Allegro Carl Reinecke (1824-1910) Ballade, opus 288 (1908) Joachim Andersen (1847-1909) Scherzino (1894) Ian Clarke (b. 1964) Orange Dawn (1992) Program Notes: Flute Concerto in D Major “Il Cardellino” Antonio Vivaldi was a prominent composer of the Baroque era. His works are very popular, even to the present day. Vivaldi wrote many pieces in his life, including this flute concerto. Il Cardellino translates to “The Goldfinch” and is one of his most beloved flute concertos. The name refers to the cheerful and bird-like qualities of the piece. The first movement opens with lively and bouncy arpeggios and trills which resemble bird calls. The flute takes center stage and sings through vibrant melodies, while having a conversation with the piano accompaniment. The second movement embraces the lyrical aspects of bird songs. The flute sings a heartfelt melody while the piano plays beautiful harmonies. The third and final movement returns to the joyful and light birdsongs while showing off the agility and dexterity of the instrument. Ballade Carl Reinecke was a prominent composer and pianist in the mid-Romantic era. There was little solo flute music composed during the Romantic era, so this piece is truly like no other. The lyrical melodies combined with the rich harmonies in the piano encompass the expressive characteristics and emotional intensity of the Romantic period. The sections of this piece take the listener on a journey through flowing, delicate melodies before abruptly shifting to a more intense feel. The contrast in these sections gives the performer a chance to connect to the audience through a range of emotions and explore the nuances of the piece. Scherzino Joachim Andersen was a Danish composer, conductor, and flutist who composed almost exclusively for the flute. A Scherzino is a playful, light, and short composition. This piece perfectly captures that essence. Opening with a light and playful melody which dances through the range of the flute. The diverse dynamic contrasts and articulations allow the performer to show off both the expressive and more technical elements of the instrument. As the piece progresses, the lively and playful rhythms keep the listener engaged to the very last note. Orange Dawn Ian Clarke is a British flutist and composer known for his innovative and contemporary flute repertoire. Clarke writes about the piece, “Orange Dawn was originally inspired by the vision of a dawn scene in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. Awakening exotic animal life was envisaged silhouetted against a dramatic rising sun.” The opening of the piece uses alternate fingerings to create a “mysterious and earthy” quality to the sound. The middle section consists of fast runs over brilliant piano melodies. As the flute plays a soaring melody, it also plays flowing runs underneath. The piano plays a cadenza and the flute returns to the earthy and mysterious feel. The conversation between the flute and piano slows as the piece draws to an end. When I auditioned for the Campbellsville University School of Music, I played two pieces: an excerpt from Fantasie by Georges Hue, which I performed in its entirety on my Junior Recital, and Deep Blue by Ian Clarke. I have always enjoyed learning something new and pushing the limits of the instrument, and these pieces are no exception. I chose to play another Ian Clarke piece on my Senior Recital to end this journey how it started.
