The Hotel
The Angel Hotel is located in the centre of the characterful
Sussex market town of Midhurst, situated in the beautiful
South Downs countryside. The building has an elegant Georgian
façade, which hides a much older building, a former 16th
century coaching inn full of real warmth and character.
The Course
Strauss enjoyed a remarkably long creative life of more
than sixty years, from the early 1880s to the late 1940s.
He was a prolific composer who worked in all the established
forms; beyond the opera house his work has been most valued
in the fields of the orchestral tone poem and the solo song
with orchestra or piano. Our weekend will take account of all
these aspects of the man and his music, and will include a
song recital. It is designed as an informal ‘house party’,
so guests need only the ability to enjoy music; no
technical knowledge will be required and music examples
will be provided on excellent hi-fi equipment.
Terry Barfoot writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals,
orchestras, festivals and record companies. He lectures at South Downs
College, at Oxford and other universities, and is Publications Consultant
to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
