Introspection, Melancholy, and Exuberance: Music  in Every Tone Colour

Musaeus with guest Joan Rogers, clarinet

Brahms had retired from composing, but impressed with the virtuosity of a fellow musician, he was inspired to create a work for clarinet and string quartet, a rare combination.  Brahms embraced technicality in all ranges of the clarinet, creating a powerful conversation between clarinet and strings.  This music of Brahms takes one on an incredible journey that includes spectacular beauty and rich texture.

Not to be outdone, Dvorak’s work is one of restlessness, with unsettled harmonies and rhythms.  Dvorak linked this work to the traditional Russian Christmas, a time of frivolity, tipsy carol singing, and riotous celebration, a wild way to ring in 2025!
