In Reply to: Was just thinking - maybe the OP is hearlng the key of the last movement as C-major. . . posted by Chris from Lafayette on October 26, 2015 at 18:57:19:
I can sing what I hear should actually be the final tonic note, one which the tonic chord would be built. I'm not sure if I'm experiencing C, although that's one explaination.
But, the point is that:
1. Stanford has masterfully succeeded in creating an ending that really does end on the tonic, but sounds as if it's away from the tonic. Not lost blundering in a far away key, in the home key, just not on the first note and chord of the scale.
The way he prepares all of that's genius. Not to take a sophomoric swipe at another work, but it makes Strauss's ending to Zarathustra seem simplistic.
Thanks to Chris -and- grudgingly but with confirmation - to JDaniels; both for revealing and helping to unveil the harmonic structure of this marvelous musical experience.
