Beethoven’s
Ninth:
A Choral
Spectacular
Thrill to Beethoven’s greatest
masterpiece when Albany Pro Musica joins the orchestra for the stirring choral Beethoven’s Symphony
No. 9, one of the best known works in
all music history. It incorporates “Ode
to Joy”, a poem by Friedrich Schiller,
with text sung by soloists and chorus. This was the first example of a major
composer using the human voice on the same level with instruments in a symphony.
A new work by Dorothy Chang adds a contemporary touch to the program.
