| Opening Bars of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring |
I had never
heard either Schmitt’s La
Tragedie de Salome or Dukas’s La Péri until I found out we were playing them
on the course. Now I have listened to them, I think that they are both really
interesting pieces and they should throw up some challenges and fun moments.
However, the piece I am most looking forward to is The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky. It is an incredible
piece but really difficult as well; just looking at the part is slightly scary
in its own right. Not many people our age can say that they have played it and
I think it will be a lot of fun getting to grips with it. (Sam Buttler, Oboe)

| Costume design for Nijinsky's La Peri |
Wedi derbyn y gerddoriaeth drwy'r post dw i hyd yn
oed yn fwy cyffrous ar gyfer y cwrs. Es ati yn syth i wrando arnynt ar youtube
gan fod y darnau i gyd yn ddiarth i mi, ac rwyf wedi gwirioni efo'r Schmitt a'r
Dukas a dwi wrth fy modd efo'r Stravinsky (er bod 'na ddim darn ar gyfer
telyn!). Mae'r darnau telyn yn edrych yn eithaf heriol ond dw i'n edrych mlaen
at y sialens! Mae'r amrywiaeth o fewn y rhaglen yn wych a dwi'n siwr y bydd y
cynulleidfaoedd wedi gwirioni ac yn gwerthfawrogi'r rhaglen sy'n amrwyio o
ddawns y ballet Ffrengig i drasiedi. (Elain Rhys Jones, Telyn)
After receiving the music through the post I'm even
more excited for the course! I instantly searched for the pieces on YouTube
since they are all new to me, and I absolutely love the Schmitt and the Dukas
as well as the Stravinsky(although it excludes harps!). The harp parts seem
very challenging but I'm extremely looking forward for the challenge! The
variety within the musical programme is wonderful and I'm certain that the
audiences will appreciate the programme that varies from a French ballet dance
to a tragedy. (Elain Rhys Jones, Harp)
