| Comments |
A serenade for string orchestra reflecting on Jacques' well known speech in Shakespeare's "As You Like It".
5 movements: berceuse-scherzo-romance-fanfare-finale
The composer: "The whole work is light and tuneful in style, and though perhaps no more profound than Jacques' cynical speech, presents a more hopeful, positive view of life". |
