The Bard (Sibelius)

The Bard (Sibelius)

"The Bard" is a brief tone poem composed in 1913 by Jean Sibelius. The tone poem itself provides a profound, yet cryptic, glimpse of an elegiac, poetic world: an initial, harp-led stillness and reflection are succeeded by elemental, eruptive surges and, finally, a sense of renunciation or maybe death.
