| NU Symphonic Orchestra | Jan 27, 2007 | pt 1 | More videos |
On January 27, 2007 NUAMPS spent an evening with the Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra. The program included Nocturnes by Debussy, Five Pieces by Schoenberg, and Don Quixote by Strauss.Nocturnes, composed by Claude Debussy, was inspired by three paintings of James McNeill Whistler of the same titles. Just as Whistler was a proponent of color as the focal point of his paintings, so too do Debussy's works make use of colorful timbres. | |
