Fanfare for Fenway was written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park in 2012. John Williams’ mother was a Boston native and lover of Fenway Park who imparted a strong familial connection to the city in her California born son. Regarding his inspiration for the piece, Williams says: “When you think about Boston, Harvard and M.I.T. are the brains of the city, and its soul might be Faneuil Hall or the State House or the Old Church.
But I think the pulsing, pounding heart of Boston is Fenway Park. When it’s empty, being in Fenway is like being in a cathedral. You can sense all the great performances that have taken place over the decades and the millions of happy people who have sat in those seats. It’s a very inspiring place.”
