Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra On Your Doorstep: Music for Wind Octet
Join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at the Devizes Corn Exchange on Friday 15 May for an evening exploring all the character and beauty of wind instruments.
Full of drama and exuberance, we play extracts from Mozart’s Don Giovanni – including the Overture, music full of the vitality and virility of the Don himself.
The beauty of wind instruments and the virtuoso of our players are showcased with Octets by Gipps and Beethoven, a charming quintet by Zemlinsky and Debussy’s Syrinx exhibits the beauty of solo flute.
Ibert’s Trois Pièces brèves interweaves flute and clarinet lines to a delicate effect. There is a freshness and elegance to the melodies throughout these three short pieces.
Price originally wrote Adoration for an organ church performance, but this arrangement sees the piece in new light performed by our wind players. Price’s unique style is on display, as she weaves African American spiritual melodies with European classical tradition.
Works and composers:
Mozart - Don Giovanni: Overture and Selected Arias
Debussy - Syrinx
Gipps - Wind Octet Op.65
Zemlinsky - Humorske: Rondo
Ibert - Three Short Pieces for Wind Instruments
Beethoven - Octet Op.103
Price - Adoration
