Passion of Joan of Arc in Lenox

[jbuck919]

I could theoretically make it to this performance, but I'd need a context like we're in the middle of Tanglewood and there are three interesting things going on over two days to justify it. Note that the organist is a expert at accompanying silent films, which usually involves a theatre organ, but here he is perfectly happy (as he said in a radio interview) playing a fine church organ instead. This article does not make it quite clear that this film actually has a composed orchestral score which does not exist in its entirety, and must be reconstructed rather piecemeal as it is for this performance.

Only the reduced full score by Leo Pouget and Victor Alix, and the string and vocal parts have survived, found in the Library of Congress. For the Lenox performance, the wind parts have been recreated and added, Goodman said.
