BROOKLINE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA MUSICAL TRIVIA WEDNESDAYS: Good Evening Brookline Symphony Musical Trivia participants. What a beautiful evening we are having in Boston! A beautiful evening is the perfect time to mention our beautiful concert coming up this Sunday, May 11th at 3 p.m. Here is our late evening trivia post: In 1902, Vitezslav Novak composed his most successful work date. Can you name the piece? He describes the piece as follows: “A gloomy atmosphere before a menacing storm. Grey-white mist swirls over the steep, craggy mountain slopes. The sun however manages to break through the clouds and for a brief moment illuminates the sublime, melancholy landscape. But soon new, more menacing clouds appear; they become more dense, broken by blinding flashes of lightning. The storm erupts. It crashes into the unyielding granite walls of the Tatras … After a wild struggle, silence reigns again. The setting sun gilds the gigantic mountain peaks and the evening church-bells are heard in the distance. Above the Tatra range, night descends in a pearl-strewn veil, said Novak.
