids. I promise if you listen to one of these you will understand a piece as never before. And, I have discovered from past experiences with his lectures that I always listen to any given piece with a greater connection. These “home” viewings of Maull’s lectures are such a gift! Highly recommended.
