French Troubadours
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
During the first hour of this evening's program, we will delve into French songs from the medieval and Renaissance periods. Beginning with anonymous troubadour songs of the 12th and 13th centuries, we will follow with a favorite song by Guillaume de Machaut whose Old French title is "J'aim la flour de valour."
Also on the program tonight, we will hear Aaron Copland's seminal Violin Sonata, performed by Gil Shaham and accompanied by Andre Previn on the piano. In addition, we'll hear the suite "Aires Tropicales" by Cuban composer and bandleader Paquito D'Rivera.
