Favourite Tone Poems

[Lateralthinking1]

I am listening to Douglas Lilburn's "Forest" on Spotify - http://www.douglaslilburn.org/percy_...e_results.html.

Earlier, I was with Rachmaninoff's "Isle of The Dead" and Rodrigo's "Per la Flor del llin blau".

I like them but they are not my favourites as I am wobbly on the category.

(If anyone is familiar with Miss F.E. Polard of Christchurch's "Twilight and the Mako Mako" and Miss R.E. Rowlandson of Auckland's "Te Ika a Maui" (The Fishing of Maui), I am all ears).

I thought Tone Poems didnt tell stoires but painted a mood- like Sibelious Tapiola

I thought the ones that told stories were called Symphonic Poems? -like Dvorak Water Goblin, which was, incidentally, on the channel 4 testcard !

If it wasnt a Violin Concerto i will go for Berg. Violin Concerto.


So.
To summarise.

Sibelious Tapioca - Tone Poem

Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet- Fantasy

Dvorak Golden Spinning Wheel- Symphonic Poem

Schoenberg Transfigured Night- Poem

Elgar Cockaigne Overture - oh, dont go there Richard, dont go there...

[Serial_Apologist]

Sibelious Tapioca - Tone Poem

Shouldn't that read "So, bilious tapioca"?

Shouldn't that read "So, bilious tapioca"?

Does it go with Tchaik's Fat tum

Sounds like that bit in pendereki symphony no.1

Seeing as we seem to be giving sets of 3:

Liszt - Orpheus
R.Strauss - Don Juan
Tausig - Das Geisterschiff (if only the orchestral version wasn't lost - the piano version is incredible!)
