Glenn Korff School of Music professors Darryl White, trumpet, and Jamie Reimer, soprano, will present a faculty recital titled “A (Mostly) Baroque Banquet” on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church. The concert is free and open to the public.
They’ll be joined on the program by Professor of Organ Christopher Marks, harpsichord/organ; Professor of Viola Clark Potter; Sam Stanley, cello; Jack Carlson, violin; Laura Watson, violin; and Julietta Rabens, harp.
The program includes J.S. Bach’s “Cantata BWV 51” and “Cantata BWV 21”; Giovanni Pergolesi’s “Cujus animam gementem” from “Stabat Mater”; Georg Friedrich Handel’s “Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne” (“Eternal Source of Light Divine”) and “Let the Bright Seraphim” from the oratorio “Samson”; the hymn “How Great Thou Art” and “The Lord’s Prayer” by Alfred Hay Malotte, arranged by Julietta Rabens.
“This is a program that Darryl and I have wanted to perform for several years, and the timing is finally right,” Reimer said. “It’s a celebration of duets for soprano and trumpet from the Baroque period (1600-1750) by some of the most recognizable composers of the era. We’re sprinkling in some traditional hymns written later, so it’s ‘mostly’ Baroque music.”
St. Mark’s United Methodist Church is located at 8550 Pioneers Blvd. in Lincoln.
