John Cage
Musical selections by John Cage, Lou Harrison and Steve Reich dominate the evening as we continue our American Music Festival, starting with Reich's hypnotic "Duet" for two solo violins and strings.
"The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" is John Cage's delightfully alliterative song for baritone and "closed" piano; we'll hear Paul Hillier and Alan Bennett respectively. Another Cage piece that involves an interesting piano is the Suite for Toy Piano, featuring pianist Margaret Leng Tan and the American Composers Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies.
David Tanenbaum takes up Lou Harrison's Harp Suite, this time on guitar; we'll also hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec in his "Ariel Fantasy" for violin and piano.
