Program Details
DESCRIPTION
Mysterious, lyrical, and evocative of twilight moods, the nocturne has captured listeners’ imaginations for generations. While Frederic Chopin made the genre famous, he was not its inventor. In this class, we’ll trace the nocturne’s evolution from its early 19th-century roots through its transformations in the hands of later composers. Along the way, we’ll explore how this intimate musical form has expressed the many shades of night across time and style.
Instructor: Brenda Leonard
