I haven't got involved yet but they are something I have up my sleeve for the future.<br /><br />I don't know that Smetana by name but would probably recognise it if I heard it --- as is often my wont!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301923073845301598.post-4805061575459306262011-01-14T09:23:34.804+00:002011-01-14T09:23:34.804+00:00WG, our music group is one group within our local ...WG, our music group is one group within our local branch of The University of the Third Age. The woman who leads us is musically trained and sets us off in our studies but we then each chose an element of the subject we've chosen and go off, research it and then present it to the group along with the appropriate music. It works in very much the same way as a reading group really. I hadn't thought about Debussy, but of course you're right and I do love the Prelude. I was thinking about looking at Smetana's 'Ma Vlast' as so you so often hear the section that depicts the River Volta but not the other five pieces.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966461711132186974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301923073845301598.post-5539850833261414762011-01-13T22:15:38.466+00:002011-01-13T22:15:38.466+00:00A music group.

I am not but my husband is, and we have for years attended chamber music concerts in our city - organised by, I think, the world's longest standing Chamber Music Society, Musica Viva (but don't quote me on that!).<br /><br />As for tone poems - I thin Debussy wrote a number, and I've hardly met a Debussy I didn't like! The most famous is Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, but he wrote quite a few I think. I think they're tone poems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
