Fakhouri and the FSO light up the stage with one of your favorite

season finale event at Methodist University Reeves Auditorium on
Saturday, April 26, at 8:00PM.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 3
Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major is a
work sometimes cited as marking the beginning of musical Romanticism
and the end of the Classical Era. Beethoven had originally conceived
of dedicating the symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte. He later changed
the title to the English translation of “heroic symphony, composed
to celebrate the memory of a great man." The piece is in four
movements:
Allegro con brio
Marcia funebre: Adagio assai
Scherzo: Allegro vivace
Finale: Allegro molto
Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite
The Pulcinella Suite is derived from the Ballet. Pulcinella was
the gateway to Stravinsky's second phase as a composer, the
neoclassical. The Pulcinella suite consists of eight movements:
Sinfonia
Serenata
a: Scherzino b: Allegretto c:
Andantino
Tarantella
Toccata
Gavotta (con due variazioni)
Vivo
a: Minuetto b: Finale
Tickets range from $8-$22 and can be purchased by phone at (910) 433 - 4690, online at www.fayettevillesymphony.org, or at the door the night of the event.
