Music Appreciation Group One
On Monday, 1 August, members met at Glenys’s house for two hours of music with the theme:
‘Composers, musicians and composers beginning with the letters ‘U’ AND ‘V’ (it being presumed
that pieces/musicians with the initial ‘U’ might be very thin on the ground!). An extremely
enjoyable morning was the result, as follows:
UT queant laxis – Gregorian Chant;
UNICO Wilhelm van Wassenaer, ‘Concerto Armonico No 6’, The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra;
Peter VASKS, ‘Summer Dances’ – Priya Mitchell and Hugo Ticciati;
‘The World How Wide: a choral reimagining of VAUGHAN WILLIAMS’ ‘Fantasia on a Theme
by Thomas Tallis’;
Marco UCCELLINI, ‘La Bergamasca;
Francesco USPER, ‘Ave Maria’;
VILLA LOBOS, ‘Uipuru’;
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, ‘The Lark Ascending’ (as originally heard) – Julia Hrang, violinist;
VIVALDI, ‘Winter’ (‘The Four Seasons’), Mari Samuelson;
Maxim VENGEROV, Beethoven’s ‘Violin Concerto in D major, op61;
VIENNA Philharmonic Orchestra, Samuel Barber ‘Adagio for Strings, op11’ (summer night
concert, 2019).
The next meeting will be on Monday, 5 September. As there is such a choice, it was decided to
continue with the letter ‘V’.
