Symphony No. 3 by Michael Tippett is a work for soprano and orchestra with text written by the composer. It was composed between 1970 and 1972 and received its premiere on 22 June 1972 at the Royal Festival Hall, London, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with the soprano Heather Harper conducted by Colin Davis. The symphony is notable for its use of blues and its direct quotation of the opening of the finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The work criticises the ecstatic and utopian understanding of the brotherhood of man as expressed in the ''Ode to Joy'' and instead stresses man's capacity for both good and evil.〔Matthews, p.93〕 The work is consequently characterised by contrasting and conflicting parts, its overall design being "one massive antithesis".〔Kemp, p.438〕 ==Movements== The work consists of two parts: # Allegro non troppo e pesante (Arrest) - Allegro molto e con grande energia (Movement) # Allegro molto - Slow Blues (Andante) - Fast blues (Allegro) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphony No. 3 (Tippett)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
