Columbia, MO: Missouri Symphony

Composer Molly Joyce composed a contemporary climate-aware response to Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ, confronting the slow yet looming crisis, alluding to the individual actions as missing the forest for the trees when systematic destruction is ignored. Fauré’s tragic love story Pelléas et Mélisande follows this journey into the woods, before handing off to Haydn’s Symphony No. 103 “Drumroll,” where a seemingly peaceful and pastoral E-flat major hides a warning of an ambiguous dies irae in its theme.
