Taunton Sinfonietta
Flutes and Strings
Listed on our website as 'Suites and Concerti' this concert is a wonderful concoction
of Flutes and Strings for your entertainment, enjoyment and edification!
Join us at this the start of our new season and brighten these gloomy days ~
3.00 pm
on Sunday 9th February at St James' Church, Taunton.
Director Mary Eade plus visiting soloists Judith Hall and Jonty Hedges
Works include ~
Johann Sebastian Bach - "Brandenburg Concerto No 4" Written in one of the happiest and most
productive periods of Bach's life, each of the six Brandenburg's requires a
different combination of instruments and of course highly skilled soloists - the
fourth uses flute and violin soloists where the latter is allowed to truly soar!
Antonio Vivaldi - "Concerto for Two Flutes" The only one of his nearly fifty concertos written
for two soloists that is for two (transverse) flutes, rather than the more
frequently found recorders common to the period.
Ralph Vaughan Williams - "Fantasia on Greensleeves" - Described by Classic FM as "an
exquisite four minute orchestral miniature", the piece uses not only the
traditional tune alluded to but also the melody "Lovely Joan" which
Vaughan Williams encountered whilst roaming rural Suffolk.
Christoph Willibald Gluck - "Dance of the Blessed Spirits" - from what is often said to be the most popular and
influential of his works, "Orfeo ed Euridice": noted as one of the turning points in
the history of opera. The "Dance" is a "roundelay" of strings
with the melody on flutes floating above and together they capture the atmosphere of
the Elysian Fields by the intertwining of tranquillity and melancholy.
A free drink and chance to mingle in the interval too!
Tickets available from the Taunton Information Centre adjacent to the library ~
£15
(Patrons/Friends £12 Students £5)
We look forward to welcoming you.
