Bach* -JS by Matthias Maute -Partita No. 3, BWV 1006 by J.S. Bach* *transcription: Alexa Raine-Wright ABOUT THE MUSIC Although this is a Bach concert, the music is, in a way, all new. I am very proud of the three transcriptions I have completed. The process deepened my connection to my instrument, pushing me to recreate the breadth and virtuosity of the original violin versions, while integrating sonorities that are wonderfully unique to the Baroque flute. I also delve into contemporary works written specifically for me by Quebec flautist-composers, showcasing the beauty of the instrument in a contemporary and deeply appealing way. Baroque rhythms and gestures are combined with hauntingly beautiful modern harmonies. |
