The Program
Boudreau—Berliner Momente III: Québécois composer Walter Boudreau weaves together themes from Haydn and Wagner in his third of four “Berliner” pieces.
Liszt—Les Préludes: Liszt, the inventor of the symphonic poem, drew inspiration from de Lamartine’s “Méditations poetiques,” a part of which accompanies the score: “What else is our life than a series of preludes to an unknown song, whose first and solemn notes are intoned by death?” Much like the poem, the mood of Liszt’s piece slowly waxes and wanes, with a three-note motif linking one part to the next.
Berlioz—Symphonie Fantastique: Leonard Bernstein called the Fantastique, “the first psychedelic symphony in history.” Indeed the composer himself describes the “plot” as revolving around a young lovesick musician who “poisons himself with opium” that “plunges him into a heavy sleep” wherein “his feelings, sensations and memories are translated by his sick brain into musical thoughts and images.” Considering that Berlioz was inspired by a romantic infatuation for Irish actress Harriet Smithson at the time he was writing this work, it’s likely that a good portion of that plot is autobiographical—which may explain its psychedelic nature.
