Mixing history and anecdote, For the Joy of It narrates the evolution of the HRO (formerly known as the Pierian Sodality of 1808) from a small cadre of musicians into a full-scale orchestra that has played numerous international tours. This graceful, profusely illustrated, and highly readable history of the HRO traces the growth of the orchestra through its various phases and conductors, and provides a charming account of a long, adventurous voyage conducted on waves of sound.
