Candlelight Concert

Sunday, July 23, 8:00PM, All Saints’ Episcopal Church

Hymn Fugue and Fancy: Music in Four Parts by Bach, Haydn, and Shaw

Adriane R. Post, violin; Johanna Novom, violin; Kyle Miller, viola; Paul Dwyer, cello 

 

J.S. BACH, Chorale “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” from BWV 244

HAYDN, Quartet for Strings in D major, Hob. III:34 (Opus 20, No. 4)

J.S. BACH, Contrapuncti 1, 6, 9 from “Art of the Fugue” BWV 1080

SHAW, Punctum

 

“The cornerstone of this program is Shaw’s Punctum (2009, rev. 2013), a gorgeous piece for string quartet that draws inspiration from the chorale that recurs in J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. We open the program with the fourth iteration of that setting, and we include some additional J.S. Bach fugues… Rounding out the program is a musical refreshment…Haydn’s String Quartet in D Major.” – Kyle Miller
