About
Gabriela Lena Frank’s Elegía
Andina (Andean Elegy) was her first written composition to
explore having a multicultural upbringing. Dedicated to her older brother,
their upbringing was filled with Chinese stir-fry, Andean nursery songs and
frequent visits from their Jewish cousins from New York. Pastorale d'éte
by the French composer Alfred Honegger is a short symphonic poem inspired by
his vacation to the Swiss Alps in 1920. Béla Bartók’s Romanian Folk
Dances is based on seven Romanian tunes from Transylvania. Closing
out the program is a 1992 SPCO commission — Eric Stokes’ Prophet Bird
contains chamber music arrangements of selected piano miniatures by Robert
Schumann.
