🧠 Lecture: "Unlocking the Secrets of Beethoven's Fifth"
🎤 Speaker: Professor Delvyn Case
Da-Da-Da-DUM. They are the four most famous notes in music history. You’ve heard them your whole life—in commercials, movie scores, and maybe even that classic 1976 disco remix. But why are they so important? What do they reveal about the inner workings of this extraordinary piece? And how can those answers unlock the secret to enjoying and understanding classical music?
Using vivid recorded examples, Professor Delvyn Case will lead a deep dive into one of the most dramatic and compelling orchestral works ever written: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. No musical experience is required—just bring your ears and your curiosity.
Delvyn Case is Professor of Music at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, where he conducts the Great Woods Symphony Orchestra. As a composer, his music has been performed by over 100 orchestras, including the Boston Pops, and by numerous Grammy-winning artists. For 25 years he has been teaching, writing, and speaking about music to audiences of all ages, helping them hear, understand, and enjoy music in new ways.
