Episode 243: The Perfect Fool - Holst

7/14/2013

No one wants to be known as the perfect fool. In 1923 when Gustav Holst wrote an opera with that name, he gave rise to the same problem. "The Perfect Fool" wasn’t popular, and it makes you wonder why the composer, who has won the hearts of wind band fans with the 1st and 2nd Suites for Military Band at the top of the charts, would write an opera. Why go where Verdi and Wagner were the champions?

Here in the United States during the 1800's there was a belief that American settlers were destined to expand throughout the continent. They called this policy “manifest destiny” and no matter how you feel about the expansion of our settlers to the great wild west, it really happened. Horace Greeley coined the phrase “Go West Young Man,” and this week at the gathering place for people who love band music we’ll hear music that explores that fascinating time of our history.

Veteran's Day has been celebrated in many different ways under several different names over the time from 1919 until now. That journey has kept many people from understanding who we are honoring. There may be many ways to study the holiday, but here on Wind & Rhythm, we honor veterans with sweet music, stirring music, exciting music - the kind of music you hear when a band plays.
