L'Enfance du Christ Op. 25Hector Berlioz
1850-1854
|
||||
| 11 |
Part II: The Flight into Egypt
Hector Berlioz' L'Enfance du Christ (Childhood of Christ) is a rarely performed masterpiece, one of only a handful of Berlioz works written for chamber orchestra. The elegant pastoral chorus “The Shepherds’ Farewell” occupies the center point of the piece, and it is easy to see why audiences have always responded so warmly to this gentle music. The section concludes with the narrator relating “The Repose of the Holy Family.”
