- Notes: The Maine Friends of Music chamber group will perform a varied Baroque and Beyond concert on Saturday, November 5 at 3:00 PM at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Newcastle, Maine. The program will include music by Boismortier, Couperin, Devienne, Mozart, Beethoven, Field, Faure, and Joplin. Members of the ensemble are Sean Fleming, piano and harpsichord; Linda Brunner, flute; and David DeBolt, bassoon. The Maine Friends of Music is known for its varied programs, and this concert carries on that tradition. The concert will begin with a suite of dance music for bassoon by the French composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Selections from Couperin’s “Les goûts-réunis, ou Nouveaux concerts” will follow; a piece in which the harpsichord and the full ensemble alternate. A flute sonata by Devienne, the “French Mozart”, a movement from Mozart’s sonata in B-flat major for bassoon, and a beautiful nocturne for solo piano by the Irish composer John Field, a predecessor to Chopin, will be played. The concert will end with a set of variations for flute, bassoon, and forte-piano written a by a teenage Ludwig Beethoven, and an arrangement for the full group of Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer.”
