ELECTRUM DUO - Lecture Recitals 

LECTURE RECITAL:  THE MUSIC OF INGOLF DAHL

Recent university and young people's recitals featured an in-depth look at the chamber music of Ingolf Dahl. The Duo presented several lecture recitals based on his “Duettino Concertante.” The performances included a detailed analysis of the compositional elements of the work as well as the technical demands required of the performers. Lectures were tailored to the experience and interests of each audience. The Duo's children's concerts emphasized Dahl's use of register, melodic and rhythmic imitation, unique timbres and musical form. Undergraduate-level university recitals thoroughly examined compositional elements including melodic and rhythmic analysis, twelve-tone rows, musical form and extended techniques. The series concluded with a formal recital followed by a visit to the recording studio which produced a unique recording of Duettino Concertante.

Take a journey through the world of flute and percussion. Learn about the origins of these two very ancient instruments, and discover the history of their partnership. These instruments of seemingly contrasting backgrounds become complementary collaborators full of sensual timbres, metal effects, and extended techniques that play off of each other’s sounds completely. We will explore the concert flute, alto flute, and piccolo paired with percussion, and delve into the fun and exciting world of extended techniques and effects. This workshop will include performances of 20th century works as well as newly commissioned masterpieces that are sure to surprise and delight even the most traditional audiences.
