[BBCB-Mail] More coming events

[John Howell]

For those interested, I wanted to mention a couple of concerts coming up.

Sunday, April 20, 8 p.m., Squires Recital Salon. 
The Virginia Tech Early Music Ensemble.  "Music 
for Spring, Fit for a King."  Several chamber 
sonatas by baroque composers, a string orchestra 
suite, and several very fun vocal selections (if 
we can get them all learned!).


PROGRAM

Georg Philipp Telemann, Trio Sonata for 2 Oboes, Bassoon, Harpsichord

Vocal set:  "Hey ho! to the green wood now let us 
go"; "In a Garden so Green" (English and Scotish 
early renaissance songs).

Jean Baptist Loeillet, Trio Sonata for Alto 
Recorder, Violin, Cello, Harpsichord.

Pierre Danican Philidor, Suite for 2 Flutes, Cello, Harpsichord.

	INTERMISSION

Telemann, Trio Sonata for Violin, Viola da Gamba, Bassoon, Harpsichord.

Vocal set:  "O Lusty May" (anon. Scottish); 
"April is in my Mistress' face" (Thomas Morley); 
"Ce moys de may" (Clément Jannequin).

Georg Muffat, Suite No. 2 for String Orchestra from "Florilegium Primum."

This is a different kind of program for us, 
because we've never in the past had the breadth 
of talented players to do this kind of program. 
And in spite of what it may look like, there's a 
lot of good variety in it.  We will also be 
playing selected music from this program in the 
War Memorial Chapel from 6-7 p.m. on Tech's Day 
of Remembrance, Wednesday, April 16.  There will 
be music in the Chapel from noon to 8 p.m. that 
day.


And our Kissin' Cousins, the Blacksburg Community 
Strings, will be presenting their Spring Concert 
on Sunday, May 4, 3 p.m. in Squires Recital 
Salon.  Concertmaster Cheryl Prince will be 
joined by flutists Mary Walters and Vicki 
Scarratt for Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 4," 
while Tech cellists Jessica Brown and Paul Smith 
will be guest soloists for Vivaldi's "Double 
Concerto in G minor."  Additional pieces by 
Christoph Graupner, Jean Sibelius, and Bedrich 
Smetana.
