The Eckhart Ensemble will present music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Vaughan Williams. Vaughan Williams' unusual settings of William Blake's poems will here be performed by a child singer for the Songs of Innocence and by and adult soprano for Songs of Experience. The program opens with Beethoven's beautiful sextet Op. 71 for two clarinets, two bassoons and two horns and closes with Mozart's first masterpiece for a large wind group, his Serenade in E flat Major K. 375. for two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and two horns. Both the Beethoven and the Mozart works are typical of the light hearted music so frequently heard at the time in Vienna, aiming most of all to please the listener. Mozart wrote that on the night of its first performance, the musicians performed the serenade three times—“as soon as they finished playing it in one place, they were taken off somewhere else and paid to play it [again].”
