A fantasy on Shakespeare's Tempest and the movemen
A fantasy on Shakespeare's Tempest and the movement Chorus of Shades can be found in a follow-up work to this musical piece, whose composer added an obligato cornet part to the second movement's original version. In the third movement, the oboe and cor anglais represent two shepherds, while the fourth movement uses pizzicato to represent a severed (*) head and depicts a lovesick man taking opium. The final movement features variations on a Dies Irae theme and a vulgar dance, one of several interpretations of the idée fixe, Harriet Smithson. The movements "March to the Scaffold" and "Dream of a Witches' Sabbath" appear in, for 10 points, what programmatic symphony by Hector Berlioz?
