Acclaimed British conductor Sir Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra guide viewers through a century of orchestral music in this entertaining and educational release. With the help of photographs and archive film footage, the third volume of this fine series focuses on the way that music helped shape the movement toward abstraction in visual art. In the late 19th century, when painters were experimenting with patterns and color, musicians and composers followed suit--shifting their focus away from a coherent and linear melodic line and experimenting with the
timbre
and color of tonal shifts. Musical works by composers like Messiaen, Ravel, and Debussy are performed and explored.
