Mac'nClassicalCheese - Jun 14, 2023

Pivoting from last week's nature theme, today's pieces each correspond to a time of day. *Queue the "oohs" and "ahs"* We'll start with a song that's not by a classical group, rather the rock group The Moody Blues who recorded their album Days of Future Passed with The London Festival Orchestra. Their opening piece, The Day Begins, is a beautiful orchestral overture of sorts with some narration at the end. We will move from here into dawn (Pride and Prejudice 2005 score), then morning ("Morning Mood" from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite), afternoon (Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun), dusk (Gibbs's Fancy Dress Suite), and finish in the night (Transfigured Night by Schoenberg, and Night and Love by Holmès)
