Weekend of July 4, 2009
"Fireworks and Prairie Music"
Celebratory classics inspired by fireworks and sparklers for the holiday weekend! Music by Stravinsky, Handel, and Moritz Moszkowski. And our 21st century piece this Friday is the world premiere of "prairyerth" (pronounced like "Prairie Earth") by Kansas native Robert Johnson. (btw, that's the correct spelling, with no capital letter) Paavo Jarvi conducts the Cincinnati Symphony in this piece evocative of the wide-open spaces of the American prairie.
