Harmony
The third of a series of programmes in which conductor Leonard Slatkin explores ways of listening with fresh ears to the basic elements of music: harmony.
Leonard and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic examine some of Beethoven's structures in the Eroica Symphony. Leonard does his own 'Guess the Tune' mystery harmonisation of a popular ballad, and the programme ends with a close look at a work more often remembered for its orchestration than for remarkable harmonies - Respighi's Pines of Rome.
