Anette Richard's organ recital in Anabel Taylor Chapel, originally planned for this coming Tuesday, March 11th, is postponed to Thursday, May 8th at 7:30pm. We hope that you will be able to join us for that exciting exploratory program at the end of the semester.
About the recital:
Playful and experimental, 20th-century Argentine-German composer Mauricio Kagel’s “Rrrrrr” Suite for Organ consists of 8 short movements, each inspired by a name, or musical term, or organ stop (or whatever…) beginning with the letter ‘R’. In this exploration of the versatility and humorous potential of the Anabel Taylor organ, Annette Richards juxtaposes Kagel’s “Rrrrr” with her own choice of “Rrrrr” pieces, including J. A. Reincken’s “Nightingale,” N. A. Strungk’s Ricercar on the death of his beloved mother, and Ritornelli by J. S. Bach, in the form of his transcription of Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Violins in A minor.
