1849年是舒曼创作最频繁的一年。舒曼在两天之内完成了这首作品的创作，并在1849年2月12日首演了该作品。这首作品原本是写给钢琴与单簧管的，但舒曼建议大提琴或小提琴亦可代替单簧管演奏该作品。

这首钢琴与大提琴的奏鸣曲属于贝多芬晚期作品中最早的作品之一。贝多芬在创作这首奏鸣曲之前经历了耳聋、疾病、拿破仑的战败以及争夺侄子抚养权作为继承人的失败。这首作品映射出了作曲家是如何走出人生的阴暗、重新投入创作并开启他创作生涯的新篇章。

Why The Caged Bird Sings
Mimesis Ensemble is celebrating the 10th Anniversary season with a concert at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, featuring the World Premiere of Mohammed Fairouz's Bursts of Meaning, for solo piano. The concert also features the music of the recently deceased composer, Halim El-Dabh, who was our Composer-in-Residence during our inaugural season of 2008-9. Prayer in the form of music is a central theme on this concert that explores what it means to be human in the face of turmoil and despair.
"I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings --
I know why the caged bird sings!"
~Poetry by Paul Laurence Dunbar, set to music by Florence Price

Morten Lauridsen, Lux Aeterna (1997)
On Sunday, November 12 the Chancel Choir will present two special musical offerings. First, in the 10:45 worship service, they’ll offer Morten Lauridsen’s sublime and transcendent work, “Lux Aeterna” accompanied by orchestra. This piece, which explores the spiritual significance of Light, in this life, and the next, has become something of a modern classic.
Then, in the evening, at 7:30pm, invite your friends to join you as the Chancel Choir and orchestra will present a full CONCERT for RECONCILIATION. The featured work for the concert will be another 20th century classic choral work, “The Peaceable Kingdom” by Randall Thompson. Inspired by Edward Hicks’ numerous portrayals of the Lion and Lamb dwelling together in harmony, this unaccompanied choral work musically sets vivid and dramatic texts from the prophecies of Isaiah to point us toward reconciliation. The second portion of the program will include a repeat performance of Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna,” offering a second chance to bask in the beauty of this music.
Both events are free, with special music offerings being received to help support the expenses for both the morning and evening performances. Significant financial support for these events is also being provided by the Lois V. Parker Special Music Fund, and the Janet S. and David B. Reed Fund.

Plus, Stare conducts a unique and thrilling performance of Mussorgsky’s beloved sonic showpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition, featuring orchestrations by nine notable arrangers including Ravel, Stokowski and Ashkenazy.

How glorious it is to behold pure genius at its prime in Mozart’s late, great Piano Concerto No. 24, written during an astoundingly prolific stretch in which the music poured forth as if fully formed. Sibelius is known today as one of the greatest symphonists ever, synonymous with lean, glacial beauty and a groundbreaking style all his own. Here, we hear him on the cusp of a new century, brimming with youthful energy and soaring, expansive soundscapes.
