Repertoire imagines a lovely garden through the flowing melodies of “Suite from the Victorian Kitchen Garden” by Paul Reade before turning to the soaring expression of “Romanza” by Michele Mangani. Carlos Guastavino’s “Tonada y Cueca” blends a slow melodic love song with a lively Chilean-style folk dance. The unaccompanied “Hommage à M. de Falla” by Béla Kovács showcases dramatic contrasts and syncopated rhythms with the clarinet imitating other instruments such as a trumpet and guitar.
Shelly Armstrong, Wayne State’s collaborative pianist, will provide accompaniment.
