Saint Paul Sunday: July 1997


	July 1997 July 6 - July 13 - July 20 - July 27 Wind Musicians of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra JULY 6, 1997 Woodwind music can brighten even the darkest day. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, Bill McGlaughlin welcomes a quintet of principal wind artists from the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra - friends from just down the street. They'll play a program of lovely and seldom-heard works for winds, including Claude Arrieu's sparkling "Quintette in C major" and an eclectically American work by Alec Wilder. For the program's final work, Bohuslav Martinu's "Nonet," four string musicians will join the quintet and McGlaughlin himself will conduct the combined ensemble.

On Saint Paul Sunday this week, the Kronos performs works drawn from wide-reaching international sources: Hamza El Din's "Water Wheel" (Sudan), Franghiz Ali-Zadeh's "Mugam Sayagi" (Azerbaijan), Scott Johnson's "It Raged from How it Happenes" and Raymond Scott's "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" (both from the United States). Listen in this week for a program of true artistic and nomadic discovery. Photos: 1, 2, 3, 4. Hamza El Din: Escalay (Water Wheel) Raymond Scott/arr. S.

Miss McPartland has been near the heart of this country's jazz scene for decades, and her visit this week will introduce us, both through music and reminiscence, to the jazz greats she has known. We'll hear arrangements of music by Jerome Kern, Victor Herbert, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Victor Young, Conrad Robinson, and McPartland herself.
