Join us in Ritter Library as BW professors Dr. Khari Joyner, cello, and Dr. Julian Ross, violin, perform selected movements from Gliere’s Op. 39 duos and Kodaly’s masterwork, the Duo, Op. 7.
The Kodaly is especially salient today as war ravages Ukraine. Composed in 1914, as the tragedy of World War 1 loomed, Kodaly took melodic fragments from Eastern-European folk music to capture a most somber yet heroic spirit. It is a rhapsodic and lavish work that requires virtuosic mastery from both players.
In contrast, the Gliere duos radiate brief glimpses at the tenderest of spirits.
