About this work
The second part of the Eighth Symphony sets the final scene of Goethe’s Faust and unfolds a much more continuous journey than Part One. Motifs pass from soloists to choir and then to orchestra towards the final expansions of sound.
Locate returning motifs and handovers of text before rehearsing the large tuttis. A common pulse needs to survive changes of tempo so that the episodes do not become a mere succession of tableaux.
Balance exposed voices with the instrumental timbres that prolong them. Crescendos will benefit from being prepared across long phrases while preserving choral tuning and clarity in the basses.
