Since Valentine's Day was on Thursday and I was teaching, last night we had our Valentine's Date. We saw "A Musical Love Story" performed by the
Phoenix Symphony and conducted by Lawrence Golan. Because George retrieved me from the bead store at 6:30, we didn't really have time to eat, but at my insistence, we grabbed hummos and soup from Bistro 101 and ran to the Orpheum. We took our seats
just as the lights were dimmed.
The music was lovely, and pieces, designed to represent each stage of love, included:
- Prelude, Holbert Suite (Edvard Grieg)
- Largo, from Concerto in D minor for Two Violins (J.S. Bach)
- Allegretto, Palladio (Karl Jenkins) [You may know this from the De Beers ads.]
- Canon (Johann Pachelbel)
- Serenade, Opus 1 (Samuel Barber)
- Serenae for Strings, Opus 48 (Piotr I. Tchaikovsky)
