The "Macabre Journey" program plunges us into a dark musical odyssey. Clarke opens with her Passacaglia, a piece invoking mysterious atmospheres. Bruch, with Kol Nidrei, offers a deeply resonant cello and piano lament. Saint-Saëns makes use of Henri Cazalis poem to bring us his Danse macabre. According to the legend the poem is based on, death appears on the midnight of Halloween to call forth the dead to dance for him while he plays his fiddle. Bloch presents his brief yet poignant “Prayer” for cello and piano. Shostakovich closes with his Piano trio No. 2, where lament and urgency intertwine in a musical narrative exploring the extremes of emotional expression.
