Regular listeners will know that I play classical pieces less often than I would like, so I was very pleased when Mark asked me if I would be interested in playing this.

I hope you also enjoyed it.

This second movement is described as adagietto cantando.

That sent me back to the music theory books to shake out a few cobwebs.

Adagietto is described as being moderately paced, encouraging calmness and contemplation. Cantando as being performed in a song like style.

This movement is truly beautiful, and I can hear it fitting its description.

The sound and pace of the opening strings provide that gentle feeling of relaxed contemplation.

A contrasting rising passage ups the tempo, and I can hear a harp in the arrangement.

A more relaxed return to the earlier tempo has a delicate metal xylophone above the strings.

I really love this, and I can’t believe that it has taken so long to get it performed and released to the public.

All to often we hear the refrain that there is no general audience for classical music, so we can’t programme it. But until it is programmed more often, there will be no general audience for classical music.

I hope you listened and enjoyed it.

For my part, I’ll have to rearrange the format of a Tempo program, so that we can hear the full symphony.

Mark Isaacs’ Symphony No. 2 has been released on major digital musical platforms.
