Little Peaceful Music

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

The recorder has developed a reputation as a child’s instrument, but mastery of this woodwind instrument is no easy task. Tonight we hear virtuosic performances of music written specifically for the recorder, such as composer Milos Raickovich’s playful “Little Peaceful Music.” Also, music from Steve Reich and Stravinsky.


Also Featured Tonight:

Marco Uccellini / Aria sopra a bergamasca
Benjamin Bar-Am / Petite Suite for Recorder and Harpsichord
George Phillip Telemann / Gypsy Sonata in A Minor
Leonard Bernstein / Fancy Free
George Frederick Handel / Judas Maccabeus, Act III/2
