A. Dvořák - Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Part 1
The word symphony comes from the Greek words syn- and phone, which the Greeks used to define concepts related to 'harmony'. Since the 18th century, this term began to be used in relation to a musical form mainly derived from the sonata, but also from the prelude, suite, and overture.
The VIII Symphony 'Songs of Transience' by Krzysztof Penderecki is a piece that - speaking about trees - talks about the relentless passage of time and the transience of human life. It is a journey through dying gardens, guided by German poets: Eichendorff, Kraus, Hesse, Goethe, Rilke...
The Renaissance is a completely new period in all of art. With the decreasing influence of the Church on the cultural life of Europe, music flourishes, becoming entertainment, as concerts can be heard not only in churches, but also in palaces and castles.
