Elegance gives way to exuberance in this compelling musical journey. Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin commemorates friends whom the composer lost in World War I, with each movement taking form of a French Baroque dance. Aaron Copland expresses the loneliness of modern urban life in his contemplative classic Quiet City, in which Monterey Symphony principals Dylan Girard (trumpet) and Ruth Stuart (English horn) step forward as soloists. Composed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Valerie Coleman's Seven O'Clock Shout dramatizes the nightly phenomenon of people stepping outside to cheer, clap, and bang pots in support of frontline workers. The program closes with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's mighty Symphony No. 5, a work that grapples with fate and its acceptance.
