Thanks! :)Symphony No. 1 (Milhaud)
The Symphony No. 1 (also known as Symphony No. 1) was composed in 1939 by Darius Milhaud and first performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski on May 31, 1939. The symphony, Milhaud's first to use his own texts, was commissioned by George A. Hall of the WPA and written for the Federal Music Project. It is scored for a large orchestra (two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, triangle, piano, harp and strings).
The composition is in two movements:
Allegro
Tempo di Menuetto
The symphony has a dramatic structure, with a leitmotif in the bass clarinet (which is virtually the only instrument not to double a part). The piece opens with a short, dramatic introduction of two bars, containing the principal theme, played in unison by the lower horn, clarinet and bass clarinet. The first theme is first stated by the oboe, and the second by the horn. The second section begins with a quaver melody on the piano, which is the theme for the entire second movement, after which the trumpet plays a short motif for the principal theme. This is followed by the first theme again, but this time in triplets. The same principal theme is played by the trumpet, which is followed by a bass clarinet motive, which is extended in a coda. The second movement ends with a short, recitative-like cadenza for the solo clarinet, which is followed by a similar cadenza for the bassoon. ac619d1d87
