Echoes of Majesty is a concert of works that depict majestic places. Through this musical journey, you will experience the majesty of noble monuments, grandiose forests, lofty mountains, and spacious cathedrals. Beginning with a rousing fanfare by Jack Stamp, the first half of the concert continues with Salfelder’s Cathedrals, an homage to the brass ensembles for which Gabrieli composed in Italy in the 16th century to be performed from cathedral balconies. Cathedral Grove by Buckley paints a musical landscape of the largest trees in the world, and Boysen’s Klang is a depiction of sounds created by building materials from a majestic concert hall. We end the first half with Wagner’s familiar Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral.
