Works for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra

[Ilja]

Rued Langgaard's Third 'Symphony', 'La Melodia', is scored for orchestra, piano and a wordless choir (in the coda) a la Daphnis et Choé. Of the two available recordings, only the recent Dausgaard contains the choral bit. I would consider the Langgaard 3 his most 'easy-going' symphony by far*: a thoroughly enjoyable work.

*The first may be less typically 'Langgaardian', but what it lacks in idiosyncracy it more than makes up for in length.
