André Caplet: “Conte Fantastique” for Harp and String Quartet
Edgar Allen Poe: Masque of the Red Death
Claude Debussy: “Sacred and Profane Dances” for Harp and Strings
French composer Andrè Caplet's elegantly chilling "Conte Fantastique"
("Fantastic Story") brings us to the very brink of Halloween! The work is
based, as are many of Caplet's compositions, on the writing of Edgar Allan Poe. Caplet portrays "The Masque of the Red Death" as music, using the harp to set up the sound world of a somewhat twisted fairy tale. Debussy’s “Sacred and Profane Dances” begin the program, featuring virtuoso harpist Lynne Abbey-Lee
