Gwydion Rhys Two Pieces for Orchestra (world premiere)
R Strauss Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche op 28 TrV 171

Joana Carneiro is welcomed back to the º£½ÇÂÒÂ×¹Ù·½ for a concert of contrasts, including a world premiere by RCM composer Gwydion Rhys, winner of the RCM Large Ensemble Composition Competition, and Richard Strauss’ fun-filled tone poem depicting ‘Till Eulenspiegel’s merry pranks’.

‘Once upon a time there was a knavish fool named Till Eulenspiegel. He was a wicked goblin up to new tricks’. So wrote Richard Strauss in the programme notes to his playful, dazzling single-movement work, which follows the adventures of Till Eulenspiegel, a figure from medieval folklore – like an impish Robin Hood. Till rides to market, wreaking havoc; dresses up as a clergyman; flirts and is rejected; punctures academic pomposity and, to the sound of sad trombones, is sent to the gallows. He pleads but is not spared, whistling defiantly before Strauss rounds off the work with a cartoonish flourish.
