Flute professor John Bailey, assisted by professor of piano, Mark Clinton, will deliver a recital of standards and rarely heard flute repertoire at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 3 in the Kimball Hall. The performance is free and open to the public.
On the program is the Sonatine for flute and piano by pianist and composer Walter Gieseking, known primarily for his outstanding recordings of the piano music of Debussy and Ravel. Firmly in the Romantic tradition, the three-movement Sonatine is a lyrical piece with a rich harmonic texture.
In honor of UNL acquiring the newly published complete works of Theobald Böhm, flutist and inventor of the modern flute, the two will perform his Variations on a German Air, Op. 22, on the well-known song, “Du, du, liegst mir im Herzen.” Also on the program is the rarely heard “Scotch Pastoral” by British composer Cyril Scott, and the single-movement “Sinfonische Kanzone” by Sigfrid Karg-Elert, professor of composition at the Leipzig Conservatory. “Voice for solo flute,” by Japanese composer, Toru Takemitsu, rounds out the program.
