Concert 3 of Oak Hill Music Festival 2024

Landscapes

One of the masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire, Schubert’s Trout Quintet was written while the young composer was on vacation in the countryside. The quintet’s sunny and carefree atmosphere reflects Schubert’s joyful summer full of outings, parties, and music surrounded by the streams and forests of beautiful Austrian countryside. In contrast Valerie Coleman’s Rubispheres for wind trio depicts the bustling and soulful New York cityscapes of the Lower East Side and Washington Heights.

Concert 2 of Oak Hill Music Festival 2024

The Romantic Virtuoso

The nineteenth century saw the rise of the musical superstar, a trend reflected in the dazzling music written by and for these virtuosos. The Piano Trio in Eb major is from the height of Beethoven’s heroic middle period. As the composer, our archetypal Romantic artist-hero, wrote of himself: “There are many princes and there will continue to be thousands more, but there is only one Beethoven.” Halvorsen’s flamboyant Passacaglia, based on a theme by Handel, puts both violin and viola through their paces. Brahm’s stunning clarinet quintet was written to feature both clarinet and violin, in a part originally written for Joseph Joachim, one of the 19th century’s most influential violinists.

Folk Music

Journey around the world through folk music — done classical style! Some of Dvorak’s most iconic works were inspired by the music he heard on his visit to the United States, including his “American” String Quartet (as well as the famous New World Symphony). Stacy Garrop’s Silver Dagger draws from an Appalachian folk song about star-crossed lovers, while William Grant Still’s Miniatures arrange cowboy music, Spirituals, and other tunes. Carl Nielsen’s colorful and evocative woodwind quintet reflects his influences of the Danish folk music he heard growing up and his love for Mozart and Bach.
