The Parnassus Club met at the home of Sharon Jones with eight members present. The study of the Tone Poem continued with Becky Dudrey giving the program on Richard Strauss’ composition ‘Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks’ Composed in 1895. ‘Till Eulenspiegel’ chronicles the misadventures and pranks of this German peasant. In this composition, Richard Strauss, uses the horn and the D flat Clarinet to bring to mind the folly of this prankster, Till.
The next meeting of Parnassus will be at the home of Darlene Boley. The tone poem, ‘Peter and the Wolf’ by Prokofiev, will be the program.
