Más información sobre el libro

MacMillan's Symphony No. 4, composed between 2014 and 2015, stands out for its abstract nature, diverging from his earlier symphonies. The work explores the interplay of various musical materials, reflecting the theme of 'music as ritual.' This concept has intrigued composers from Monteverdi in the early 17th century to contemporary figures like Boulez and Birtwistle. The symphony invites listeners to engage with its complex textures and the evolving dialogue between different musical ideas.
