Nature, Myth, and the Musical Imagination (Webinar)
$18.00
For centuries, writers have drawn inspiration from the literary tradition as well as the living page of nature to shape their literary lives. But what about the composer? How does attention to nature as well as a deep understanding of folktales and myth affect a person whose first language is music?
Join Querida Thompson as she guides us through Bedrich Smetana’s tone poem “Die Moldau” – a Romantic representation of the main river that flows through Bohemia. We will journey through forests and across meadows where boar hunts and merry feasts are celebrated, past castles that soar proudly into the sky, and we will pull back the veil to discover how Charlotte Mason’s feast of ideas manifests itself within the realm of a musical imagination.
