One
of the composers on the program for the Summer Festival wrote
symphonies, concertos, ballets, choral music, chamber music and scores
for more than a hundred films, including Bridge on the River Kwai in
1957, for which he won an Oscar. Hint: he was born in England and was
knighted in 1993. Another hint: his work appears in the first concert
of the Summer Festival.
Sir
Malcolm Arnold, CBE (1921-2006) was an English composer with
breathtaking output, including nine symphonies, numerous concertos and
other concert works, music for choral, wind and chamber ensembles, five
ballets and two operas. And somehow he still found time to compose
scores for over 100 films, including The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
for which he won an Oscar. One of his more popular short works is the
Divertimento for Flute, Oboe and Clarinet, which will be heard in
Concert 1 of the Summer Festival.
Music
offers no quarter for compromise. We sense in music an extension of
ourselves, a reminder of our own potential for perfection. Through
music we become one with the stars.
