This
program reflects composers that exemplify architectural structures in
their compositions. We will also feature guest emcee Martin Moeller,
author of AIA Guide to the Architecture of Washington, D.C., and guest
conductor Nancy Plantinga.
The concert will begin with J.S. Bach’s “Fugue a la Gigue,” arranged by Gustav Holst. Bach was the master of the fugue and constructed a clear foundation upon which other composers built. Our next selection, Eric Whitacre’s “Sleep,”
highlights our guest conductor, who is a personal music mentor to our
own conductor, Joe Bello. Nancy was instrumental in Joe’s musical
journey, serving as his first “Architect of Music.”
Closing the program will be Ottorino Respighi’s stirring
composition “The Pines of Rome.” Respighi was an Italian composer and
musicologist whose music reflects the 16th and 17th centuries. This work
is most commonly known for its appearance in Disney’s Fantasia 2000.
We look forward to seeing you at 8pm on November 5, at the CHEC, to journey through D.C.’s Different Drummers’ Architects of Music.
