WOODWIND
QUARTET
MARTIN GASKELL
The premiere of
my woodwind quartet (flute, oboe, clarinet, & bassoon) will be on Tuesday
November 28th at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln in the
Westbrook Recital Hall (room 119, Westbrook Music Building – not Kimball
Recital Hall). The concert starts at
6:30 p.m. and will last a little under an hour. Admission is free.
The quartet is
for flute, oboe, clarinet, & bassoon.
It is in four movements. Click here for a copy of the program notes.
The concert is
being given by the Quasar Quartet (see below).
The program also includes arrangements of a prelude and fugue by J. S.
Bach and four contradances by W. A. Mozart.
The contradances are distant cousins of the dances danced at the Lincoln Contradances
each month.
If you click here you can get
some information about my other musical compositions. If you are a wind player and are interested in obtaining a copy
of the music (score and parts) to the quartet you can e-mail me at gaskell@inetnebr.com.
CRITICAL
ACCLAIM FROM THE GASKELL FAMILY!!
[I’ve noticed that people in the
performing arts tend to post favorable reviews of their works and performances
on their office doors so I thought I would put selected favorable reviews
here!!]
Timothy (age
10): “it’s great”
Timothy: “It’s
fantastic!”
Laura (age 4
and not noted for sitting still) “I think the slow movement is boring!”
Mommy: “Just
ignore her – she’s only a four year old!”
Timothy: “It’s
really good!”
Timothy: “It’s
wonderful!”
Mommy: “Now
Daddy, I want you to realize that the whole family thinks your quartet is great
too.”
Daniel (age 8):
“yes!”
Laura: “I think
it’s great too!”
