Drawing inspiration from other composers is not uncommon\; but to further build and develop on the musical concepts is indeed something remarkable!
\n\nWhen Beetho ven finally started working on his first symphony\, he built it upon the ac hievements of Haydn and Mozart. However the humor heard in this work was un questionably Beethoven&rsquo\;s. Although it took some time to fully develo p his own style\, this marked the beginning of his greatness in this partic ular instrumental genre.
\n\nSimilarly\, with operatic overtures alre ady developed and perfected by composers like Mozart\, Weber took inspirati on and developed a new concept which was designed to develop an atmosphere to &ldquo\;set the stage&rdquo\; for the opera. Besides stating the signifi cant themes from the opera\, Weber also managed to create a concentrated or chestral synopsis of the opera&rsquo\;s atmosphere and plot with his overtu res.
\n\nFor the finale\, BHSO will be presenting a world premiere pi ece by John Sharpley\, &ldquo\;A Moment of Rest Upon the Wind&rdquo\; which is based on The Prophet\, a book of prose poetry by writer Kahlil Gibran\, dealing with many different subjects like love\, freedom\, religion and se lf-knowledge.
