Long Island Chamber Music at LIM: A Mosaic of Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet
October 17 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Experience this Mosaic of Miniatures, a charming program of wind quintets showcasing music from the Baroque to the Space Age performed by Long Island Chamber Music.
The evening begins with Amy Beach’s serene and lyrical Pastorale, a gentle introduction evoking the tranquil beauty of nature. Following this piece is Malcolm Arnold’s lively Three Sea Shanties, which brings to life the spirited tunes of seafaring life. The program continues with William Grant Still’s Four Miniatures, a captivating suite that explores a rich tapestry of cultural influences, including a cowboy song, a spiritual, and pieces inspired by Peru and Mexico. Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Gavotte and Six Doubles adds a touch of Baroque elegance with dance forms and variations, showcasing the quintet’s virtuosity. After intermission, be transported to the whimsical and colorful world of Darius Milhaud’s La Cheminée du Roi René, a suite inspired by the folk music and historical tales of Provence, France. The evening concludes with Marc Mellits’ dynamic Apollo, a powerful rock-inspired composition celebrating the spirit of the Apollo 11 mission. Join us for an evening filled with vibrant contrasts and musical delights that highlight the versatility and richness of the wind quintet.
