Notes:
Decoda: The artists for this concert are drawn from the larger ensemble. The Decoda Flute Trio is comprised of virtuoso musicians, entrepreneurs, and passionate advocates of the arts selected from the larger ensemble. Based in New York City, Decoda creates innovative performances and engaging projects with partners around the world. The artists of Decoda first collaborated with one another in the renowned Ensemble ACJW fellowship program, created by Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School and Carnegie Halls Weill Music Institute, and they now extend that relationship as an Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall. Since its inception in 2011, Decodas projects have reached audiences in schools, hospitals and prisons as well as in prominent concert halls across the globe.
A Message From Decoda: There are limitless answers to the question "What Inspires A Composer?" Often, there is a fascinating or deeply personal story behind a piece. Sometimes the inspiration is a current state of mind, or a response to what is happening in politics or culture, among many other things. In this flute trio program titled Folk Song, we're exploring the music of diverse composers who were inspired by the music and cultures that came before them -- in some cases, dating back to ancient times!
In a long and healthy tradition, composers enjoy paying homage to the past by putting their unique spin on folk material. In pieces like Haydn's Piano Trio in G Major "Gypsy" or Martinu's Variations on a Slovak Theme for cello and piano, Haydn gives a nod to traditional Hungarian rhythms and style, while the theme of the Martinu variations is the old Czech folksong, "If I Only Knew." Jack Body and Gabriela Lena Frank dig thousands of years in the past to salute the sounds and traditions of ancient cultures. In Body's Rainforest for flute and piano, we hear wild reinterpretations of the music of Pygmy groups of the rainforests in Central Africa. The Frank offers a fascinating, imaginative look at ancient South American cultures based on rituals and collections of artifacts. Decoda looks forward to exploring Folk Song with you!
