The Abruzzo region of Italy that inspired Berlioz' "Harold in Italy." | Image by ClouDan83 from Pixabay
A solo viola represents a wanderer making his way through Italy and along the way encounters scenes of pilgrims in prayer, a mountaineer singing to his ladyfriend, the revelry of a band of rogues and more. It’s “Harold In Italy” by Hector Berlioz, inspired by the composer’s own wanderings through Italy. Hear it today at 2:00pm for your Midday Masterpiece.
