What’s this program about?How do composers depict forces of nature through their music? Artists have always been inspired by the natural world; it has been the subject of countless paintings, poems, novels, sculptures, and more. But music? How can someone write music that evokes the feeling of sitting by the sea or depicts movement of water or the sensation of fresh, spring weather. In this program, we feature three pieces that do exactly that. Each composer has taken a different approach to the task and the results are unique, attention grabbing, and undoubtedly beautiful.
More about the music:
Angelica Negrón’s, Marejada, sets the tone for our program. Meaning “surge” in Spanish (a theme which ties all three of our pieces together), Marejada mixes string instruments with a pre-recorded track to create a meditative sensation of spending time at the seashore. Libby Larsen’s Emergence expresses different states of water by using a wide range of sounds and techniques from the string quartet. Finally, WA Mozart’s Spring Quartet is full of playfully surging melodic lines and a feeling of fresh spring air.
Come ready to…
play with water, find your beach vibes, and recreate a spring day!
