Program Notes

Of the four sections of Respighi’s Pines of Rome, the last, the Pines of the Apian Way, is frequently performed separately. The preface to the orchestral scores gives the following description of this section:

"Misty dawn on the Apian Way. The tragic country is guarded by solitary pines. Indistinctly, incessantly, the rhythms of innumerable steps. To the poet’s fantasy appears a vision of past glories; trumpets blare and the army of the Consul advances brilliantly in the grandeur of the newly risen sun, toward the Sacred Way, mounting in triumph the Capitoline Hill."
