Dayton
Philharmonic Orchestra presents The Awakening on
Thursday, January 10 at 8 p.m.
and Saturday, January 12, 8 :00 p.m. at The Schuster Center. The sound of the
horn weaves a magical thread throughout these wide-ranging pieces. From the
opening call in Weber's opera overture to the plaintive summons of the Shofar
(ram's horn) in Meira Warshauer'sTekeeyah, to the soaring fanfare embodying
great American archetypes, such as the returning soldier, in Aaron Copland's
Symphony No. 3, something about the horn reaches deep into our collective soul.
The three versatile composers on this program explore this great musical asset
in the widest variety of multi-hued orchestral compositions.
