The serenades are typically light and romantic music. The term comes from the Italian word serenata, which itself derives from the Latin serenus. Sense influenced by Italian sera “evening,” from Latin serus “late”. A serenade is a musical greeting performed for a lover, friend, person of rank or other person to be honored.

Among the most famous examples of the serenade from the 18th century are those by Mozart, whose serenades were often purely instrumental pieces, written for special occasions such as wedding ceremonies. By the 19th century, the serenade had transformed into a concert work. The representative example of that time is the Serenade for Strings by Dvořák.

On this romantic evening, Macao Orchestra will perform two famous serenades for you in the St. Dominic’s Church. Please join us at 8pm on November 12 at the St. Dominic’s Church!
