PrestoThis recital is presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree Bachelor of Music in Performance.Mr. Stanfield studies flute with Christina Smith.Program NotesSonata No. 5 in E minor, BWV 1034JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH It is unclear as to when Bach wrote this particular sonata, but it is believed that he wrote it either during his time in Cöthen or after he moved to Leipzig. The latter is probable because he started writing more complex flute obbligatos in the arias of his cantatas which then arose to the belief that there probably was a flute virtuoso residing in Leipzig at this time. During this time, the transverse flute was quickly supplanting the recorder because of its improved agility and tone and as a result, Bach wrote to incorporate this into his compositions. This sonata is set in the Ba-roque style of the sonata di chiesa with the four movements following the format of slow-fast-slow-fast.Sonatine pour Flute et PianoHENRI DUTILLUEX, 1930Dutilleux’s music reflects heavily on the styles of his French predecessors of tex-tural clarity of Ravel and Debussy with a blend of other 20th century techniques such as modality and serialism. One of his trademarks is the use of complex rythms, which is utilized right in the beginning of this Sonatine, being in the asym-metrical meter 7/8. This work was written during WWII and as a technical test to flute players attending the Paris Conservatory and has become one of the major French compositions in the flute repertory.Introduction and Variations on “Trockne Blumen” D. 802FRANZ SCHUBERT, 1824Schubert wrote this work based on the themes from his song cycle, “Die Schöne Müllerin,” most particularily from the 18th song in the cycle, “Trockne Blumen.” This work is dedicated to flutist Ferdinand Bogner. The introduction is set in a heavy E minor, surrounding the theme in withering despair. Trockne BlumenIhr Blümlein alle, die sie mir gab,Euch soll man legen mit mir ins Grab.Wie seht ihr alle mich an so weh,Als ob ihr wüßtet, wie mir gescheh?Ihr Blümlein alle, wie welk, wie blaß?Ihr Blümlein alle, wovon so naß?Ach, Tränen machen nicht maiengrün,Machen tote Liebe nicht wieder blühn.Und Lenz wird kommen, und Winter wird gehn,Und Blümlein werden im Grase stehn.Und Blümlein liegen in meinem Grab,All you little flowers, that she gave me,you shall lie with me in the grave.Why do you all look at me so sadly,as if you had known what would happen?All you little flowers, how withered, how pale!All you little flowers, why are you so wet?Ah, tears will not bring the green of May,nor make dead love bloom again.And spring will come, and winter will go,and little flowers will grow in the grass.and little flowers will lie in my grave,Similar to Schubert’s art songs, where the voice and piano accompaniment play an equal role in the music, both the flute and piano are equals. Both instruments trade off with virtuosic technical passages and simple themes to create a common tex-ture throughout the entire composition. Interestingly from the piece, there seemed to have been little collaboration between Schubert and Bogner since there is little concern for places to breathe in the flute phrases!Sonata in D Major, Op. 94SERGEI PROKOFIEV, 1943During the outbreak of World War II and at the height of his career, Prokofiev, be-ing one of the biggest Russian cultural figureheads, was evacuated from Moscow to a remote shelter in the Ural Mountains. While in the Ural Mountains, Prokofiev wrote many monumental works, including this flute sonata. This sonata shows his affinity for the classical style, the first movement being in a textbook Sonata Allegro form and displaying much lyricism in the main theme. An energetic second move-ment in the style of a dance-like scherzo builds excitement with the use of cross rhythms and hemiolas. The third movement is a calm andante with a comfortable and somewhat sensual pace bringing forth the lyricism found in the opening move-ment. The pace picks up in the final movement, building highly energetic and crisp lines until a huge climactic ending. Often mistaken as a violin sonata, many people assume that envious flute players yet again raided the violin repertoire; however, it is indeed composed purely as a flute sonata that was then later arranged for violin. Die Blümlein alle, die sie mir gab.Und wenn sie wandelt am Hügel vorbeiUnd denkt im Herzen: Der meint' es treu!Dann, Blümlein alle, heraus, heraus!Der Mai ist kommen, der winter ist aus.all the little flowers that she gave me.And when she wanders by on the hilland thinks in her heart: "His love was true!"Then, all you little flowers, come out, come out;the spring has come; the winter is over.Upcoming EventsUnless otherwise noted, all events will take place at 8:00 pm in Morgan Concert Hall.We welcome all guests with special needs and offer the following services: easy access, companion seating locations, accessible restrooms, and assisted listening devices.
