I. Boccherini’s “Procession of the Military Night Watchmen in Madrid” for strings The theme from the movie ‘Master and Commander’ is part of this delightful musical scene painting of the mili- tary watchmen marching in Madrid. You’ll hear the tolling of church bells and the rat-a-tat-tat of the drums as well as drunken beggars and an evening rosary prayer.
II. Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet op. 114. Piano quintet including double bass violin (instead of 2 violins) The piece is known as the Trout because the fourth movement is a set of variations on Schubert’s earlier Lied “Die Forelle” (“The Trout”). Die Forelle was originally a song to warn young women against being ‘caught’ by ‘angling’ men. This is a lighthearted, exuberant, brilliant, nimble piece featuring sparkling trout stream arpeggios as well as growling, rolling, bottom fish.
