Where everyone may recognize the delicate tones of a Chopin Nocturne, similarly titled pieces by other composers are less well known. Come hear nocturnes by Field (who is the originator of this title), Liszt, Fauré, and of course, Chopin - performed by Sam Partyka, who will also present his own addition to to the genre.
With the Nocturne, composers are invited to pen their subtlest musical imaginings. Where Field's nocturnes owe their inspiration to the duetto notturno of opera (e.g. "Nuit paisible et sereine" from Béatrice et Bénedict by Berlioz) in which two women sing to an orchestral accompaniment, others may have less tangible origins, Sam invites us to listen for a visit from Calliopeia, the descent of the Holy Spirit, the mists of a dream coalescing and dissolving, the church bells stirring the stillness of night before dawn.
