Walter","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eLouis Spohr’s innovative approach to symphonic writing began with the programmatic Symphony No. 4 (8.555398) and was further broadened by Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 121 which he subtitled ‘The Earthly and Divine in Human Life’. Jettisoning traditional symphonic form, this work is in effect a daring symphonic poem in three movements with a small orchestra representing the ‘divine’ and the full orchestra the ‘earthly’. The more traditional Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 137—enshrining both tragic lament and sweet serenade—enables us to compare Spohr the innovator with Spohr the formalist.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSpohr, Louis\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Symphony No. 7 in C Major, Op. 121, \"Irdisches und Göttliches im Menschenleben\" (The Earthly and Divine in Human Life)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 I.
