Program Notes
Moravian Rhapsody is a short, brilliant work inspired by folk melodies from Moravia. After a brief brass fanfare, the rhapsody unfolds in a series of variations on the song Beskyde Beskyde, which dominates the whole work.
Moravian Rhapsody was written in 1984, after a commission from the Uster Festival in Switzerland, where it received its premiere performance in 1985.
