Haydn's Farewell Symphony
Haydn's Farewell Symphony brings to life a long summer spent at Esterhåza, the summer palace of Prince Nicholas of Esterhåzy. The blustering, bellowing prince entertained hundreds of guests at his rural retreat and demanded music for every occasion. As the months passed, Haydn was kept very busy writing and performing music for parties, balls, dinners, and even walks in the gardens. His orchestra members became homesick and missed their families. The anger, frustration, and longing of the musicians is expressed beautifully in the symphony born of the clever mind of Joseph Haydn who used it to convince Prince Nicholas that it was time to go home. Written by Anna Harwell Celenza. Illustrated by JoAnn E. Kitchel. Hardcover; 32 pages.
