Timeless Shapes: Fantasias, Dances, and Variations - Tracy Cowden & Wesley Baldwin Date and TimeThis concert brings to life a wonderful range of musical forms in duo music for cello and piano, with music from five composers spanning over two hundred years. Discover two of the nineteenth century’s most significant and courageous female composers through the sparkling Fantasia in G Minor by Fanny Hensel and the lyrical Sonata in A Minor Op. 5 by Ethel Smyth. Enter a journey of moods and impressions by one of America’s most important art song composers in Ned Rorem’s Dances for Cello and Piano, and delight in the joyful brilliance of Beethoven’s Variations in F Major on “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte Op. 66. Wes and Tracy will bring this exploration of musical forms to an end with one final celebratory dance, the Mexican “Atardecer Tapatío” from Danzas Latinoamericanas by Jose Elizondo.
