La Jolla Music Society's marathon concert featured 400 years of musical compositions that each referenced other music
The musicologist Paul Henry Lang wrote, “A musician is a historian.” He meant that musical works and their performances connect, implicitly or explicitly, to other music — that art doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
György Ligeti’s early “Bagatelles for Wind Quintet” date from 1953. Nos. 1, 3, and 6, heard Friday, are a bit different from the wild essays in sonority most listeners associate with the mature works, focusing instead on reference, rhetorical gesture, and style.
Pouliot remained and was joined onstage by violinist Steven Copes for a rousing and virtuosic duet arrangement by Bruce Dukov of Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” complete with piccolo solo. The two sounded as if they’ve played together for years, absolutely selling this most famous of Sousa’s marches.
Bohuslav Martinu, like Schreker, straddles older and newer directions in European music in the first half of the 20Century. His one-act ballet from 1927, “La revue de cuisine,” blends the melodies and rhythms of Jazz with his own gift for sonority and inventive instrumental writing.
