SUMMARY:Les Délices (USA)
DESCRIPTION:Moonlit Mozart \nBuy tickets \nLes Délices\, from New York\, performs some of the most beautiful music ever written for wind instruments\, in this program of Mozart’s wind octets. The voluptuous sound of oboes\, clarinets\, bassoons and horns becomes even richer when played on period instruments with flawless ensemble playing. \nIn late-18th century Vienna\, wind bands known as “Harmoniemusik” offered an effective – and colorful – means of presenting music in virtually any setting. Whether performing nocturnes or serenades\, dance music\, or even operatic or symphonic reductions\, an ensemble of eight woodwinds could cover most – if not all – bases. Soaring melodies were often split between first oboe and first clarinet\, inner parts were covered by other woodwinds and horns\, bassoons would alternate between tenor solos and bustling bass lines\, and a double bass often provided reinforcement on the low end. For Moonlit Mozart\, acclaimed oboist and Les Délices Artistic Director\, Debra Nagy\, brings together today’s finest period-instrument wind players for an “undeniably uplifting” all-Mozart program that includes original 18th-century arrangements of selections from The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni\, plus Mozart’s monumental Serenade in C minor (K388). \nPROGRAMME: \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791) \nSelections from The Magic Flute \n1.
