Guided Listening - Charge of the Light Brigade
Can a piece of music be pictorial? If you have not experienced programmatic music, this episode will open your ears to a new experience.
Today, Gustav takes you through his piece The Charge of the Light Brigade, inspired by the poem of the same name by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
We will listen to this piece in fragments to dissect the journey, and then we will hear the piece in totality. In the end, you can decide if the musical gestures alone give you the full story.
