MASON BATES: Ode
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 9
The Music Academy of the West Festival Orchestra series will open with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Academy Voice Program fellows will be the soloists and join the Santa Barbara Choral Society in the iconic “Ode to Joy.” Mason Bates' Ode was commissioned by the Phoenix Symphony in 2001 as a companion piece to Beethoven’s Ninth. Ode takes Beethoven’s piece and turns it backward, beginning with the joy and working back to the music of the first movement, and in so doing, chronicling how the world has developed since the great choral symphony was written in 1827.
