Frederic Delius’s Two pieces for small orchestra (1911-12), titled “On hearing the first cuckoo in spring” and “Summer night on the river” are two miniature tone poems of alluring character, rich in nature sounds and imagery. Albert Roussel’s Concerto for small orchestra (1927) is a remarkably characterful work exhibiting some of the composer’s typical traits: energized rhythmic drive and richly colourful and brilliant orchestration. Roussel probably called it a concerto in the French Baroque sense of the word: a large-scale work for an instrumental ensemble. Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite is comprised of eight movements from his ballet Pulcinella (1920), the first masterpiece of his Neo-classical output. The work exhibits Stravinsky’s fascination with eighteenth century music and musical forms. As he remarked: “Pulcinella was my discovery of the past, the epiphany through which the whole of my late work became possible.”
Directions: The theatre is next to the Karavella bus station in the upper town, just off the Polis Road behind the petrol station. MARKIDEION MUNICIPAL THEATRE OF PAPHOS, 27 Andrea Geroudi Street, Paphos. Tel: 26222286
