The Farewell Symphony

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by JoAnn E. Kitchel. Haydn's "Farewell" symphony, composed as a protest to his employer, directs the orchestra members to stop playing one by one and leave the stage. Celenza, a musician, convincingly represents what the main characters' emotions and musical motivations might have been. Large watercolors reminiscent of Tomie dePaola's flesh out the story. (The accompanying CD includes the "Farewell" as well as the "Hornsignal" symphonies.)
