On Sunday afternoon, July 14, at 2 p.m., in the sanctuary of All Saints Anglican Church, 30 High Street in Huntsville, there will be a delightful Summer Musicale concert featuring musicians from the Huntsville area performing a wide variety of musical styles.
The performers will include Louis Tusz, Merrill Perret, and Ray Chantler, trumpets; Margot and Ron Jewell, viola and clarinet; Ruth Cassie, keyboard and vocals; Karen Richards, Patricia Morehead, and Philip Morehead, flutes, oboes, and bassoon/keyboard; with Ruth Cassie and Michele Collins, narrators. Entrance is by free-will donation and the concert will be followed by a reception with refreshments in the foyer of the church.
This talented assemblage will perform works by Gershwin, Debussy, Handel, Patricia Morehead and others, and a Canadian premiere of a composition by Chicago African American composer Regina Harris Baiocchi.
Regina Harris Baiocchi writes notes and words to fill vessels called music, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Regina is driven by her curiosity to create art that is informed by research, speaks to diverse audiences, and moves people. The new work by Baiocchi is a setting of six haiku and senryu poems written by Baiocchi. Haiku (HI-KOO’) and senryū (SIN-RYE’-OO) are 3-line,
unrhymed poems of up to 17 syllables (5/7/5 form) with Japanese roots and global life. Often, haiku are about nature, while senryū are about human nature. The settings are for solo oboe, solo oboe d’amore, and solo English horn, played by Patricia Morehead, who will be performing the work later in July at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona.
