Full program notes

Character titles in the music of French baroque icon Jean-Philippe Rameau are echoed in the work of 20th century composer Maurice Ravel. Each composer uses sound as a medium to depict colorful caricatures of mundane and fantastical subjects. The program intersperses short character pieces by Poulenc, Rameau, and Ravel, ultimately concluding with Ravel’s Piano Trio in A Minor.

Program:

Poulenc - Melancholie
Rameau - Rappel des oiseau
Ravel - Oiseau tristes
Rameau - Les tendres plaintes
Rameau - Les Cyclopes
Ravel - Une barque sur l’ocean
Ravel - Alborada del grazioso
