The charming and buoyant Three Shanties, by Malcom Arnold, is one of the most standard and most beloved works in the woodwind quintet repertoire. Two more recent arrivals to the woodwind quintet repertoire will be featured alongside it on the November 3, 2009 Faculty Artist Series Recital by the Pacific Arts Woodwind Quintet.
These new works are the quintessentially atmospheric Viole de lune by Pacific composer, François Rose and the intricate and vividly stitched Quintet for Woodwinds by Californian composer John Marvin.
The Pacific Arts Woodwind Quintet will also share some selections of Panamanian folk songs and dances as a special preview to their May 2010 residency at the Alfredo De San Malo Music Festival in Panama City, Panama, Central America.
