MasterVoices: Night Songs & Love Waltzes |
|
This evening features the music of influential Romantic era composers, as well as today’s Ricky Ian Gordon and Stephen Sondheim, and the poetry that inspired them. Welcome to the intimate art of the part-song, a popular form of 19th century harmony most often sung around the parlor piano.
MasterVoices’ Night Songs and Love Waltzes showcases compositional masters of this lost tradition – including Felix Mendelssohn, Clara and Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert, and Johannes Brahms – as well as brand new music from contemporary composer Ricky Ian Gordon. The evening will conclude with a specially arranged suite of waltzes from Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music, arranged by MasterVoices’ own Tony Award-winning Artistic Director Ted Sperling. |

Hungarian Fire |
|
Hungary’s deep musical roots in folk
tradition had widespread influence on composers of other lands. Brahms, the strict traditionalist, shared his love of Hungarian folk music with his predecessors Mozart, Haydn, and Schubert, and his passion for it is heard expertly realized in his Hungarian Dances. György Ligeti was an artistic descendent of both folk music pioneers Bartók and Kodály, and Dohnányi’s early quintet
garnered the hard-won admiration of Brahms.
BRAHMS Selected Hungarian Dances for Violin and Piano (1868, 1880) (arr. Joseph Joachim)
KODALY Serenade for Two Violins and Viola, Op. 12 (1919-20)
BARTOK Contrasts for Violin, Clarinet, and Piano (1938)
LIGETI Selected Piano Etudes
DOHNANYI Quintet No. 1 in C minor for Piano, Two Violins, Viola, and Cello, Op. 1 (1895)
