Patchwork

A Far Cry in Jamaica Plain
February 9 2013 4pm
St. John's Episcopal Church, Jamaica Plain, MA

Shostakovich: Two Pieces for String Octet
Multiple: Variations on an Elizabethan Theme
Boccherini: Night Music of the Streets of Madrid
Hearne: Glasshouse (world premiere)

One of A Far Cry's four commissions of the season, Ted Hearne's diverse "Law Of Mosaics" is the inspiration for an entire concert of "patchwork" structures. According to Hearne, greenhouses were his inspiration, in the way they bring together plants from around the world, creating unexpected neighbors. Hearne's eclectic style is mirrored by the Variations on an Elizabethan Theme, which is a multi-movement work with each movement composed by a different English composer. Shostakovich and Boccherini round out the Patchwork.
