About

The 7th Symphony is not only a milestone within Wagemans’ own compositions but is also a monument in post-war symphonic music as a whole. Despite the huge orchestral forces employed, the work often has a chamber music-like intimacy; there are many passages in the symphony for solo instruments. The City and the Angel is inspired by the painting ‘The Entry of Christ into Brussels’ by James Ensor. The various points of departure in this short piece for orchestra are brought together through a skilled application of collage technique called “mosaic form”, so called, because of the rapid changes between the various styles of music.
