e/Aurora (orchestral tone poem)

Information
has gloss	eng: Aurora is an orchestral tone poem by William Lloyd Webber which is acknowledged to be among the composers finest works. Written in 1948 it lay unperformed for many years. When a recording was issued in 1986 the Guardian newspapers reviewer, Edward Greenfield, described the work as: " Music as sensuous as any you will find by a British composer". William Lloyd Webber himself had this to say in a programme note about Aurora: “Arriving from the East in a chariot of winged horses, dispelling night and dispersing the dews of the morning. Aurora was the Roman Goddess of the dawn. This short tone poem attempts to portray in reasonably respectable sonata first movement form, the inherent sensuality of her nature. Consecutive 6/4 chords introduce a bit of night music soon to be dispelled by the dawn theme, announced by the flute.
