Claude Debussy: Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp Toru Takemitsu: And I Knew 'Twas Wind Paul Thomas: South American folk songs (Premiere performance)
The program Premiered in 1917, Claude Debussy's ethereal and melancholy Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp introduced an innovative combination of instruments through the traditional sonata form. This combination of flute, viola, and harp has proven to be internationally inspiring and has resulted in a large amount of works by various composers looking back to the Sonata not just for instrumentation but also for musical motifs.
One of the most interesting pieces developed from
thisinterest is Toru Takemitsu's And I Knew 'Twas Wind, a haunting
experience of sound which references Debussy's Sonata in several places
while taking the listener on a new journey through aural landscapes.
Join the Linden Trio in the journey from Debussy's Sonata through
Takemitsu's "And I Knew 'Twas Wind," and be present for the premiere of
a work by Paul Thomas followed by a set of South American folk songs
arranged for this trio. Patricia Surman
