The genre we will be turning to for the next few weeks is sculpture.
Sculptures pertaining to music range from classical composer monuments and figural depictions of musicians to abstract, interactive, and sound-producing installations. This week we travel to the United States for Virtuoso by David Adickes; The Spirit of Music by Albin Polasek; Untitled (Jazz Musicians) by John Spaulding; and ‘Phoenix’ by Louis Halleux. To accompany these ‘viewings’ we will hear music by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Richard Strauss, a jazz standard with Wes Montgomery, and extracts from Paul Patterson’s Phoenix Concerto (for oboe).
The next programme to focus on the art form of sculpture and those related to music - works that often aim to embody emotion, rhythm, or legacy. In this episode we focus on just one subject - APOLLO. We look at two statues that symbolize his position as leader of the muses, hence patron of music and poetry. We will hear music by Stravinsky and Arthur Bliss.
