No composer has more eloquently argued for the cause of human freedom than Beethoven- his incidental music for Goethe\u2019s Egmont brings to life one nation\u2019s struggle for liberty as a powerful metaphor for the struggle for freedom across generations, as does his Third Symphony, originally written in fervent sympathy with the French Revolution. Beethoven changed the title from \u201c<em>Bonaparte<\/em>\u201d to \u201c<em>Eroica<\/em>\u201d when the French leader crowned himself Emperor of France. For Beethoven, victory and freedom belonged to all who fight for it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aprilfredrick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Publicity-Photo-9a-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soprano April Fredrick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 June, 2015 7:30 PM English Symphony Orchestra Kenneth Woods- principal conductor Magna Carta Celebrations at Worcester Cathedral 8 College Yard, Worcester WR1 2LA Mozart- Overture to the Marriage of Figaro Beethoven- Overture and Incidental Music from Egmont Ben Humphrey- narrator April Fredrick- soprano Beethoven- Symphony no. 3\u00a0 \u201cEroica\u201d Tickets \u00a320, \u00a315 from Worcester Live &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/beethoven-the-revolutionary\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Beethoven the Revolutionary&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16,18,89],"class_list":["post-2092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-beethoven","tag-ben-humphrey","tag-mozart"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2092\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivalmontpeyroux.com\/eso\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
