Arvo Pärt: Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten
Puccini: Crisantemi
Mozart: Symphony No. 29
This program brings together orchestral and chamber‑scale works spanning more than two centuries. Edward Elgar’s Serenade for Strings (1892) reflects late nineteenth‑century Romantic craftsmanship, while Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (1721) represents an earlier approach to concerto writing, featuring violin, flute, and harpsichord. The concerto will feature concertmaster, Sonja Bosca‑Harasim; principal flute, Deb Harris; and NDSU Associate Professor of Piano, Tyler Wottrich.
Giacomo Puccini’s Crisantemi (1890) is a single‑movement elegy for strings written in one night and notable for its concentrated, restrained character. Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten (1977) distills modern orchestral sound to its most elemental materials through repetition and limited harmonic means. The program concludes with Mozart’s Symphony No. 29 in A major (1774), a work that demonstrates remarkable clarity at an early stage of his career. Together, these pieces present musical thought across two centuries.
