Spokane Symphony Masterworks 5: Stolen Melodies

Jess Walter, New York Times best-selling author, brings us his own witty, irreverent, and lyrical take on Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” (aka “The Inland Northwesterner’s Guide to the Orchestra”).
In the first half of this program, we hear haunting interpretations of works written by earlier composers, including Vaughan Williams, who borrowed a theme from the 16th century English composer, Thomas Tallis, and Trauermusik, performed by symphony Principal Viola, Nick Carper.
