British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) took inspiration for his rapturous Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis both from Ravel’s French Impressionistic style and from the Renaissance choral master, Thomas Tallis. Likewise, modern British composer, Anna Clyne, found inspiration for DANCE from Rumi, the 13th Century Persian Muslim Sufi poet, Rumi.  Opening with a sonic nod to Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia, Clyne brings her DANCE concerto through many emotions and many exquisite musical colors.  French composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 – 1921) found inspiration for his Symphony No. 3, Organ Symphony, from Franz Liszt’s technique of “cyclical form,” in which a short musical motive begins the Symphony, evolves continually, and ends the work completely metamorphosized.  One of the Symphony’s most ingenious features is the addition of a pipe organ to the orchestral instruments.  When the final movement arrives, the organ is used to break open the heavens, leading to one of the grandest and most goosebump-inducing endings in all of music.
