About this book
Before an orchestral performance, the story behind a score can help make its sounds intelligible. Lawrence Gilman's 1907 guide brings together the literary, dramatic and pictorial sources of symphonies, overtures and tone poems. Entries cover composers including Beethoven, Berlioz, Debussy, Elgar and Strauss. The preface presents this information as preparation for concertgoers, with particular attention to works that draw on poems, pictures and plays.
In the discussion of Loeffler, Gilman traces the connection between orchestral effects and the atmosphere of a play. Recurring phrases, string textures and the distinctive sound of the viola d'amore become ways of expressing its characters and emotions. His account gives readers concrete examples of how instruments can suggest a scene or a threatening presence. The book offers a historical approach to music appreciation for anyone interested in the relationship between a score and the ideas that shaped it.
