On Tuesday, April 14, the Moran Woodwind Quintet, the faculty quintet in residence in the Glenn Korff School of Music at UNL, will present a recital at 7:30 in Kimball Recital on the UNL Campus.
On the program will be four works in a wide variety of styles. The program opens with a rarely heard work by oboist Henri Brod, a Parisian contemporary of Beethoven and Schubert, who was one of the earliest writers for quintet (along with Cambini and Reicha), cast in the standard four-movement tradition of the time. UNL tuba professor Craig Fuller joins the Quintet for a jovial work by British Composer Paul Harvey (b. 1935), depicting six inns and pubs near London, entitled Six for Six in Six Inns. Late Romantic composer Alexander Zemlinsky’s short and stylish Humoreske follows, cast in rondo form with unmistakable Austrian qualities. The final work on the program is the substantial Afro-Cuban Concerto by Valerie Coleman, flutist with the Imani Winds. This three-movement work is a concerto in the sense that each member of the group takes turns as featured soloist with other members providing support. Rhythmically interesting for the listener and challenging for the performers, this work shows African as well as possible Caribbean influence.
